II one is brought, and some of the grain
men here claim that It will be a point
that has never been raised in the courts.
It was learned that the Oklahoma grain
buyers will make the statement In their
petition that the Rock Island has given
one certain firm the privilege of handling
grain on its line, and that 1t favors the
particular company to the great disad-
vantage of other grain dealers. The claim
will not be made that the pet company
gets an inside rate, but the claim will
be made that this certain company can
get cars whenever It desires while the
complainants are damaged by not being
able 20 get cars in which to ship their
grain.
The Independent grain men claim that
the Rock Island. being a common carrier.
under the law, has no right to thus favor
one company at the expense Of others.
They claim that the railroads in this
section are combining their business as
much as possible to one firm on each
road, so as to divide the grain among the
different roads for eastern shipment at
competing points and thus avoid fight
among the roads for what they consider
their legitimate share Of the grain This.
however, could not be shown in the case
of roads not a party to the litigation and
it was learned that the refusal to fur
nish cars will be the strong point urged
in the case.
Mr.. Osmond did not state when or
where the case would be brought. but 1t
was understood that the claim will be
made that they were unable to secure
Rock. Island cars for the purpose Of ship
ping wheat to the market centers and
these centers being outside of Oklahoma,
it was inferred that the case would be
governed by the laws regulating inter
state commerce and that the case would
probably be filed in the federal court
here That would explain why the par
ties met in this city

He says:
The tribe is camped within one-half
mile Of that place. The dance will last
FIVE days. 1t was the second night saw
it. The dance commences at SHUTDOWN
and lasts until sunrise. They had two
large kettle drums which looked some
thing like barrels covered with hide
stretched over. Sometimes they were
beating on one sometimes on both at
once.
Around each drum about twenty men
and sometimes a few squaws were al
crowded as close as possible They 90

THE main dance though. is around
camp fires. They have two camp fires
about 10l feet apart All the Indians who
are not around the drums are IN this
dance. They form in line two by two

PRIZES FOR
ROPING CONTEST
Are Largest Ever offered at
Any Time.
BEST MEN IN THE LAND
VIII be in the Contest This
Year at Wichita.

There never has been offered at any
point such magnificent prizes for roping
and riding contests as are offered this
year by the Wichita and Southwestern
Exposition and Carnival association. a
total of $500 has been offered for the men
who rope and hog-tie steers from the
gulf ranges in the shortest time. The
steers have been purchased and viii ar
rive here about the middle of September.
They are wild and woody ones, just of
the best ranges of southern Texas, all
three-year-olds. anu not one that has had
a rope on him since the day he was
branded. They are big and strong, the
grass this year has been splendid, and
every steer when turned loose will start
out with the idea of not being caught
without q good chase.
1t will certainly be a sight worth going
hundreds of miles to see those big.
brawny men, fresh from the range. with
their agile little bronchos capture and tie
those steers, just as determined as the
horse and rider.
The prizes offered are large enough to
west to come here. Arrangements have
been made so that the men and ponies
will be transported to this city at very
low rates. 1t will be holiday for the
men, and also give them a chance to
show what they can do with the rope.
The riding contest will also come in for
a large lump Of prizes. something over
500 being offered for this feature of the
fair. These purses are larger than those
usually given for these contests, and Will
bring many of the best horsemen of the
southwest to this city.
The rules have been prepared for both
roping and riding contests. There are to
be three mounted judges and a time
keeper. In the roping contest the steer
is to have a start of 10 feet. and the roper
is TO remain at the gate until the gong is
sounded. The man who ropes the steer
over head or horns and throws and hog
ties the animal in the shortest space Of
time will get the prize. The
rider in the broneho busting con-
test who remains in the saddle the
longest will carry of the honors.
Next Tuesday and Wednesday. August
19 and 20 the Kingman County Cattle
mems association has their annual picnic
and many of the officials of the Wichita
associa ton will attend and advertise the
exposition and make arrangements with
number of the cowboys VINO appear at
Kingman to come to Wichita and also
bring their friends. Besides the fair Off
Gals there will be a large contingent OF
Wichita people attend the picnic, which is
always of interest. Arrangements are
being made for a special train to leave
this city early on the morning of the 20th,
the day of the roping and riding contests,
and large number of people have sig
nified their intention OF going on this
train. 1t is possible that d special train
will be run out to Kingman on Tuesday
morning. Both specials Will return the
same evening. but not until after all Of
the good entertainments which the King
man people offer have closed for the
night
