Dressed as a dude" OF b type that
has a genius for making a pest OF him
self. he played his part SO we'll tina
hf deceived oven those connected
with the show who we're not in on the
secret.
John Brooks, the conscientious gate
man, ~exasperated at his efforts to slip
through and out onto the track every
time he opened the gate a crack or
turned his head, finally threatened to
hit him with a hammer, to the great
glee of those who watched the by
play.

B. c. Rumsey, as chief OF police.
had instructions to see that no one
was in the arena except those on
horseback. After seeing his pallid
creature in the little straw hat crawl
through the fence and creep out to-
wards the centre with his Brownie
camera n ordering him back half
a dozen times, he took down his rope
and went after him in arnest. After
running him through the fence, hit
ting him at every jump, Mr.. Rumsey
came back with his eyes still gleam-
ing but with a look of satisfaction on
his face and it was not until then that
he earned he had been lambastins
the clown.

We think it will be admitted that
Lloyd Coleman was truthful when he
said he had as salty a collection of
bucking horses as vas ever seen at
any roundup, big or little. They were
the pick of the country between here
and Hardin. Montana They were so
salty. in fact. that when some of the
riders numbers were called they could
not be found.

Speaking of Lloyd Colemanreminds
us that If he had a dollar for every
snapshot that was made Of him he
would have no financial worry the rest
of his life. He was a. striking and
picturesque figure on his big white
horse and the best Of it is he is un
conscious of his good looks and III
spoiled by attention.
A very large part OF the success of
thO otdtARCut was Quc 10 Tie tuOTIS
of both Lloyd and George Coleman.
Always ~good-natured, l~evel-headed,
unselfish, nothing was too much trou-
BILE. For ourself we think that the
Stampede has found in the Coleman
boys" the ideal persons to handle the
Wild West end of it. Themselves the
best riders in the country, no one can
dispute the fact that they know what
they are talking about when they
make a statement.

The Indians had the time of their
lives, and said SO In fact, they stat
ed they would have been here on the
4th of July In spite of Powell's efforts
to detain them If they had not lost
their horses.
That they will be here next year is
a %foregone conclusion for they had
hay, frewood and beef furnished them
and went home happy with elk and
deer hides.
The thing that puzzled everybody
who was watching a how Bird-hat,
the old chief, started the Indian races.
So far as anyone could see he never
spoke or gave a signal yet the riders
seemed to know when 1t was a Ego"
and when to come back exactly as If
they had received some word or sign
from him.
The racing program was in charge
of John l.. Fowler with VIII Richard
as starter and there was much good
natured rivalry between them and
Lloyd Coleman as to which would get
their events of the fastest. The run
ming moved with unusual celer-
ity and smoothness and was quite de-
void of the jangling and ~ragtchewing
over starts and finishes which SO Of
ten happens.
The two during the three days
which brought the spectators up
standing was the close finish between
Red" owned by W. w. Hardy and
ridden by Joe Hardy and Miss Equal
ity, owned by d. d. Stall and ridden
by Lou Ericsson. They ran almost
neck and neck the entire distance but
Lou brought Miss Equality home a
winner BIZ about the width of a whis-
ker.
The match race between John Fow-
ler's horse Brownie" with Kermit
Erickson up and a horse belonging to
b. S. Groves, Jr., and ridden by Garlic
Downing was equally thrilling. Brow
ME" won but 1t was SO close he had
MT much to crow over and Garlic de-
clares that IL it had not been for the
heavy going he struck on the turn he
would have been the victor.
