WILD MULE RIDE JOHN F.ULTE A "DARE-DEVIL" j A Vicious Apimal Carries its Rider Over a High Wire Fence —Mule Badly Skinned Up, But Rider Unhurt. Mr. J. E. Foote aud company, ;of Arizona, are bere with a show, j whioh has been a chief attraction , ! for several days. The show con sists of Wild W-'Bt performances lin tbe day, and moving pictures, | | eto.,.at night. Mr John Fplte, a member of the company, is one pt ■ 'the most skilled riders ever seen |in this country. He aives'frcej jday performances in the . siueet, i which are worth going but* to see. i i Tuesday be accomplished one of the most daring feats ever wit nessed here, when he rode i the wild mule of Mr. ' Bob 1 Tucker. This 'animal had not 1 been ridden for a year or two by : any person, and ihu last attempts to manage tiim-had been attet)ded.|f by disaster. Fulte agreed •to], mftke the attempt. The mule, which is an lrofi and a]>- a very gentle animal, j.was "brought out* and saddled by i Pits owner, assisted by Mr. Fulte. in the presence of several hundred ' people in the level stretch be tween the McCanless House and ' t l, .e M. E, Church. While being I saddled, the mult! gave some slight evidences of nervouseness. but otherwise appeared to be tractable. Mr. Fulte, attired in the garb of the plains, with wide brimmed sombrero, boots, spurs | ami hunting shirt, patted the | mule, easily slipped one foot in a stirrup and quicker than thought leaped in the saddle. |' He was no quicker than the mule,' i nowever, which like a Hash of | lightning developed from a seem-! ; ingly docile animal into a very jdemou. It jumped high in the! | air, screamed with angerand pain, i i bucked, ducked, pawed, and tried to turn a somersault, while the ; rider jumped over its head, and \ lost his grip on the bridle. The j mule then skiddooetl like a deer l |up the street. It was soon caught, j aud brought back, and Mr. Fulte! I again mounted. This time he! 1 was quicker, and staving the heavy cowboy spurs into the I animal's sides, and beating it over i the head with his sombrero, the \ | race began, up the street like mad. ' The mule bucked every breath, and ;' nothing but a trained daredevil could have stayed in the saddle. But Flute stayed. The animal I made a hee line with bis head | down, for a distance of about | two hundred yards, when it 1 collided with a wire fence that en- 1 closes the vard of Col. J. H i Stewart, striking the same with ! its forehead about six inches from | ! the top, the strong fence turning | it. a complete somersault, rider and all making a flying leap. Mr. Fulte landed gracefully on his feet unharmed, but the mule's forehead was badly skinned up. ; though not otherwise injured, it j was a most astounding spectacle, and the large crowd that, witness ied the escapado was convulsed with excitement.. i Another exhibition will be | given here tonight, when the j show people will leave for Wal j nut Cove tomorrow. At that ! place Mr Foote, the manager, de-.' j sires that all persons who have ! wild horses, mules or bulls and want them broken or ridden will please bring them on Friday and 'Saturday. 'Free exhibitions will ! be given in the street. These show people are clever i and honorable folks, and are en titled to the patronage of the! j public. i- " Accident E. Holcoirb. Attorney V, J£.
