SHOWED ALL OLD TIME SKILL

Geronimo, Apache chief, Roped Steer In Short Order

The monotony of the quiet life which Geronimo, the Apache Chief has been leading was varied yesterday with a tinge of the strenuous life of his youth. He participated in a Wild West show. Geronimo was the guest of the proprietor, and put in his appearance dressed in full regalia of the days of his former greatness.

The old man was given a good horse and lasso, and a steer was turned loose in the arena, and Geronimo was told to rope and tie it. Starting his horse at full gallop, the chase began. After circling himself around, the old chieftain whirled the lasso and made the throw. The rope settled around the steer's neck at the first attempt. In an instant the roper was off his horse, and with all the cunning of his youth proceeded to tie the animal fast and sound, accomplishing the feat in a very short time. The exhibition clearly demonstrated the fact that in spite of his 76 years he still possesses the strength and agility of youth. St. Louis Globe-Democrat
