M Great Crowds of Visitors Throng the Streets to Witness the Big Parade and the Performance This After noon Is Well Attended. Pendleton is full to overflowing with visitors today, the farmers hav ing all knocked off harvesting ana come to the city to see Buffalo Bill's Wild West shows, and even the entire Indian population of the reservation, coming in to take in- the show. The big aggregation of rough riders arrived in the city early this morn ii'g and when an East Oregonian -reporter visited the show grounds a scene of Intense activity was present ed, hundreds of men running in all directions, raising canvas, pulling and hauling at ropes, and getting 'the big grounds in shape for the two per formances to be given, this after noon and evening. Men of All Nations. Cossacks, from Russia. Sioux Indi ans, English cavalry from South Af rica, dusky-skinned Bengal lancers, direct from the ''jungle book" coun try, roueh riders who served at San Juan, Cubans who fought In the war with Spain, Hussars from the German armv. Arabs in national costume. Mexican Vaqueroa, and men of many other nations, moved back and forth in preparation for the great paraae, while all over the grounds could be heard the gurgling notes of the big hand horns, the smooth sliding tone of the baritones, the squeal of the flies and clarionets, tne uanus Deims In practice to "warm up ror vne morning's work. . Many Sightseers. Tn and out anions: the hordes of workers wandered myriad sightseers, both white and redskins, getting in tho mad and out aeain with cheerful equinJmity and utter disregard of the warnings of the show aiiacnes. Tha hundred of horses Stood PS- Hontiv hv until suddenly a bugle sounded from somewhere, then the scene formerly one of bustle and en ergy became that of apparent contu sion. Everyone was rushing about In tho greatest excitement, yet each knew exactly where he was going, and In a few moments order appeared out of the chaos and tho parade was ready to start. The Parade. Another bugle call, the shrill squeal of the files, the rattle of drums, and the great procession was under way. First came a fife and drum corps o$ the United States army, followed by a carriage in which the head of the show, Colonel William Cody himself, rode. After the carriage a band of Brule Sioux, a squad of Gorman Hub sars, a brass band in the typical wag on, more Sloux, Cossacks In their queer costumes, English cavalry, which served in South Africa, a U. S life-saving corps with their parapher nalia, five Western gilrs riding with all the grace and abandon of true Westerners, a number of vaqueros from the plains of Mexico, a bunch of squaws in all their finery, then the crowning feature of the parado for most of the crowd, the cowboy band on horseback, a squad of American rough riders, a detachment of Cu bans, then a string of Bengal lancers, a band of Ogallala Sioux, Cody's his toric stage coach, a big crowd of typ ical cowboys, Winebago Sioux, an other band, a corps of American cav alry, and artillery to bring up tho rear. Everything Is Real. There Is a noticeable absence of the glitter and glare of the average circus parade about the Buffalo Bill exhibition, which might detract from the merit of the pageant in the mindH of the average child, woman or man, but when It is considered that in this show there Is no sham but that every thing is exactly what It Is represent ed to be, the truo educational value of the performance becomes appar ent. Instead of tired, gaudily-painted and attired riders representing knights of the medieval ages and per forming tricks and acts learned es peciallly for Bhow purposes, one sees with the Wild WeBt peoplo who are actually what they are represented to be, doing exactly what they did for a livelihood before entering the circus arena. Every person appear ing on horseback In tho parado Is guaranteed to he exactly what they are represented to be, no sham of any kind being perpetrated. Big Crowds Attend. This afternoon the huge show Is packed with pleased visitors to wit ness the deeds of horsemanship and daring which are being illustrated and it is expected that the evening performance will be even better pat- ronized The East Oregonian is requested by Mr. Cody (Buffalo Bill) to state that there will be no curtailment of the evening performance, hut that the show will bo given in its entirety. As this is probably the last oppor tunity the people of this section will have of viewing the Wild West, there will be few who will fall to take ad vantage of the chance offered.

A Few Fights and Drunks and an Ex citing Chase Occupied the Night Tho police say thoro wero more drunks and rowdyism In town last night than any ono night for several weeks. It is now becoming the time of year that many of tho harvest hands, who have worked in the Holds, are beginning to be paid off and aru coming to town to blow their monoy. Wliile u great many of thoso men are sober and Industrious, still a great many more ot them like drink and when they get a little overloaded are not capable of bohaving themselves and at once trouble Is started. Homo times the very best of friends fall out and fight and the next morning they face each other In police court and are fined for their fun. Two Drunks This morning. Two men, Jack Drown and Frank Lewis, were arrested last night and thrown Into Marshal Dlakley's hotel "do jug" where they remained until this morning when they were sobered up. They were taken before Judge McCourt, of the police court, and Brown was fined 5. Lewis was as sessed the same, but pending good behavior the fines were remitted and the men allowed to go their way. Two Fights. Two fights were Indulged In during the night. Charles Crowner was mixed In both. It seems that Crow ner became too well filled with fight- lng boozo and concluded that ho could "licli" anybody who got in his way. and flrcd two shots into tho ground Frank wus too muph for lilra and Crowner got considerably tho worst of the affair. They were arrested and each put up $10 bond to Insure their appuaranco In police court this morn ing. Karnheart'H ball money was re turned to him, The 8econd Fight. Later In tho night Crowner entered a saloon and becoming enraged at a man standing In tha placo, concluded to "wlpo til in off the faco of the earth." Instead of doing as he Intend ed tho tables wore turned and Crow nor onco moro got tho worst of the fight. Wliile this tight was In prog reBB, Officer Foo urrlvod on tho sceue and all of tho participants, three in number, ran. Feo gave lively chase man who did tho shooting. The trou to causu theni to stop, but tho fighters only ran faster, Threshing Machine Explosion. Walla Walla, Aug. 20.
