THROWS WILD STEERS..
Will Pickens Will Give an Exhibition
of His Feat at Fair Grounds.
The Fair will present tomorrow for
the first time A new free attraction or
a highly sensational character and
one that is fraught with much danger
to the performer. This is the daring
act by Will Pickens who throws wild
steers with his teeth alone being
wholly unaided by any other means.
Pickens requires absolutely in his con-
tract that the steers used in this ex-
hibition be as wild as possibly can be
found A tame or gentle anima) he
snys. might defeat the effort to throw
him and for that reason the more
vicious they are the better Is Pickens
satisfied. .
His manner of performing this feat
is thrilling in the extreme. Pickens
who has been dubbed the “dusky de-
mon of the cow ranch.” has the
strength of a Sandow and he is ab-
solutely fearless in his handling of
the vicious beasts. The steer is
turned loose and goaded to a fast run.
Pickens mounted on a fleet horse
spurs beside the infuriated animal
which has Just tasted freedom after
kng confinement In a crowded cor-
ral and a furious race begins between
horse and steer. While tearing along
