Pekin, .Sept. 14. Furious fighting
on the walls of Cheng Tuju is report
ed today. About two thousand
loyal Chinese troops repulsed a series
of assaults by the rebels from posi
tions on the walls. Hundreds of
American and British missionaries
are refugees within the city and it
is feared that lives are endangered,
unless the troops can hold out until
reinforcements arrive.
The Canadian Methodist compound
within the city has open spaces
around its own walls. It is believed
that the foreigners have taken refuge
within this compound, which is con
sidered the strongest and most easily
defended.

! began promptly at 1:30 o'clock thia
laf'-'mo m and from 'hat moni-nt on,
the time was f.lied w.th speet icular,
thrilling, perilous features, performed
by man and beast, with the former
matching skill and strength against
tlie fierce, untamed and infernal na
ture of the latter.
Lined up across the track, direct
ly in front of and facinig the grand
stand, hundreds of gorgeously garbed
and superbly moun'cd cowgirls and
cowboys faced the massive audience,
retiring nt the beginning of the show
to various places around the Round
Up park, in order that the series of
battles between horse and man, and
man and bovine, and wild west ex
hibitions might be staged.
Just back of the line of mounted
performers the Indian village adds a
dee'ded color to the frontier effect of
the greatest reproduction of the West
that was that has ever been attempt
ed. Before the show was well under
wav. Governor Oswald West, mount-
1 ed a charger on which the Hamley
' saddle, first prize in the wild horse
race, was being exhibited and rode
around the arena, acknowledging the
outbursts of the spectators.
In an exhibition of Steer roping,
Buffalo Vernon roped and tied his
animal In 1 minute, 12 1-2 seconds.
Fancy roping by a dozen masters oi
the lariat, drew from the crowds a
vast outburst of appreciation.
The three contestants In the bul!
dogging contest had a continual rounJ
of ill-luck when they entered Into
the'r came, and little was accomplish'
ed The first to attempt to throw a
steer by inserting his teeth In the Hp
of the animal, was Glenn Cox. The
teer jumped the fence and Cix fol
lowed, but failed to throw the ani
mal. Dell B'.anchette made H
spectacular capture of his animal, dl-
rectlv in front of the grandstand, but
failed to throw the animal and himself
susta'ned an ugly gash on the face, in
flicted by the maddened steer. Buf
falo Vernon had the same luek r.3 did
the first man, the animal he was to
have "bull-dogged" aso leap:ng the
fence. Just as he hud taken hold.
Thrilling riding exhibition- were
given by Jason Stanley, brother of the
great Dick Stanley, and also Dell
Rlanehette. each performing perilout"
feats on the backs of the.r monntt,
and winning loud applause.
Mrs. Dell Blanchette, champion
woman hrcneho buster of the wor'd,
rode a vicious animal, until she had
conquered It nnd was wildly cheered.
The grand parade. In which nearly
three hundred cowgirls anil cow-hoys
and fi'ty Indians galloped about the
