Wild-West Show in Germany-Tracking
Jesse James-His Feats with Lariat,
Lasso, and Black-Snake Whip-A Man
xwith the Hair of Samson.

"Apache George" is the man who led Buffalo

for a salary as "the attraction" for a patent
medicine peddler.

George still sticks to his greasy buckskin
jumper and chapparajos and wears his hair.
