upon In advance, but In the general
era OF good feeling which prevailed
ON that day the foemen fraternized

A horseback race across the con.

plan OF Henry o. Weber, OF Cody,
Wyoming.
The race, for which Weber claims
he has already enlisted half dozen
horsemen OF the plains, is to be en-
tirely for glory. No rewards are to
be offered, and the ride must be
made with the original mount.
The early part Of March will wit
ness the start from here II Webber's
plan materializes.
Il want to prove that such a ride
can be made" explained Weber, who
used to ride his so miles q day I'm the

furthermore, that II can be done on q

"The boys who will ride will have

the local humane officer, and give his
mount at least 10 hours rest.

so miles a day, and can complete the
2 100 miles In from nine TO 10 weeks.
