GREAT PACKING HOUSES

There was a good deal OF life about the
stock yards yesterday. There was plenty
of stock and more people than have been
seen at the yards in a long time. The
street car company gave a ten-minute
service on the stock yards line, and when
they became too heavily loaded extra cars
were put on the line.
The stock meE very naturally are at
tracted to the stock yards and the pack
ing houses. and they came in force yes
terday. Jerry Simpson came UP with the
st. Joseph delegation. and showed them
over the yards. Most of the men entered
for the riding and roping contests were at
the yards yesterday, and they looked over
the grounds where the contest will be
held, which are a short distance southeast
of the yards, on Twerty-hrst street.
Thirty-eight horses came in from Bliss,
Oklahoma, yesterday, about half OF which
are wild horses and outlaws.
John Arlington, of kingman, and his
famous colored rider, George Washington,
were at the yards. Mr.. Arlington said
they had George Washington bound with
an iron-clad oath not to drink anything
stronger than tea and milk, or play
craps, until the contest is over If there
is g horse in the crowd that the men en-
tered cannot ride, George Washington
win ride him for SIS. and if he fails he
will pay the association tEat amount. In
other words, he stands ready to pet even
money that he can ride any horse that
can be produced on the grounds.
Big Charley, the colored man from the
5O1 ranch, was also on hand. He is the
man who Will tackle the wild steer on
Thursday and throw him with his naked
hands and tie him fast. Some of the
ropers were making q loud complaint
about their horses being kept so long in
the cars. One nan said the horses were
In the cars over thirty hours coming from
Woodward.
The first sale was held at the yards yes
terday of Shorthorn cattle that were
brought here by Robinson & Faulkner, of
Jamesport, Missouri. A large Per cent of
them were calves about nine months old,
with a few COWS and bulls. Mr.. Robin
