q big Eed steer that before he got to the
dead line stopped and took a look at the
crowd. turning around in all directions
and calmly viewing the whole show
Finally someone threw his hat at him
and the steer started off. He had not
gone far when the rider threw his rope.
II did not fail right, and the steer jumped
through il. but the rope was pulled tight
over the fore legs before he got away.
II was an easy matter 10 throw and
tie him. but the job was hardly over
before the steer went to paving and be-
fore the roper had gone hundred yards
the steer was mp and coming back TO the
pen. The rope with which his legs we're
tied broke loose and he was roped by
some others and put back into the pen
Neelv Arlington OF Hingman was the
next man called. \ white and yellow
steer was turned loose and ne made a
dash for the north end. where the cow
boy started after him. The first throw
was missed and in getting his rope again
he guided the animal around TO the
east side and as the steer was about 10
go into the crowd along the fence he
threw him and the animal was tied. He
tied his steer in three minutes and two
seconds.

was given a long. white steer. This an
imal was the sviftest one in the bunch.
He shot across the field in a straight
line and went so fast that the roper did
not have q chance 10 catch him. The
steer headed right for the open ground
and he got it, jumping over the fence,
and making the crowd move around very
lively.
one Of the cowboys got tired standing
around while the men were after this
steer. so he stirred up quite commo-
ton by getting on a broncho and letting
him buck around a little.
It was getting colder and someone in
the north end Of the lot started a bon
fire and in a few moments a dozen fires
were blazing around the edge OF the
field.
Miss Lucille AIulhau was one OF the
party after the big, white steer, and
she was the first one to rope him. Then
some man rOped him and together they
led him to the pen. While the men
were putting this one into the pen. the
n few moments before broke out and
made dive for the police
man. The copper did not see him coming
until some one yelled and he turned
around and he didn't do a thing but
throw his club at him.
j. r. Carol, OF Mangum, o. T., was
the next man caleld on 10 show his skill.
A spotted steer was turned out and he
made a shoot for the north end Of the
the rope fell over one horn and failed
10 hold, so another attempt was made.
The steer did not vary a foot from the
line he had taken and Carol caught
and tied him in the northeast corner of
the lot. His time was two minutes and
thirty-nine seconds.
Billy Brakefield. Of Guymon, o. T, was
given q little. long. red steer that put up
the finest kind of q fight. He was roped
squarely over the head and around the
horns and thrown in half a minute after
he started. Brake1eld got off his horse,
but before he touched gthe ground the
steer was up and away. Again the ami
NAL was dumped and Billy started for
him, but the steer got onto his feet again.
Another time the steer was thrown and
this time the man had almost reached the
animal when he agsin got up and started
away. The pony here got in his good
work. He pulled and twisted and finally
threw the steer. all without rider, but
again the steer got up before the man
could reach him and this time the pony
without a rider went around him and
soon had him down fat and the animal
was tied. The time was two minutes and
twenty-eight seconds.
Harry Revelle Of Blackburn, o. T, was
the next TO try his hand. He was given
q big red steer and he moved like q
fash The steer fell soon after he got
started and the man missed an easy
throw and the steer got on his feet and
made a fine fight for liberty and the man
missed another throw and the steer was
captured be others
j. +. Warren Of Siivandale was given
a yellow steer TO practice on and he had
plenty Twice he missed his steer, and
finally roped the animal in front of the
grand stand and only a few feet from
the fence. After being roped the steer
pulled a little and then laid down and let
the man tic him.

tertainment for awhile. A-big black steer

the man missed the animal both times
and then the steer went through the
fence.
r. z. Corners of Quincy. O. T., tried
his hand A black and white spotted
steer was given him and after one throw
and only catching one horn the steer
went through the fence. The roper went
after him. with several others, and they
dragged him into the pen, but he made
things interesting for all concerned !
while they were doing it. for he pulled
loose twice and had 10 be r0ped again.
