Sans great out-of-doors, the prairie
nd mountain regions west of the
Mississippi from the days of 40 to
the present, will be presented free
absolutely free-for all patrons OF
the Badger state exposition at State
Fair Park, Milwaukee, this year, Sep
TENDER 8 to IL The board of agri-
culture desires 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 de.ys of the fair
Entertained Roosevelt.
The round up is exactly the same
as entertained former President
Roosevelt twice and former Presi-
dent Taft at Cheyenne, Wyoming
Wisconsin people and all patrons OF
the state fair will be favored beyond
Roosevelt and Taft in that the great
home coming for prairie, ranch and
mountain will como to them instead
of demanding that they make spe-
cial trip into the far west.
Cowboys, cowgirls and Indians,
numbering ESQ, will come with the
great cavalcade. Every broncho bus
ter, man or woman, and every In
dian, has q record, some of them
having provided sensations by their
deeds of daring and skill for more
than a quarter of a century. They
Will bring the realism of the wild
frontier into Wisconsin, with their
wonderful horsemanship, iassoing
and bull-dogging of vicious steers,
and remarkable skill with rifle and
pistol. The Sioux Indians Will por-
tray the wild and picturesque life
of the Redskins, in peace, in the hunt
and on the warpath Several 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
trained for use because no man has
been able to accomplish the hazard
Gus 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 entertain
ment of state fair patrons. Among
those uncomfortable beasts are Old
Steamboat, Teddy Roosevelt and
Blizzard, we'll known for years al
all the round ups in tho west.
Drive Buffaloes in harness.
Among the features of interest will
be the only pair of buffalo bulls evel
trained to drive double in harness
These two animals are as wild as any
others of their species,
Animal trainers says that it is more
difficult to train the buffalo than the
vicious moose.
