Wild West at the Wisconsin state
fair.I
All the thrilling features of Uncle
Sans great out-of-doors, the prairie
and mountain regions west of the
Mississippi from the days of '49 to
the present, will be presented free
absolutely free-for all patrons of the
Badger state exposition at State Fair
Park, Milwaukee, this gear, September
to IL. The board of agriculture de-
sires the best to entertain patrons of
the great agricultural and commercial
event and is spending $4,000 to bring
Irwin Bros. Real Cheyenne Wild West
to give two shows daily, the FIVE days
of the fair.
Entertained Roosevelt.
The Ground up" is exactly the same
as entertained former President
Roosevelt twice and former President
Taft at Cheyenne, Wyoming. Wiscon-
sin people and all patrons of the state
fair will be favored beyond Roosevelt
and Taft in that the great home COM
ing for prairie, ranch and mountain
will come to them instead of demand
ing that they make a special trip into
the far west.
Cowboys, cowgirls and Indians,
numbering $50, will come with the
great cavalcade. Every broncho bus
ter, man or woman, and every Indian,
has record, some of them having pro-
vided sensations by their deeds of dar-
ing and skill for more than a quarter
of a century. They will bring the
realism of the wild frontier into Wis
consin, with their wonderful horse
manship, lassoing and bull-dogging of
vicious steers, and remarkable skill
with rifle and pistol The Sioux In
dams will portray the wild and pictur-
esque life of the Redskins, in peace, in
raj of the most noted chiefs living will
be in attendance
Famous outlaw bronchos, wild buff
faloes, and pugnacious, long horned,
swift-footed steers to the number of
| $50, will be on hand to do their part
in the sensational exhibitions. Many
of the bronchos never have been train
ed for use because no man has been
able to accomplish the hazardous task
Only the best of wild west horsemen
are able to remain on their backs
momentarily. Daring cowboys and
cowgirls, however, will try to ride
those horses for the entertainment of
state fair patrons. Among those I'M
comfortable beasts are Old Steam
boat, Teddy Roosevelt and Blizzard,
we'll known for years at all the "round
ups" in the west.
Drive Buffaloes in Harness.
Among the features of interest will
be the only pair of buffaloe bulls ever
trained to drive double in harness.
These two animals are as wild as any
other OF their species.
Animal trainers says that it is more
difficult to train the buffalo than the
vicious moose.
Of frontier characters who will take
prominent parts daily, one of the most
famous and interesting is Charles
Miller, better known throughout the
west as Hot Shot" expert broncho
oh IF
Irwin Bros herd of wild horses.
"Hot Shot" will ride wild steers, buff
faloes, bronchos and nearly every type
of western animal that has four hoofs
and back and life enough to be un-
ruly and dangerous. Famous among
the cowgirls will be Praiaie Rose Hen
derson, champion lady broncho buster
of the United States, who won the con-
test at the Rodeo, Los Angeles, last
year, and Fanny Sperry Steele also of
the United States, who won the Cana
dian championship at The Stampede,
Calgary, Alta, also last year.
Charles Il. Irwin, manager of the
show, has had charge of the Cheyenne
celebration for seventeen years. He
also is famed as cowboy, having won
the worlds championship as roper at
the Cheyenne Frontier Days "round
up" by roping and tieing steer in IS
seconds.
High Educational Value.
1t is worth beyond measure that
citizens of the entire country may
have first hand knowledge of the
characters and methods that have fig
ured in the development of the great
west, with its boundless territory and
untold wealth. Grandfather and
grandchildren will be interested and
amused.
! Books have done much to spread this
knowledge. All have read of the days
OF Custer, Miles, Crook, Kearney,
Buffalo Bill, Wild Bill, Texas Jack,
| Chiefs Geronimo, Sitting Bull and
Rain-in-the-Face; also of the raising
