]. Wash Young, the financial hustler
of the commission, is enthusiastic over
the proposed cowboy tournament. In
his callow days Wash often rode the
range, and the claim is made (by him
self that there were few vaqueras in
Utah who could al that time lariat
and brand steer as expeditiously as
he could. Yesterday he met three of
the best known cattlemen in Wyoming
&C. c. Edwards of Big Piney. David
Roach of Red Deseret and George Hen
nick of Opal. They, too, are tourna-
ment enthusiasts and are willing to
engage in it if the proper arrange
ments are made. Wyoming, they
claim, has a rider, Fred Richardson by
name, now riding for the Barnett Cat
tie company of Green River, who is the
champion rider of the west This
claim Wash disputes and will challenge
Richardson should he come to Zion.
