A GREAT SUCCESS.

!i*h

The Wild West Here and a Great Show It is.

EVERYTHING 6IVEN AS ADVERTISED AND MORE.

A Description of Yesterday's Entertainment—A Moral Show, Worth the Money —A Sketch of Blueoloud, a Participant in the Caster Kassaore.

The "Wild West" is here,and a treat it is for the people. The parade on the principal Btreets yesterday forenoon was good, and represented the show as it really is, presenting nothing flashy to catch the people. The crowd in attendance at the entertainment at the fair grounds was creditable, but not so large as it will be to-day and to-mor-row. The show is superior to circuses, presenting something new and fresh— something entertaining. The entertainment is given just as advertised, and more, the Doctor evidently believing in giving good measure. At the grounds the first on the programme was

THE GRAND PARADE,

with the celebrated stag# coach, Texas steers, cow boys, Indians, and the Doctor in line. The parade showed better than on the streets. Then came

THE PONY RACE,

between Indians, representing four tribes, Winnebagos, Pawnees, Sioux and Omahas. It was a spirited race, and caused much merriment,

THE PONY EXPRESS

came next, showing how the mail was carried from the Missouri river to the Pacific coast before railroads were constructed across the mountains. A rider was compelled to go one hundred miles before resting, and he exchanged horses every ten miles. Yesterday the mail carrier came dashing down the race track, was off his horse and away with the mail pouch in a few seconds.

THE ATTACK ON THE STAGE COACH

This is the most thrilling scene on or off the

Btage.

It represents the at

tack on the Deadwood stage coach in 1876 by the Blue Sioux. This coach has a history. It was run for years as a treasure coach between Ohey enne and Deadwood. On its first trip the driver, John Slaughter, was killed by a man named McKinney McKinney escaped, but was afterwards captured and is now serving a term in the Penitentiary at Columbus, Ohio. In the attack there were eleven passenters, ten of whom were killed, Colonel Wilson being the only one who escaped. He was knocked in the head and left for dead. When the Indians were finishing their bloody work the cow boys appeared on the scene, and a bloody fight took place, the cow boys being victorious. The attack and the fight between the Indians and the cow boys as represented yesterday was as real as it ever can be made, and is carried out according to the story of Colonel Wilson. The participants yesterday were greeted with loud cheers and waving of hats.

A SPIRITED FOOT RACE.

Following the attack upon the stage coach was a race between an Indian on foot and one on a Siox pony, in which the Indian on foot came out ahead. This Indian is

said

to be the

fastest Indian runner in America. His running yesterday was certainly marvelous.

CARVER'S SHOOTING.

Dr. Carver, the champion shot of the world, next gave an exhibition of his shooting. It made many of the Terre Haute marksmen, who were in attendance, open their eyes. He took his shot-gun and broke brickbat after brickbat when thrown in the air by a cowboy. His shooting was so rapid, and bis aim so true, that the air was filled with flying pieces. One would hardly think that an orange would entirely disappear when struck with'a charge of shot. It is true, and Dr. Carver proved it yesterday. More than a dozen oranges were thrown in the air, and the doctor peppered them so successfully that only a thin mist remained. Then came glass ball shooting. The balls were thrown high in the air and they came down shattered glass. He made several beautiful double shots. Two balls were thrown in the air, and he broke both of them before they reached the earth. The attendant then threw the balls in the air in rapid succession, and the doctor loaded and fired and then loaded and fired again, breaking them as fast as thrown. The doctor then mounted a spirited horse, and on a dead run made several double shots. A silver dollar was thrown in the air, and the doctor pierced it with a rifle bullet. Then a nickle was thrown up, and it sustained alike fate. Such shooting as the doctor does is witnessed only once in a lifetime. It is entertaining, and shows what remarkable skill can be at tained with the shot-gun and rifle. He has shot before many dignitaries of Europe. He gave an exhibition before the Emperor of Germany, the Crown Prince, and many German noblemen and German soldiers. His Bhooting has astonished the world, and he has justly earned the fame of being the champion shot of the woald. When he announced that he could take a rifle and shoot a hole through a dime thrown in the air, he was laughed at, and scientific gentlemen said that the bullet would drive the dime before it, but Carver convinced them of their mistake. He has awakened greater interest in markmanship than any man living.

THE COW BOYS* RACE.

This was interesting, and was as good as a genuine horse race. Four cow boys came down the track at a rate that would astonish many owners of thoroughbreds. It will be repeated to-day and to-morrow and should be witnessed as an appetizer of the horse races that come off next week.

A RACE BETWEEN RACES.

A young Indian and negro were mounted on Mexican burros. These animals resembles donkeys. They are used in Mexico as pack animals. In the days of Pike's Peak, hundreds of miners could be seen crossing the plains and mountains with their earthly possessions packed on a burro. The race yesterday caused considerable merriment. The

burroB

trotted off

leisurely, and came down the home stretch in about twenty minutes, with the negro ahead. The doctor announced that the colored race was ahead.

MEXICAN BOY8 ON ELKS.

The doctor has two elks which he has trained. Two Mexican boys were mounted on them, and the elks went off "a-buckin'" and "a-chargin'." The boys stuck on,although the elks nearly turned themselves double. These are the only elkB ever trained and used for riding purposes. The doctor also has

aaother elk that will soon have a little elk trotting at its side. He sets great store by tlus animal, and treats it tenderly.

AN INDIAN WAR DANCE.

All have read about Indian war dances. The doctor's Indians give a vivid representation of one. Two seat themselves by an Indian dram, and beat on it, while they shout their war song. The other Indians join in, going through their horrible gesticulations and contortions. A small papoose joins in, seeming to enjoy the fun.

BUCKING PONIES.

The cow boys give a vivid exhibition of riding Mexican ponieB that are yet unbroken. Such buckiDg and holding on was never witnessed before on the fairgrounds. The riders hung on as though they were grown

DEATH OF THE OLD TRAPPER.

Sam Cherry was an old trapper. In his wanderings one day on the plains he became weary and picketed his horse and lay down upon the grass and went to sleep. He had looked carefully around, and could see no Indians, and for days had seen no signs of any. As he slumbered, with his horse grazing near him, and the grass waving in deep green billows around him, a war party came in sight, and seeing his horse, rode quietly near. Thiy circled around him, drawing nearer and nearer, the young bucks, who are always eager for a scalp, being eager for the affray. One shoots, and awakenB the old trapper, who with his trust' rifle and revolvers, defends himself The battle was bloody, but the brave old fellow was killed, and scalped by a young brave. Just as they finish, the cow boys, who hear the firing, come to the rescue. They are too late to save the old trapper, but they wreak a terrible vengeance. A battle takes place, and many Indians are killed and scalped. A cow boy dismounts and throws the body of the trapper across his horse and rides away. This fight was exhibited yesterday, even down to the renegade who leads the Indians in their fight. The hand to hand en counters were there, and all was as plain as though it was real. When the Indians rode around the old trap per as he lay in the grass asleep, the audience was as still as death. But the battle was inspiring, and when the boys won their victory they were load' ly cheered.

CHIEF GREEN CLOUD.

This celebrated chief is with the doc tor's party. He has a history, bloody but interesting. Green Cloud, when young,married a Teton Sioux squaw. He was a "dog soldier" under Little Crow He was one of the leading spirits of the massacre of 1862. Little Crow was big chief, and went with his party to New Ulm. He was with the party that entered the town, and fired the first shot. This was the begining of a massacre in which more than 1,000 people were killed. Green Cloud's brother and thirty-eight other Indians were captured and hung, Green

DR. CARVER.

Dr. Carver has a wonderful history When only four years old his parents were killed at Spirit Lake, Minn., and he was carried off by the Sioux. He was kicked and whipped by the Indians, until he became large enough to take his own part. An Express reporter met the doctor at the Terre Haute house last evening, and he related the many of his adventures among them. "How did you secure your title of doctor?" asked the reporter. "When I was about sixteen I went with a band of young Teton Sioux bucks on a horse stealing expedition among the Chippewas. We expected to surprise them, but they surprised us, and a hard fight took place. The enemy was led by an chief named 'WhriliDg Tomahawk.' He could throw a tomahawk twenty-five yards and split a man's skull. I selected him and shot at him with an old muzzle loader, aim ing at his abdomen. Instead of hitting him there the bullet took effect in his neck, and killed him. This gave me a great reputation amoi.tr the Indians, and they elected me Medicine Chief. I was always lucky and a good shot. On account of this the Indians thought I was in league with the evil one, and I got the name of the "Evil Spirit of the Plains." After I left the Indians and went among white people some one said one day, 'Here comes Dock,' and from that day to this it has always stuck to me. I know very little about medicine."

He then related other adventuies, one in which he shot an Indian through the leg with an arrow for slapping him. One time he went hunting and shot a deer through the body. (The Indians think a deer must be Bhot through the neck to be worth anything.) "I hung the deer up, and during the winter would go out and eat a meal occasionally from my deer. One day an Indinn, a mean old fellow, followed me and found my deer and carried it into camp. When I retnrned the Indians were all up in arms, and in the melee wounded one so badly that he died. The Indians captured several white women, and one night I helped one of them to escape, and was wounded in the affray and came near dying." When he recovered he told the Indians that the Great Spirit came to him and toldhim he was a white man, and for him to help his case oat of trouble. The Indians told him the next time the Great Spirit come to him he must bring Him to them and tbey would hear what He had to Bay.

LASSOING AND RIDING TEXAS STTERS.

The steers were driven on the open space in front of the grand stand, and lassoed by the cow boys. Ropes were tied around them, and the cow boys mounted. The steers bucked worse than the ponies, but the boys stuck on. One steer broke away with a lasso around its neck, and went on a dead run around the field, but a cow boy followed on horseback, and with a grace ful reach caught the rope as it trailed on the ground, and brought the steer back to the track.

Cloud escaped and joined Spot

ted Tail and Red Cloud. He remained with Red Cloud until Sitting Bull began to organize his expedition. He was a leading spirit in this. In fact he was one of Sitting Bull's "solid men." He was in the Custer massacre: and was with Rain-in-the-Face when Custer was killed. Rain-in-the Face is credited by many with having fired the shot that killed Custer, but many think that Green Cloud killed him. In Michigan, at Custer's home, they came very near mobbing him. After the death of Custer he participated in the scalp and death dances.

GATION.

Lsr|* Meeting to Oppose HI* Call to Rome.

There was a very enthusiastic meeting of St Joseph's congregation held in the Sisters' Academy hall, last evening. Mr. P. B. O'Rielley was called to the chair, and Mr. John Fag&n was chosen secretary. Edward Osborne from the committee appointed at a previous meeting, reported that they had sent on a petition to the Rev. Provincial, signed by seven hundred. He said the committee had taken this action lest the provincial might send on the Rev. Father's obedienw, in which case it would be more flicult to have the order calling him to Rome rescinded. The action of .the ion mittee was, by motion, approved by triie meeting. It was then moved and seconded that the committee be instructed to telegraph the provincial for an answer, and if adverse to the retention of the Rev. Father McEvoy, this conimime is instructed to call the congregation to meet again, when a delegate will be chosen and

Bent

on to

Syracuse to plead the cause. Indianapolis Journal: The congregation of St. Joseph's Catholic church, of Terre Haute, will make a strong effort to retain Father McEvoy, who has been appointed English confessor at St. Peter's, Rome. The place at Rome is a sinecure, which is juBt what an active man like the father does not desire. It is not likely that he would be called on in his confessional at St. Peter's half a dozen times in a month by penitents.
