for the long horns of the steer are
sharp, and more than once Pickett has
narrowly escaped being impaled.
The cowboys and cowgirls give a
quadrille on horseback: they give ex-
hibitions of rough and fancy riding.
and they illustrate the humor as we'll
as the dangers of ranch life. The
cowboy clowns also win many a
spontaneous laugh from the audience.
AS an interesting contrast to the cow
boy method of rough riding there is a
band of Russian Cossacks. whose
wreckless Workmanship is exciting in
the extreme.
An important part of the 101 Ranch
There are representatives of the
Navajo and other tribes. Many of the
braves are accompanied by their
squaWs n there are also many In
dian children. The Indian camp is
said to be one of the most interesting
features of the Wild West and always
arouses a great deal Of interest.
The big show will arrive at an early
hour tomorrow Sunday morning via
the Great Northern from Crookston,
where two performances are being
given today. The tents will be pitched
on the old gas tank grounds. There
will be much of interest to see while
the horse tents and some of the other
pavilions will be open for inspection.
The first big event Monday will be
the parade, which leaves the show
grounds at 1890. A great display is
promised. Seats at McGrath's drug
store Monday at the same price as on
the show grounds.

IS STARTED BY
OFFICIALS
Northern Minnesota Nav be
Temporarily Closed by
Federal Chiefs.

Following is the text Of a dispatch
from Bemidii regarding the liquor sit
uation on Indian territory in North
ern Minnesota:
After several months of apparent in
activity. following the vigorous cam
paign of Special Agent w. E. johnson,
who threatened to close every saloon
in northern Minnesota, the govern
nlent has begun a new crusade against
the sale of liquor in Indian territory.
On Wednesday afternoon c. c. Bran
non. assistant chief special officer,
placed under arrest John Burk and
John Schultz, saloon keepers in Redby,
on the Indian reservation in Beltrami
county.
Deputy United States Marshall
Buchanan of Little Falls arrived here
Thursday on his way to Redby. where
he Is today, and frankly admitted that
vigorous are being taken to
stop the illegal sale of liquor.
The arrests of the Redby liquor
dealers are believed to be but the first
steps in a general and sensational
move by the government officials.
SO important is the present move,
that secret service men here say that
c. f. Houpt, United States district at
torney at st. Paul. will come to Be-
mid1i to personally conduct the prose-
cutions.
More Arrests Expected.
Peculiar and unprecedented" is the
way one of the government men ex-
pressed the present complications.
Mr., Buchanan said: 1T is true that
] have warrants for several other par
ties, and l understand that more ar
rests are to be made. 1t is not pos
sible for me to give the names at this
time"
Burk and Shultz we're arrested on a
warrant charging them with attempt
ing to introduce intoxicating LIQUOR
into the reservation, and on the charge
of attempting to sell liquor to persons
of Indian blood.
The prisoners We're turned over to
Marshal Buckman and we're arraigned
here last evening before United States
Commissioner H. 4. Simons. The men
were represented in court by Attorney
Henry Funkley of this city. Each en-
tered a plea of not guilty and de-
manded a hearing. They were re-
leased on bonds of $500 each and their
hearings were set for July Is.
1t is understood that Bemidii men
are involved in the arrests which are
to follow.

rough riders of Cheyenne. Pendleton
and Oklahoma. as we'll rs the prize
winners from the Rodeo in Los An
geles. Among them are said to be
some of the most daring and expert
cowboys and cowgirls in the United
States.
The old pioneer days are pictured
by an attack on a settlers camp by
Indians and their repulse by scouts
and cowboys under the leadership of
Joseph c. Miller, the Oklahoma
ranchman and cattle king: the hold
up of the stage coach by Mexican
bandits; the capture and punishment
of a horsethief; the pony express, and
Of genuine wild bisons is utilized.
The life of today on the great cat:
tie ranches has its expression in the
dangerously thrilling sports and dare
devil feats of the cowboys, cowgirls
Indians and Mexican Vaqueros. The
roundup, in which a big herd OF
l~ong-horned Texas steers is used, gives
opportunities for some a exhibitions
of practical roping. The individual
exhibitions of fancy roping are also
described as remarkable. There is
some fine shooting by Princess Wen.
ona and Edith Tantlinger. Indian girls
of exceptional cleverness. A bunch OF
practically untamable bronchos test
the daring and skill Of the mans

cidentally create a lot Of amusement

RAILROAD R~ECKLESSNESS.

Two railroad disasters within the
last ten days, resulting in a casualty
list of 14S-siXty-eight killed and
eighty injured--direct sharp attention
to tie methods pursued on railroads
looking To the safety of passengers
Is it possible that everything is being
done hat skill can devise to prevent
these horrors? Is there constant Wig
ilance, without which railroading is
nothing more than mechanical muir
der? Is there provision for plenty Of
watchnen and trackwalkers, so that
trainloads of human beings are rot
left to the mercy of chance?
Instead of spending millions for
costly and snowy terminals. some Of
the railroads would do we'll to use
part of the money for safeguarding
human life. Big terminal stations
are ornamental. and thew impress
the public with the importance of
the railroad: but after all. passen-
gers are in these stations only a mo-
lnent or w going or coming. and
it is vastly more important that their
lives should be s~afeguarded in tran
sit than that they should be sur
rounded with luXuries.
How much is reckless rivalry re-
sponsible for railroad horrors? The
race for speed, the effort to divert
travel from rival roads by Snowy
buildings and equipment, and the
corresponding re~trenchments that
are likely to occur in the really es-
sential operating departments may
be the explanation of mor than one
accident in which passengers are
manned and killed by the score.
Eternal vigilance is the price of
safety on the rail. The railroad that
looks after the safety Of its passen-
gers first is doing only its duty.
Skimping in the number of watch
men and trackwalkers, impositions
Upon exhausted trainmen, and in
%sistence upon hairbreadth schedules
are faults that amount to crimes.
Greater safety is easily practicable.
and the interests Of humanity de-
mand hat national and state au-
.hority shall be more vigilant and
rigorous In the enforcement Of disci-
pine and every other mean of pro-
tecting the travelling public.

placing a heavier burden on the tax

We believe, they understand now that
none OF he proceeds of the bonds

Another difficulty was the fact that
when the question WAS voted on the
people did NOT understand that the
amount proposed would be extended
over a large period of years so that
those who get the benefit of the safer
security for public records twenty
wears from now must hear a share Of
