 Chey's first steer fell with him, and then kicked him in the pistol pocket. He was given another steer later, and made a swell ride. The Indian show ed that his white brothers didn't have anything on him. The crowd got the biggest thrill from the exploits of Dillman's steer, which, mouth open tail a-flying, drove its big horns di- rect at a crowd of spectators, who scattered unanimously, and then the steer tried to clean up 25 or 30 mount ed Indians. He would have succeed ed, only they got away. His next maneuver was to pick out every horse tied to the corrals, and run under their tie straps, Dillman hanging on like grim death, flat on his back on the steers back, where he stayed until Jack Wade bulldogged the brute.
