101 Ranch Wild West.

One of the most interesting person
alities with the 101 Ranch Wild West
Show which makes known Its lively
picturesqueness to the public next
Monday. Aug. %, is Joseph G. Miller,
president of the 1O1 Ranch, and asso-
ciated with his brothers, George and
lack in the ownership and manage
ment of the famous 100000 acre
ranch at Bliss, Oklahoma, from which
the show derives its name.
Joe Miller was ranchman for many
years before he introduced the 101
Ranch Wild West to the public. He
was born and brought up on ranch,
and his father was ranchman before
him. His first big cattle deal was
made when he was only % years of
age, and it netted him over $4,000.
1 He is an expert in handling men, as
4 we'll as cattle; he can handle a rifle
or shotgun like an old plainsman;
among all his cowboys there is none
who can surpass him in roping in a
4 wild steer in a roundup, and among
the Indians with the show his word ia
absolute law.
1 Mr.. Miller is white chief Of the
Ponca Indians, the greater part OF
whose former reservation is now in.
Guided in the Miller Brothers ranch
4 When the Poncas originally proffered
him the white chieftainship of the
tribe he declined.
i The Indians were determined, how
4 ever, and one night, when he was

; where night had overtaken him sew
eral miles from home, party of Pom

to their camp, and after going through
a series of weird ceremonies, durint
which the ranchman began to thinl

), chief of the tribe whether he desiret
|, the honor or not.
There was nothing to do but &C
, cept, and the ranchman contributed
. steer for the feast, and spent the da.
, with the Indians. Since that time HI
has been acknowledged white chief o
the tribe, and his dictum in all tn
affairs Of the Poncas is never ques
toned, even by their own Indial
chiefs.
There are number of Poncas wit
the 1O1 Ranch show, and, like tn
Sioux, who are largely represented
they make excellent show Indians
The Indian village is one of the mos
