it just to encourage the boys. The extra
money seemed to rattle the boys rather
than help them and they had all kinds

against time in this contest. but
against each other. Four steers were
turned loose. Each man was to throw
and tie his steer and the first man out
was to get his rope On the odd one and
earn the money.
Bassett threw first and caught his
steer by a hind foot. His rope broke
and he was out of the game. Horrell
threw, but missed his mark. While he
was gathering up the hemp. Cline got
his steer down, but It proved an OBJ
streperous animal and hard one to
tie BY the time he finally succeeded
in tying the steer. HorTell had made 4

his horse again ready to try for the
odd one. He was 1C0 yards nearer to
