Wild West Show at Terri torial Fair Grounds on Christmas
 Day
ARIZONA HARRY ON
 A FESTIVE BULL
Fine Exhibitions of Bronco Riding, Crack Shooting and Equestrian
 Sports

Arizona Harry and his Arizona cow boys pulled off a very creditable and thrilling performance .at the Fair grounds yesterday afternoon, and was rewarded by very good crowd who seemed to get it's moneys worth and then some.
 The category included everything from mother hubbard race to the riding of a wild bull. which were both as amusing as they were exciting, anu included the performances of forty or fifty of the best baqueros in the val ley. There were also a few old riders who hearing of the show that was to be pulled off. had ridden down from Colorado to take part in the festivities but were not as successful in fatten- ing their wads with prize money as the riders of the territory.
 Perhaps the most spectacular stunt was the last event. the riding of the wild bull by Arizona Harry. But there were some very fancy riding. bronchO busting. novelty racing and some wing shooting by Mrs Knight, who has giv- en exhibitions in many states.
 After the burrO race. the opening event came potato race between ten baqueroS in an effort tp ride full speed d hundred yards, spear a potato and return to the starting point and drop the spuds into a basket. Dassey got the prize. a five dollar hat from Gold berg's landing six of the starchy bulbs in the basket in three minutes. Gibson was second with five scores. and Elmar third with four. The contest had much the appearance of a lot of ar mOurless gladiators of old. with wood en spears, fencing with each other as they raced. blocking and colliling. har- assing each other. much to the amuse- mcnt Of the spectators
 Barry Knight followed with a sort exhibition Of fancy rope throwing and rope spinning, spinning out as much a., seventy-five feet of the riata and roping a running horse and rider with his feet as well as his hands
 He was also about the only entrant to qualify in the flag picking contest from the back of a running horse. i Young Wilson another entrant was

Croppy is one of the best riders in the territory and carried away more prizes than any other con tcStant at the show
 Arizona Harry than rode the bull. ItS not every day that an entertain- ment of this sort is seen even in Ari- zona, and there are not many riders who care to risk a public tussle with the brute. Harry strapped a leather belt around the animals waist. anl climbed on.

The big animal cavorted around even after the ride was over. and wouldn't admit he'd been subdued.
 Today, at o'clock in the after noon, Arizona Harry will stage the same production at the fair grounds, or perhaps q better one. as he has received q bunch of wild goats that will be roped and tied. along with other stunts. Most of the famous riders of the territory will participate in todav's program.

CUT 10000 BALES

South Carolina Is Hurt-Decided I'm
prOvement in Condition in Texaa
and Oklahoma Indicated.

Memphis, Tenn.-Reports are unfa.
vorable east of the Mississippi river and
in Louisiana. In Arkansas the feeling
is slightly more hopeful by reason of the
cessation of rains, and in Oklahoma and
Texas a decided improvement in condi-
tions is indicated.
Very heavy rains and wind damaged
the crop in South Carolina, although rain
may in the end add something to the
yield from the late cotton. Georgia re-
ports considerable deterioration and a
disappointing outturn where picking is
begun. In Alabama and Mississippi the
damage from cotton army worms is very
heavy this week, the pest appearing over
wide areas and stripping field after field
of every vestige of leaf growth and
young, tender bolls. Conservative esti-
mates place the loss in Alabama at $780,
600 bales, and in Mississippi at about
half as much.
The weather was slightly more favor
able than heretofore, little rain having
fallen in the valley, but a much longer
period of dry weather is needed.
1t is evident that the rains in Texas
will add something to the crop and may
make a material addition if the frost is
late. Some Oklahoma correspondents
think the crop as good as last year, and
while others report an ~irreparable loss,
improvement since the rains is generally
conceded. Cotton is opening less rap

HArPIMs AND WoMEN

American efforts to regulate the
length Of women's hatpins, in order
to lessen the danger therefrom, are
the extreme Of mihness when com
pared with the drastic measures
adopted by the railway administration
OF Saarbrucken, Germany. In this
country numerous municipal bodies
have discussed the hatpin question,
and 4 few have fixed upon q certain
number Of inches as the length to
which women could lawfully go in the
wearing OF hat fasteners, says the
Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph. So
far as known, however, there has
never been an attempt to enforce such
an ordinance-probably for the rea-
10 that American women are consid-
cred able to regulate such matters for
themselves. 1t remained for the afore-
said German railway administration
to prescribe a desperate remedy for
what seems to be regarded owe there
as a desperate disease-if the follow
ing Of a fashion can be termed a dis
ease. The railway officials Of Saar-
brucken have received their orders as
to how they must act when they are
confronted by a woman wearing a
hatpin Of the prohibited length. She
must be requested to remove It, and
II she refuses to do 30 she is to be
prevented from travelling by train and
told to leave the station, further re-
tfusal to obey making her subject to
imposition of a fine. Thus It is made
manifest that Germans are bold where
Americans are timoroug.
