The redskin takes his loss stoically. Three years later. It is the Fourth of July at Circle City and the ranch hands from the surrounding country are whooping things up, roping, tying steers, riding bucking bronchos, and the world famous cowboy pastime called "Bulldogging a Steer" are being indulged in, right in the main street of Circle City when we saw our trio meet. Events from now on move quickly to a logical conclusion and the redman claims the inherent right of his race to revert to savagery and repay the gambler in his own way.
