the circle OF the tents, getting ac-
Quainted. They were preparing din

CRATES. We took seats in the grand
stand. seating 10000, all seats fill
ed. The Fourth Cavalry band,
greatest in the country, circled and
counter-circled to music, each horse
stepping without fail, to perfect
time, as the rider played. One by
one the chutes opened, until "a
broncos were ridden, or threw their
riders. Long before the last bronco
was released, timid fasteners were
satisfied. Three riders were taken
to the hospital unconscious, in am
balances, and others were led or car
ried OF the field. Moses Two Bull,
nephew Of Sitting Bull, was report
ed dead. In early morning, sought
more accurate news. At the hospital
he had watched his chance, reached
for the whiskey, drank it all, and
was gone like shot, and was now
on the street!
Riderless horses were followed
with lasso and at last reached the
milling herd. @Bull-dogging, or steer
wrestling, requires two men on
horseback, going at full speed, one
one each side of the frantic steer.
One falls on the steers neck, grasps
the horns, twisting them until the
steer rolls on the ground. Nearly
all the steers got away, and the
crowd seemed glad that they did.
They claimed steer could kick the
rider in the back, even when firmly
seated on the steer which of course
is sheer poetic license. / thought it
a lie and no sense. A bull fight in
Mexico is tragedy, but steer fight
is comedy, the men getting usually
the worst of it,. If an Indian gets
the money he always divides with
the rest of the crowd. So there is
much valor and little money for the
heroes. To rope and tie calf SEEM

In the wild horse race, pale al
binos, looking wild indeed, horses
from the wild herd, never before
caught, are used. They do not race,
but just circle around. Very few
every reach any goal, unless stam-
peded. In general, / feel that this
is just another way of exploiting

domesticated Indians for gain, they

MEMORIAL

written in sad but loving remem-
Ncance of our dear husband and
father, Rev. M. c. Powers, who de-
parted this life one year ago today,
July 14)
Darling husband, you have left us.
Left this world of worry and pain
Earth has lost a treasure
Heaven precious jewel has gained.
We miss your kind sweet voice
And your gentle footsteps;
We miss your dear, sweet face
Oh! sweet daddy, we miss you
around every place.
A better husband and daddy, God
never made
A wonderful, worker so loyal and
true.
One in a million that was you.
Loved by your friends and all you
knew,
Wonderful husband and daddy, that
was you.
We mourn for you in silence
No eyes can see us weep.
Many silent tear is shed
While others are asleep.
Some may think we have forgot
ten you, dear husband and daddy.
When at times they see us smile.
But they little know the sorrow
that lies behind our smiles.
It is sweet to breathe your name on
earth.
We loved you dearly-in death, we
do the same.
Never shall we cease to love you,
Never shall your memory fade
sweetest thoughts,
Forever linger around your sweet
and silent grave.
The golden gates were opened wide,
The gentle voice said come
An angel from the other side
Welcomed our loved one home.
May we all meet our sweet hus-
band and daddy
Where friends no more shall weep,
For those who die in Jesus,
Their death is only sleep.
BY HIS WIFE and CHILDREN.

 IN APPRECIATION
Accused Admits Guilty, Given Fine of $25, Costs
 in Police Court

Admitting that he yielded bread knife during an argument in a South Main street tavern last night, Ernest Dessereault, 32, of 66 Grand street, was fined $25 and costs by Judge John F. McGrath in city court today. The fine was imposed on a breach of peace charge, the court substituting that charge for one of assault with a dangerous weapon. Unable to pay the fine, and costs of $16.44, Dessereault went to New Haven county Jail.
 Maurice Flaherty, A, of A Cottage place, was wounded in the arm when struck with the knife. He tes- tifled that he and John Calvin, 31, of SOP North Main street, were talk ing at the bar when Dessereault broke in on the conversation. An arr gument followed, he said, and Des- sereault drew the knife.
 Patrolmen Edward Hayes and John Winston arrested DeSSereault after diSarming him. They also ar- rested Flaherty and Calvin, charg- ing both with intoxication. The lat ter two were given suspended sen- tences.
 Dessereault said that he had bag of groceries at the time, and had borrowed the knife to cut some bread. Flaherty and Calvin picked an argument with him, he said, and a fight followed.
 "That's too dangerous weapon for any one to be carrying around, said Judge McGrath in imposing the 1 fine.

 Excellent Opportunities
 In their new home the Geghar Motor Company will be in even a better position than ever to serve their patrons well and faithfully. Joseph P. Geghan, president, at the present time is conducting gigan- tic used car sale, prices on their en- tire stock of used cars have been cut to the bone, because the com pany is anxious to move into their new home without a single used car on their inventory sheets.

The sale opened last evening at their present address on West Main street and already many of the used models have found new homes.
