THE CLEMENCEAU CASE

In the Clemehceau Case Dumas has
attained the capstone of his tower
ing genius. Of liza, the pantherish
heroine of this deathless drama, he
himself wrote: 81 shall never create
another such character though I
scribble till doomsday."
LAS sinister beauty and its fatal
effect on the lives of two noble men
form the main plot of "'The Clemen-
ceau Case" Pierre, her husband,
whom she casts off for Constantin
Ritz, she leaves with his career as a
talented sculptor blasted forever. In
turn she toys with the infatuated
Ritz, shattering his hopes, ambitions

the arena. It is a thrilling and dar-
ing feat, a fact which the crowd rec
ognlzed by their loud applause.
In the bareback bucking contest
Massey won first prize, a 500 saddle,
Woodall won second, a pair of silver
studded chaps, and Hauglan third, a
pair of silver mounted spurs. This
was one of the best events on the
program. It is indeed hard enough
to hold on to a bucking wild horse
with the aid of a saddle but it takes
rare skill to do it bareback. In this
race Woodall was thrown from his
horse and fell at his heels and every
moment it looked as though he would
be kicked to pieces, but his horse sud-
denly rushed forward, breaking down
the fence and vanished on the prairie.
saddle given as first prize in this
contest was made of hand carved
leather, one of the products of the
famous Sentinel Butte saddle COM
pany, that is making 5000 saddles
for the French government.
In the saddle bucking contest Joe
carroll won first, having tied with
Gardner and was given an elegant
$lOO saddle, Woodall second, a pair of
chaps, and Ed. Harmon third, a set of
silver mounted spurs. Joe Carroll is
but a youngster and the gritty work
OF the kid" as he was called, was ap-
preciated by the crowd who called on
hin for a speech, but all he said was
"thank you one and ALL"
The steer bulldoging. contest was
another thriller. The steer is driven
from the stockade, a cowboy rides
along its side, drops on it, and then
throws the steer by twisting it's neck
until he falls. Massey won this con-
test, succeeding in throwing his steer
in 90 seconds.
Coy won first prize in the cowboy
foot race and Massey first in the catch
saddle and start race.
In the steer roping contest, which
consists in roping and throwing the
steer and tying it's four feet, Nels
Nichols won first prize, a hundred dol
saddle, tying his steer in Sc Sec
onds, George Gardner won second
prize, a pair of chaps, his record be-
ing AZ seconds, and Massey third with
81 seconds. In this race the steers
frequently broke through the fence
and several times it looked as if they
would rush through the crowd. It
a highly successful and exciting
event and the speed records were
wonderful considering all that
a man had to do in a few seconds.
The committee in charge of the sue
celebration was composed of
Col. Bill mccarthy, arena director,
Walter j. Ray, V. E. Pehrsson, Ralph
R. Herring and E. Earl Mccullough.

the amounting shoot" and his horse
sped for the fence right at the end
of the field, dashing through the
strong wire and breaking off the i'm
mense posts like twigs. Off he went,
leaving his rider in the meshes of the
wire while the cowboys rode at break
neck speed over the prairie to catch
him and bring him back. These
events while not on the program,
were always expected, for no one ever
knows what a wild horse or a steer
is going to do. In fact they are
rather temperamental. Once the an
nouncer, Tom Vallancey, in a long
speech proclaimed an extra thrilling
feature. One of the cowboys was 60
ing to ride on a wild steer, backwards.
Everyone was awaiting the event in
tense expectation but the steer merely
ran out a few feet, and then stood
quietly, absolutely declining to do his
part in the expected thrill.
Great Program
After the introduction of the vari-
Gus contestants the participants were
led in a unique and elaborate maze
and then came a cowgirls choice
quadrille which was n of the pretti-
est events on the program.
In the wild horse race, the judges
selected a group of the widest horses
obtainable, none of them had ever
been ridden before, but we're taken
right off the plains. Each contestant
selected his horse from the group and
they were then brought on the field.
A rope with a slip knot was fixed
about their neck and as the horse
pulled away the rope gradually tight
ened until he checked and fell down
from lack of air. The cowboys then
quickly fastened a hackamore or rope
bride about him, blindfolded, saddled,
and at a word mounted and off they
went to the shrill yells of the watch
ing cowboys. The horses would some
times run several yards, and then
suddenly stop and buck vigorously
but they rarely threw a rider. In this
race Massey won first prize, a beau
tiful SIS saddle, Hauglan second and
Joe Carroll third.
Joe WoodalI then gave his famous
drunken ride which he has performed
for the moving pictures several times.

MEDORA HAD BIG
FRONTIER DAY
Continued from page l,

ARRAYS, horse stealing and cattle Kill
ling" 1t was the real frontier then,
and the celebration Saturday must
have brought back vivid recoliections
to the white bearded gentleman who
eagerly watched the 'boys" bulldog a
steer or ride a wild horse that had
never felt a saddle before.
It was in April. 1883, so Mr.. Folev
tells us, that the Marquis De Mores,
a splendid, tall, military looking son
OF France, first arrived in Medora.
He saw at once the possibilities in
this cattle country and he decided to
lay u a great ranch with a cold
storage plant and to hire cattlemen
from Texas and the Argentine to run
1t. The town was known as Pyramid
Park when he arrived, but he changed
the nam to Medora. after his bride,
Medora Won Hoffman of New York.
On a hill overlooking the city he
erected a great summer home (now
occupied by Sheriff Porter). and here
in those early days were held the
brilliant entertainments which the old
timers tell of W today. But now
the cold storage plant is all gone, ex-
cept the great, tall, dignifed CHM
ney, red as the buttes about it, and
the mansion on the hill. All during
the celebration the great house stood
silently looking down on it all, SEEM
ingly conscious of it's dignity, and
when the evening twilight came and
the shadows brought out the mysteri-
u ever-changing goblin figures on
the buttes, the old house gradually
faded into the darkness and one Won
dered if perhaps it was not prophetic
of a life that too was fading away
and an industry that must disappear
before the advance of the smaller
farm.
Royalty Founded Medora
But De Mores died in 1896 in an
African oasis called Ell Onadin, killed
by a tribe of T~ouaregs. His two sons
are today serving in the army of
France near the German border. In
1883 Sir John Pinder of Ireland came
to invest his fortune and the Duke of
Sutherland is said to have had a
ranch near here. Today the office of
De Mores is the store room of a mer-
chandise establishment, but the old
safe will never again see the great
pile of gold it used to protect every
night when the vast sums of money!
The Dickinson press., 1915-08-07

were kept safely there. Medora saw
perhaps it's last thrill in 1895, when
the citizens hung in effigy, in front
of the hotel, the jury which brought
in a verdict of mot guilty" in the
famous Wadsworth trial, in which
Governor Hammond of Minnesota
participated.
The Bad Lands Cowboy was the
name of the first paper and it was es-
tablished forty-two years ago by A.
T. Packard. Today it is known as
The Billings County Herald and is
under the able editorial direction of
Ralph R. Herring. In 1876 Custer
crossed four miles south of Medora,
on what is now known as the Custer
Trail ranch, owned by Col. "Bill" Nc
Carly, who was arena director at the
celebration. Just the other day, while
digging in front of the blacksmith
shop, they found the branding irons
which Roosevelt used, the elks horn
and the Maltese cross. Mr.. Roose-
welt was delighted at the discovery
and they will be sent to him this
week.
Thrilling Feats
The day opened with a splendid
parade, headed by the Beach band
and Col. Ed. Phillips of Terry, Mont,
who was marshall of the day, and
who directed the procession. Mr..
Phillips a for many years. with
Buffalo Bill and his experience was
in aiding the staging of so
large a celebration. He was followed
by Colonel McCarty, liking of cow
a giant nearly seven feet tall
and looking for all the world like
some great Mexican chief with his
gold embroidered hat and his silver
studded chaps. Then came the par
Elephants, all dressed in their best,
rejecting the colors of the rainbow,
forty-seven men and twenty-six lad
les, nearly all from Medora. The
ladies were splendid riders and as one
sitting on the fence near us,
observed, "They would sure drive the
Of a beauty contest crazy try
ing to pick the winner"
The committee had spent a great
deal of time in getting the grounds
ready. They had constructed a great
corral for the contests and the grand
stand was a sloping grassy plain,
while the gallery was a butte, the
great towering, white-faced walls of
the cliffs forming the background of
the unique e
Every event was a thriller. And
there were narrow escapes, too. In
fact on Friday two horses were killed
and one of the riders just escaped
death by the fraction of a second.

It required an enormous amount Of
work to arrange and carry or a cele-
bration of this kind and the various
membes n deserving Of the highest
praise for their successful efforts. It
is hoped that Frontier day may be-
come an annual affair, as famous per-
haps as that at Miles City or Shey-
enne. The judges were E. D. Peck
of Sully Springs, "Billy" Kennedy Of
South Heart and J. Songden Of Sen
tinel Butte. It was especially inter-
esting to note how the younger ele-
ment participated in the contest.
One, especially, Jack Neuens, who is
just II, gave one of the best rough
riding exhibits Of the day. Pinkey,
who claims no other name and dresses
accordingly, was another daring fav-
orite.
1t is now evening and the great
crowd is winding it's way down the
dark sandy road to the waiting train.
Slowly the shadows lengthen, the
buttes seem to be stranger and wilder
than ever, the fantastic outlines of
the higher cliffs stand out with start
ling c~learness while the lower deep
gorges are in black shadow. In the
distance one hears the shri1I yells of
the victorious cowboys fastening
home with their nriZes. The dav is
done, the contest is over, and with
the rhythmic echo of the hoof beats
and the steady metallic clanks of the
steel chains on the horses comes the
desire that more might know this

and seldom told about where "the
