ARE No SCRUBS"
AMONG THE CROWD OF COWBOYS
AT THE DENVER FES-
TlVAL.
They Are Somewhat Reticent md
Don't 5rag. But the BronCho That
Gets Them Down viii Have to Do
Some Mighty Clever 8ucking-
Duncan Clarke and the Bear.

gregattOn of rough riders h have
come from all over the west to take
part in the carnival contest. says
Wednesdays Denver Times.
The broncho busters themselves ar"
exceedingly rcticont.
"A good COW boy never braGs,' said
W. II. Howard OF South Platte. a rider
whose skill gave him Il place with Buf-
falo Bill's Wild West show for three
years.
Kid Vaughn remained silent. Kid is
bashrul. which is a greater d~isadyaur-
age than being inexperienced.
Il don't know anything. said Kid.
biushiug. no, | never got thrown
that | remember. Never SAW a bear
nor an Indian " Kids companions
looked at him in silent ama1omcut. Kid
is full of stories. but he won't talk.
William Carver of Cheyenne, Wyo..
was ashamed OF KIDS pervcrsity, and
though William is himself a modest
young man, he and his neighbors. the
Duncan boys. became Interested in
their exploits and talked moro freely
of their experiences.
Carver's first encounter was calcu-
lated to prove his bravery. and he
came out first best, for a tusslc with
a bucking broncho and a furious bear
IS not the most pacific experience
Imaginable.
This was at the beginning Of his for
tunes when he was only -. The sud
den appearance of the u~nfriendIy ali
nal set the wild horse into a spasm of
fever. and between the two evils Car
yer was having a bad time. At last he
succeeded in firing his horse and a
violent struggle with the bear resulted
in its determination. The bear Carver
proceeded TO dress. and when the job
was finished 800 pounds of wild meat
was added to the Carver larncr.
Neil Clark has an acquaintance with
wild horses of twenty-five years stand
ing. In fact. there is very little about
horses that Neil doesn't know. Neil
and his brother. Duncan. together with
Carver. have killed wolves and bears
and broken horses until ii is n matter
