r
diaries 1J. Irwin, Manager of Irwin
Jack Morrissey, with Irwin Eros.
Real Wild West Show, champion
whip cracker of Australia and bron
cho buster. Is a marvel as a horse
trainer. While the show was In win
ter quarters in Cheyenne, in less
than 4 8 hours, he subdued an Ore
gon broncho, trained him to stand
while he crawled between his legs,
and step over him as he laid on the
ground. Morriseoy was also able to
ride him without Baddle or bridle
and guided him by tapping him on
either side of the neck with a whip.
Morrissey will be seen on this horse
in the performances In this city.
They re on the way, boys from
Old Cheyenne. The Irwin Brothers'
Real Wild West show with the great
est aggregation of riders and ropers
in the world will arrive in Alliance
early on the morning of June 18, in
30 double length cars, with 300 peo
ple, 200 horses, a score of Texas
feteers, wild mules and trained buf
falo and a full score of other attrac
tions. For its 1914 tour, the Irwin Bro
thers have gathered about them a
galaxy of stars at the riding and
raping world, such as never seen be
fore in one attraction. There are
prize winners from the California
Rodeo, the Canadian Stampedes of
Celgary and Winnipeg, the Pendle
ton Round-Up and the Frontier Days
of Cheyenne.
The days of the fast fading fron
tier as shown to the world in the
novels of Owen Wister and Frank H.
Spearman and the pictures of Rus
sell and Remington, are actually
brought before the spectator, In a
startling realistic manner. The life
of the cowboy and tke cowgirl and
the existence of the early day pion
eer are truly depicted. In its truth
fulnois is found the real value of the
Irwin Brothers Real Wild Weit
show. It Is unlike any other in the
world.
The big arena easily accommodat
es the scores of performers in their
daring western feats. It is no three
rixg affair with a cut and dried per
formance. The whole movement of
the show is as breezy and as full of
action and thrills as the country it
comes from. It is a wild west show,
par excellence.
The Irwin Brothers, raised as cow
men and owners of the famous Y-6
ranch In Wyoming, know the life of
the cattle range in all Its varied sha
dings. They have lived it all their
lives and they are for that reason
specially fitted to reproduce it be
fore the public. That cattlemen
themselves pronounce the show the
greatest ever is one of its best rec
ommendations. With the show this year are: Bee-Ho-Gray,
champion trick roper of
the world and winner of the $2000
cash prize at the Winnipeg Stampede
in 1913; Hazel Moran, champion la
dy trick roper of the world; Hugh
Clark, chief of the cowboys and
twice champion broncho buster and
steer roper at Cheyenne Frontier
Days; Frank Malsh, holder of World
record for bulldogglng, 54 seconds;

Bros. Heal WUd West Show
Jack Morrissey, champion whip

ia, cracks aBhes from cigars and cig
arettes Ijrith a forty foot bull whip

champion trick rider and roper of
Montana: Floyd Irwin, trick rider

champion juvenile roper of Mexico;
Indian attack on stage coach and
wagon train; cowboy and cowgirls
mounted quadrille; wild bucking
mules; and "bronchs" that have nev
er been successfully ridden.
The youthful experiences of Bee-Hp-Gray,
champion trick roper of
the world and one of the stars with
the Irwin Brothers Wild West show,
would make excellent material for a
story in this matter of fact day and
age.
Gray when a youngster of four
was stolen by Comanche Indians
and until he reached the age of sev
en .he was brought up as a member
of Chief Quonah , Parker's baad.
From dally association, he learned
their habits and language and above
all, he learned to ride and to rope.
Although but a mere tot, his ability
In this respect was plainly evident.
The Comanches In those days were
known a the best' and the most
fearless riders of the plains. Never
theless, he not only held his owa
with his Indian companions but ex
celled them, both in the saddle and
with the rope.
When stolen by the Comanches,
he was given the name of Bee-Ho,
meaning In their tongue "Cripple's
brother." Gray has a brother, who
is crippled and who rides with a
crutch. This name has clung to him.
At the age of seven, Bee-Ho was
returned to the care of the whites.
He made hjs own way, however, even
at that tender age and while acquir
ing a common school education, did
yeoman service on the range with
the cow bands.
His aptness with the rope he turn
ed to good account and by constant
practice he was soon known as a
marvel in the Indian territory.
His work attracted the attention
of managers and for several years be
starred with Colonel Cody, the 101
Ranch and with Pawnee Bill. At the
Stampede in Winnipeg, in 1913,
competing with the best, he won the
$2000 cash prize and the title of
Champion of the World.
Gray Is the only man who throws
three ropes at the same time. In
this feat he shows his marvelous
dexterity. Standing on the gronnd
and with horse and rider coming at
full gallop, be catches the horse a
bout the neck, about the four feet,
and the rider about the body.
