FIRST MONEY FOR BERRY His Claim to the Big Purse Dooidod to Bo the Boat , AWARD OF THE PRIZES TO THE COWBOYS Protest * Overruled nnd the Pathfinder Ulren riftoen Hundred Dollnrii Charges ot Crooked Illdlnc to He Inreitl * Cntod Record * of the Horsoi. CtucAao , Juno DO. John Berry , the cowboy who was the first to arrive at the Wild West show In the great race from Chadron , Nob. , was awarded the first prlzo of $1,000 by the committee- night. Stephens , better known as "Uattlesnaka Pete , " arrived at Buffalo Bill's Wild West show yesterday morning at 0 o'clock. This was the rider whoso horse was so badly used up at DoKalb that it looked as though ho would never finish the raco. It seems by some magic known only to the cowboy fraternity the animal limbered up and ar rived at the end of his Journey In such con dition as to obtain n clean bill of health from the officers of the humane society , It was not the first time Pete was in Chicago cage , nnd after registering at the cowboy rendezvous , ho proceeded down town to take In the jtghts of Clark stroot. fie said to all his Inquiring friends that his trip was a good ono nnd that hit horso. General Orant , was In good condition. Ills temperature was 100 and his pulse forty-two when ho ar rived. The horse Is 11 .years old , nnd con sidering the fact that ho was ridden all the way , ho has pulled outnuich better than was expected of him. Ho was ridden from Ness City , Kan. , to Chndron , a distance of COO milct , before starting lu the raco. Ho is a full blooded broncho , being a captured Kan sas wild horso. Pete is very proua of him , and keeping In mind the celerity with which ho recovered from his sickness , ho bos great faith m his rccuucratlvo powers. Hoom-do.Ayo Uroueht Up the Hour. The last horse to arrive Boom-de-Aye , a bay gelding broncho of the Spanlsh-Amcrl- p-an typo reached the Wild west nt 10:55 : a. m. It was ridden by Joe Campbell the entire distance of 1,043 miles and arrived in splendid condition , considering the magnifi cent effort niado In covering so great a dis tance in so short n timo. This horse has more lully proved the true value of the western horse for endurance and staying qualities than is apparent in any of the other horses in this great raco. On arrival his temperature was 10:1 : and pulse -18. The ground of protest taken against Berry was that ho had been ever the road before and had drawn a map. Further , that the route was given to two nswsp.ioers two days before the race , and that Berry did not know ho was barred until ho had arrived at Long Pine , NOD. , 101 miles from Chadron. No evidence was presented to show that Berry did not como in according to the rules of the race. The trouble now Is the decision regarding the other riders , which will bo rendered by the race committee at Chadron. Some of the bo.vs say the race was not ridden "square. " Colonel Cody was determined to investigate the matter and sco that the prkes were awarded to the proper persons. It Is believed that there were all sorts of schemes among the boys to win the raco. ' 'Doe" ' Middioton Is the ono that all would have liked to have had win , but when his horse failed there Was a scramble among the rest. There is some talk of making a pool and dividing the money. The modest John Berry has a pocket full of loiters from young women in Chicago who are anxious to make his acquaintance. But John is already a benedict , and so there is small chjnco for the fair suitors. Humnno Societies Satisfied. Paul Fontaine , secretary of the Illinois Humane society , and W. G. Tatro , secretary of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals , followed the race all the way through and report it was conducted in every way satisfactory to the societies. The report concludes : "A strict supervision has been carried on over the condition of the animals from start , o finish , and the wonderful task accom- jlished by them is , if anything , a tribute to he beneficial results of such attention by ho association as well as a testimonial to .ho discretion of the riders and the previous luggestlons of Messrs. Cody and Salisbury , o the contestants. " Fred Chaffeo. D. V. S. , and Fred Asle. D. V. S. , examined the horses on their arrival and reported them in line condition. Mow Tllry Gut In.
