Breitmann to fall in love with the
daughter Of a millionaire. Loving her
was not impossible, but leaving at an
early day would go toward lessening
the probability. He was not afraid OF
Breitmann; he was foreigner enough to
accept at once his place, and TO appre-
oiate that he and this girl stood at the
two ends of the world.
And Breitmann's mind, which mad, up

They have it and it flies. Ever since
Kit Carson's Buffalo Ranch Wild West
Shows billed that they would exhibit
a Curtis-Farnum Biplane and that 1t
would actually make a flight, pro-
PEELED by competent aviator. nothing
but doubt existed in the minds o the
public, which had not entirely for
gotten that last year a show adver-
tised like attraction and only ex-
hibited a small aeroplane model in
their side show. However, Harris
burg was filled with people last Sat-
urday, in fact the largest crowd that
ever congregated in the county was
present to witness the street parade,
which by the way, was first-class and
was followed to the show grounds by
an expectant throng that numbered
fully 10000 people. as it had been
rumored that the show really had a
large Aeroplane and it was erected
ready for flight. After reaching the
grounds at 1870 promptly as adver-
tised, the Aeroplane rose from the
ground like majestic bird and
scared away in the heavens, flying
over the city, sailing around in circles,
diving down low one moment and the
next dashing high in the air. with per
feet ease. reminding one of the flight
of an enormous eagle.
After remaining in the air ten min.
utes the aviator directed his Biplane
toward the show grounds and landed
safely at the place of starting amid
the cheers of the multitude. The
doors to the big show were immed-
lately opened and the mighty canvas
was crowded by an enthusiastic crowd
that filled every available seat and
enjoyed the Wild West performance
from start to finish.
We can safely say that a more
pleased audience never left a place
of amusement in our city.-Harrls-

RIGGS is ROULETTED.

Especial to the Tribune)
SENTINEL BUTTE, N. D., July %.
Frank Riggs was quite seriously
hurt the first of the week when he
was thrown, out at the ranch, by a
mean horse. He was out showing
men where to cut some hay when the
animal started Whirling rapidly
around with him. After a few min
utes of this Mr. Riggs was so dizzy
that he was almost senseless-and
about that time the animal began to
pitch and threw him into gully, in
juring him about the face. head and
shoulders quite severely. He was
senseless for about an hour and then
got up and rode the animal back to
the house-but the next day still COM
planned of dizzy feeling and the doc
tors feared that there might be a
small clott of blood on the brain. Yes
terday, however. he was reported to
be improving. This whirlng stunt is
a new one and when all the bad
horses in the country get wise to it.
the chances are that the sport of rid
ing them will not be so popular
even among proficient men like Mr.
Riggs.
