IOWA SHERIFFS TO WATCH COWBOYS.

If Any Cruelty Is Shown the Race Will Be
Stopped at Once.

FORT DODGEM Iowa, June 9.- Governor
Boies has written a letter to the sheriff of
each Iowa county through which the racing
cowboys will pass on their way to the
world's fair. He urges them to watch the
riders carefully and arrest the first one
whose horses show any sign of cruel or inhuman
treatment. Sherrif Adams states
that it is his intention to closely watch each
rider on his way through Webster county,
and that he will promptly arrest any one of
them who is overriding his horse or otherwise
treating him cruelly. With careful
surveillance of this character all along the
line it is barely possible that the race may
be completed without any cruelty to the
mustangs ridden.
