Weston. Auk. 20. The threshing
crews that were compelled to lay off,

The haunting fear thnt has been
felt by the majority ofthe peoplo of
Weston, ever since tho robbery of tho
Frecwater saloon, was relieved for
a tlmo last night, when it was learned
that Marshal Lavender, Chnrles Cur
tis and George Reynolds had taken a
tearful leave of absenoo of their

bold robbers, but alas for the weak

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

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
