Joe Ballanfant's Horse.

Senator Carmack's comparison
of President Roosevelt to Ten
nessee horse whose "natural gait
was running away" has touched
the risibles of the nation. 1t was
an apt as we'll as a humorous illus
tration of the Presidents propen
sity to precipitate speech and &C
ton. The stenographic report of
Senator Carmack's remarks in the
Congressional Record shows his
exact language to have been: "He
~ lembIes in his habits of speech
friend Joe Ballanfant's horse,
| (which remarkable animal it was
I aid that running away was his
natural gait"
The Columbia Herald says the
incident upon which the witticlsm
was founded occurred while Sena-
tor Carmack was school boy at
Gulleoka. Joe Ballanfant was
then dashing young cavalier and
an ex-Confederate soldier, and was
very much admired among the la
dies. He rode in those days what
the Herald describes as "a crazy
gray horse" and one day, it is re-
lated, che came careering down
the road in cloud of dust, riding
this horse at the top of his speed
AS he passed the school the boys,
among whom was the future sena-
tor, watched with glowing admir-
alton the gallant equestrian and
his caracoling steed, and one OF
them shouted:
SIS he running away, Joe"'
|'Running away!'' replied Joe.
s'Thunder! Running away is his
natural gait"
The story has survived all these
years in Maury county, but it re
NAMED for Carmack to tell it to
the nation and thus immortalize
that remarkable steed. Nashville

M'GONIGLE WINS.
Roped Three Steers In Less Than
Three Minutes at San Antonio.


A new roping champion came
out of the Southwest Wednesday
morning, when Clay McGonigle
roped and tied a steer in the re-
markedly short space of thirty
four seconds. 1t has broken all
records here, and practically
breaks the worlds record, when
the local roping conditions are
taken into consideration, especi-
ally so in the contests just closed
the ropers were not allowed to
have their loops made when leav-
ing the pen in pursuit of a steer.
McGonigle came here last year
with an A l reputation, but as the
fates would have it, both of his
ropes were broken 1t is n clear
coincidence that the same luck
should befall him at the opening
contest about twelve days ago.
He is today the brightest star in
the firament of champion cattle
ropers.

ropers entered, the conditions
being that each man was to rope

Gonigle did a great feat. A fast
steer. Like streak of lightning
the roper went after the steer.
Throwing his rope in fine style he
turned the steer upon the ground.
McGonigle evidently had diff
Guilty in tying, though he made
the good time of 46 As.
j. E. Carroll-One of those
fighting black Bremen steers, the
hardest kind to keep down, fell
to Carroll's lot. Carroll could
not throw him the first time, ana
had to land him on the earth
good and hard. Still then the
steer struggled. The tie was
made IN 50 8-5.
Jim Hopkins-A streak of tough
luck for Hopkins. The steer
would not lay until Hopkins tried
to tie the fourth time. Hopkins
made a good tie, and considering
all of his difficulties, did we'll
Time IA.
Joe Observation-Disclosures good
horse was a splendid standby.
He roped very well, could not
throw his steer, and that lost
time. Gardner threw him a
second time. He then made u
very good tie. Time As 2-5.
j. +. Hill-Another man who
had troubles in the shape of big
steer, n semblance of the old-time
Texas longhorn. There was more
fight in this animal than any in
the contest up to this time. On
the fourth throw down the animal
decided to lay quiet and take his
medicine. Time :33 2-5.
l.. +. Blackaller-He lost a
fine opportunity to establish
record, if nothing more. After
throwing the steer Bhckaller ran
up in front of him, instead to the
rear. The steer got up very
quickly. Blackaller had to re-
mount his horse and double up
the steer again, and then had n
struggling steer to contend with.
Notwithstanding this he made n
record of 80 seconds.
Fred Overwhelmingly his
rope did not land right the first
time, and to add to the roper's
J trouble, the steer was a thorough
bred Splinter. Baker threw the
steer a second time and effected
the tie in | 10
John Murrah--His steer was
one of the crooked runners. MUIR
rah threw his steer twice before
getting him tied. Time | 100.
r. r. Stillwell-Although dis
qualified in the second heat, Still
well was permitted to do his stunt
in this heat. Missed the first
throw and caught by one horn the
second time. The steer then went
out on the race track, where Still
well lost. No time.
McGonigle-The announcer's
mention of McGonigle's name
brought applause from the grand
stand. McGonigle won the mon
ey, for in this heat his last steer
was tied in AZ 4-5. 1t was most
entertaining exhibition.
j. e. Carroll-Carroll's steer
was n powerful animal, and strug-
, gled hard. This made trouble
, for the roper. In getting down
the steer the third time Carroll
: tied we'll, but in rather slow
way. Time 30.
Jim Hopkins-Hopkins third
steer was bad one in more ways
than one. He had many troub-
les in throwing him to the ground,
but finally succeeded in doing so.
Time 1904.
Joe Gardner-He lost all hopes
for first money when missing his
first throw. Again he missed,
and the third time he was success
full, and tied the steer in lis
