Beveridge’* Wildest West.* Beveridge’s Montana Wildest West, which is booked to most originally amaze and amuse thousands at Decatur on June 6, is from all accounts, and the high official documentary evidence with which its claims are fortified, by all odds the most extensive and extraordinary exhibition that has ever visited this section. The four hundred savage Cree refugees from Canada, which it absolutely controls and has been organized to specially provide for, are the only Iudiaus subject to no governmental control and are their own masters. They are no pretty effeminate squad, permitted to leave their reservation under re strictions, but as free, fearless and uncivilized as when they took part in the Riel outbreak. More numerous than all the Indians in all the so called Wild West shows combined, they arealso their unconquered superiors, both in physical attributes and unregenerated baibarism. Evidently then their reproductions of equestrian battles, savage sports, ceremonies, customs and nomadic home life must be proportionately grander and more realistic and thrilling, and they are. They populate a village of fifty wigwams, and fill a stupendous, real border arena with the very wildest aud most unique of sensations. And this essentially great, educational ar d attractive entertainment is backed by a regiment of rough riders, lariat experts, a cowboy camp, a $10,000 challenge congress of crack shots,led by the worlds-famous Capt. A. H. Bogardus; the champion Abdal-lah Arab troupe; the most noted heroines of mid air gymnastics, and a big border hippodrome, presenting an unparalleled programme of pageants and races, in which over four hundred persons and as many horses participate. Still another exclusive feature is the famous Belgrade Bucking Bull, and if any of our readers can ride him they willpocket the snug sum of $200.The Wildest Westmoriiingpublie parade is a monster pageant of far frontier life, such as civilization has never before seeu and a free illustration of the resources of a most stupendous, singular and meritorious enterprise.“Coi“Thindepewe ghoof theforefatpendeiselvesgovernpeopleprospeed byEuropco edit of con right, say: 4 good,itatlisa there claim policy quest; of Eu d i ffere condit ments same j there i Where edy. of coa adopt he rep and rioceancausepolicy4lt;It mito adoiThe ai hard 1 Thecracie. people trol c’ hewer the til out an peoph nest aj We h; giviolt; tablis the re one o which enricl then :rope a peoph
