Denver, Colo, Aug. 20.-William
Mullen of Chicago, graduate Of Moody
Bible institute there, broke two
bronchos at his first meeting in Dem
yer. He drew a crowd to the lot on
South Broadway, where he held forth,
by Offering to break any broncho that
might be brought. Two vicious horses
were produced. He roped one horses
tail, then brought the lasso through
one ring of the bit which he had forced
into its mouth. Then he mounted and
stayed in the saddle while the bron-
cho tried every trick of the plains to
dislodge him. 1t took twenty minutes
OF steady bucking to make the first
horse give up. The second, which the
owner, Z. r. Rust, could not ride, was
subdued in ten minutes. Then Mullen
drew a parallel line between breaking
bronchos and conquering the devil.
