East Cleveland. There are cats ap-
pertaining to that street and those
cats do nightly sing upon the porches
of Meers, Hester, Krauss, Robinson,

juxtaposition to that of Mr.. Nolan. The
cats were very busy few nights ago,
as the whole neighborhood was aware.

Indian Maidens Great shooters.

Some of the best shooting in the
in Nampa Tuesday, June Is, is said to
be accomplished by Cheyenne In
dian girl, who is known among her
| people as Princess Wenona. This
young Indian girl shoots clay pigeons
and glass balls, the latter so small
that 1t is difficult at times to distin-
! guish them in the air, with an ac-
curacy and rapidly that is declared
to be unrivalled among Caucasian
crack shots. She is also an expert
horsewoman, and many of her best
stunts with the rife are done while
galloping around the arena on one OF
the half-wild little Indian ponies.
Another Oklahoma Indian girl who
accomplishes things with a rifle is
Edith Tantlinger. Her skill. like that
of Princess Wenona, is the result of
practical experience in hunting. Many
a deer and many bear have fallen
victims to accuracy with the rifle.
Among the cowgirls with the show
there are, it is said, several who han
die the rifle with more or less dex-
terity, but their most pronounced |
cleverness is in riding and subduing |
wild horses. Lulu Parr is credited |
with being an expert in breaking"
outlaw ponies, although she is only
my bit of a young woman and her
appearance does not in any way sug-
,est the rough life of the ranch.
Title Baldwin, Bessie Herberg,
Iuanita and Ethel Parry, the cowgirl
wins, Beatrice Brosseau, and many
ther cowgirls with the show vie with
he cowboys in giving exhibitions of
ough riding that are thrilling and
and at the same time often
amusing. All these wild 9
'est people will be seen in the pre- {
parade Tuesday morning | I
he route of the parade will be the f
sual one over the downtown streets.
The show comes almost direct from I
ortland, where it was one of the big | /
atures of the Rose Festival.
