WILD WEST COMING
WITH MODERN COWBOY
Roping Feats and Daredevil Riding
Were Never Equaled by
Predecessors.

Arrangements have been completed for
two performances of the famous 10l
Ranch Wild West show in this city, Mon
day and Tuesday, May and 6. Although
comparatively new organization, the
101 Ranch show already has attracted
a great deal of favorable comment While
old plain life is illustrated in picturesque
and often thrilling dramatic way. atten-
ton is given to life on one OF the great
bonanza ranches Of today.
There is a romance about the old days
on the plains that can never be de-
stroyed; but, after all. the modern cow
boy, although lacking in the generous
numbers that characterized the old days,
is cleverer than the cowboy of twenty
years ago. There are roping feats that.
a few years ago, would have been con-
sldered outside the range of feasibility.
There are tricks of riding and reckless
disregard of life and limb that have
never before been equaled. All this. II
is announced, is illustrated in the per-
formances of the 101 Ranch Wild West
in a way that gives the ehow distinct
individuality.
The 1O1 Ranch Wild West engagement
will be preceded at 1890 o'clock in the
morning by what is described as one of
the most picturesque street displays ever
seen in this city. The parade will be over
a mile in length. Hundreds Of cowboys,
cowgirls. Indians, Mexicans, and Cos
sacks will be in line.
