Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - July 22, 1891, Winnipeg, Manitoba Manitoba daily free press. Winnipeg. July 22 fild in Iii finest. Story of a circus feud be tween indians and cowboys. An exhibition that wag too realistic. Frightful loss of life from a quarrel Lyhl Cli was senseless and Indian shows of not draw. It is Only n few years since the Success of wild West show of the Well known Buffalo Bill a a aggregation whose talented act vere hardly More familiar to the democratic populace of America than to the Tot Crins crowned Heads of had raised m Home a score of imitators. Every aunty fair which was a fair followed up its horse racing snaps by a terrific discharge of Blank cartridges in which the Pursuit red devils of the untamed , the Fleo Emigrant outfit and the rescuing scouts or cowboys infested the smoke of Battle. Every Cir us which was a circus rounded up its entertainment with a similar exhibition. Public taste clamoured for these excitations. Among others who thought they knew their business As men whose Trade it was to note the general pulse and prescribe accordingly were the Brothers Sells. Three years ago they had an Indian and a cow boy outfit which professed to take water from of opposition. Their indians were the genuine Indian article and their cow boys had been specially imported from the lands where cowboys Are epidemic. Their Stock of cartridges Wasi immense sad the amount of noise and smoke they co Aid create when an appreciative audience looked on in wonder was something quite out of sight. Wherever they went they conquered. The summer drifted on and one night a Uii heat weather found the Sells Bros and their circus their cowboys and their indians in the Little City of Clin ton la. Twelve thousand people turned out that night to see the circus and wit Ness the heroic Cowboy scouts Rescue the Emigrant Maiden from the clutches of Tho Savage. Your Indian is a Man of. Serious views. Tour Cowboy in t. The latter hits notions which Are mixed up with practical jokes and bursts of sardonic humor. Some of this sort of thing is too High for the Indian mentality. The Indian does not wholly grasp it and when he does he fails to like it. This was no mimic Battle. In the Sells Bros show the rampant Cowboy spirit risen to the fact that the Indian was fair Gamo for its exuberance. When an Indian became owner of a Cigar or a Ping of tobacco upon the Rialto of life within the ring Cowboy fingers snapped it from Bis Possession. When an Indian presumed to take the air on horseback cow boy lariats were Apt to play him. Tricks. The cowboys reviled his Blanket costumes the cowboys made Light of Many his peculiarities. Bad blood thick ened apace. Some Indian ears had been pinched and some Indian faces had been ostentatiously slapped by the truculent sex herders. There were Neutts rings a brew when the show ranches Clinton. One word that rankled in the Indian bosom was cow the Indian bosom determined to vindicate its intrepidity. Very quietly the indians loaded their Winchester with real instead of mock cartridges and As quietly pm word to their hereditary foes that the Battle of the afternoon would not be a Sham one. This pleased the there was no soul among them with sense of Grace enough to deny the Challenge or inform the management that there awaited the most singular and foolish and Crimi Nal Duel Ever fought at Tho expense of in Nocent blood. They loaded their own repeating rifles with Ball As Well As powder and coolly waited. When the Bell tapped for the wild West scene then the most extraordinary conflict witnessed since Nero looked upon the gladiatorial steel. The seats were packed with eager spectators. All the country Side had come out to see. In the usual fashion Tho mimic Chase occurred. The capture followed. After that the res Cue. The cowboys charged the indians fled. But real bullets flew. Hang ing upon their horses flanks with Only one hand and thigh exposed the combat ants circled around the Chariot Way exchanging dead y volleys. Suddenly a panic seized the great audience. Here a Man fell dead pierced by a Ball. Teee1ble Slaughter. There another bled and Here again an other fell Anil yet another still until the great tent became a mass of terrified he a Ait struggling for escape scarce know ing what had occurred unthinking Despe ate for exit. Team licence poured out As it might into the exterior darkness. The rifles had been eat pied and the Din of exploding powder 20 Jonter added confusion to the tumultuous cries of tha Hurt. Manager Barrett s stand eager in inquiry Learned almost before he heard the last Echo of a win Chester what had taken place. No Para Piniaha of any show on Earth Ever Dis appeared is did that one of Sells Bros. Before the sex Ted citizens of Clinton really new what Liau occurred the whole circus and been bundled upon the waiting a dad a meet train was speeding fast for Tho timers of the state with orders not to Pip until Tho Frontier had been crossed. Barrett himself alone remained behind my with him he had in Cash. Four persons in that audience were filled outright by this Folly. Two of them women and the body of one of these found beneath the seats with a baby ill clinging to a pulse less breast. There eleven wounded ones among the spectators. Three ponies were killed. A mafia of the combatants were shot in the Kimii or . One Indian lost an ear and is Cov boy received a Bullet in the jaw. Keenness and his stood Bros in great Stead. He talked mys Teion sly bluffed bought paid in Denni and finally hushed up the truth. Aen he was through his Money was All Hue the facts were hidden. No one that a terrible Accident for which no was morally responsible had taken few know it today. The truth secured publication and the press sports of the time dwelt Only upon the silts of a mistake of the Cartridge keeper. This is the authentic account of the which lie behind Sells Eros refusal a wild West adjunct to their preset City times. Soap.
