THE sTEER-TYING CONTEST.

l.
In the best exhibition of steer-tying
ever seen in that section Oscar Roberts
defeated Joe BaSsett in their match at
Phoenix Sunday afternoon. According
to the terms of the contest each man
was to throw and tie five steers, each
steer to have thirty-five yards start,
and the total time for the five to de-
eide the contest. Roberts tied his
five in six minutes and 141a seconds.
and Bassett completed his job in seven
minutes and 23a4 seconds. Roberts
is richer by 1920 and two-thirds of the
gate receipts. Roberts furnished his
own backing while Bassett had a back
er. About 1 200 people witnessed the
contest Up until the last steer Bas-
setr was ahead of Roberts in the time
required to tie four steers but his last
one got away from him and then
fought so when he was caught that it
required about three and a quarter
minutes to tie him and caused Bassett
to loose. Up to that time Bassett was
ahead of the territorial record. After

SHOPPING ON A WHEEL
A bicycle should not be used as an
observation car, nor vehicle on which
to ride along the street and select
hristmas presents. A young woman
in Phoenix was using her bicycle for
the latter purpose when she had col
lision. An old squire was driving
the family horse along the street in a
buggy when he saw the fair cyclist ap-
preaching. He noticed that she was
rolling along at a good rate of speed
and that she was riveting her eyes on
the beautiful holiday displays in the
store windows. probably wondering
what she would find in her stocking on
Christmas morning. The squire see
ing no indication that she would ever
look in front of her again he turned
to one side and stopped for the cycling
shopper to pass. But in spite of his
precautions she ran him down. One
handle bar climbed the front wheel
and the other landed across the shaft
The wheel stood straight up on the
rear tire and the rider having no spurs
slid off. Luckily she found soft spot
in the street on which to land and was
uninjured.

YOUNG WOMEN CONFESS.
Admft to 0mcers That They Took
Large Quantities Of Tableware
From LEGAL Restaurant.

Detectives Meredith and wappenstein

spoons and forks which had been stolen
from the Maison Harberis restaurant ana
which are a portion OF the goods that
have been extracted from the place by
system Of petty theft which the. proprie-
tor elaine has coat him hundreds OF dol
lars within the past six months.
The goods were recovered rom the
apartments OF two young women patrons
OF the restaurant who, when confronted
with the evidence Of their guilt, confessed
to have purioined the tableware but pro-
tested that II was taken n piece at
time ~ souvenirs or evening diuners at
which they were present.
Detective Wappenstein has been work
ing systematically on the case for over
week The restaurant proprietor conn
planned almost every day % the loss of
tablewear, but stated that owing to the
interior ARRANGEMENT OF the restaurant
Il had been impossible for him to detect
the manner in which the siIverware was
taken from the premises Yesterday the
ofYlcers unearthed clue which led them
to institute . search Of the premises occu-
pied by the women with the result that
spoons and forks were found stored away
In every conceivable corner Of the apart
ment.
The onsosrs refused to divulge the
names Of the women. but admitted that
both occupied positions in the community
which would ordinarily preclude the pos
sibillty OF suspicion attaching to their
conduct
