ROUGH RIDING CONTEST,
Mountain and Plain Festival Board
Will Hold One in Denver.

Denver. July l5.-Denver is 10 have
rough riding>contest this fall. for the
worlds championship. which will be
larger and livelier even than the great
show Of bucking horses and gallant
riders which was the most popular fen-
turr of last falls festival.
The festival directors last night de-
cidcd that the bucking contest should
be held, even though there will he no
festival. This action was taken be
cause of the large number of chal-
lenges which have been received from
horsemen all over the West. who are
anxious to compete for the champion
ship silver belt upon which Sowder Of
Wyoming now has the first mort gage.
At last nights regular meeting of the
festival board the plan committee re-
ported that in view of the conditions
of the rough riding contest. announced
last fall by the festival board of direc-
tlon by which contest was to be held
every year and in view of the large
number of challenges for the belt
which are now on file. it would be
necessary TO arrange the contest. This
report of the plan committee was
unanimously adopted. and the commit
tee was instructed to report as soon as
possible its recommendation as to
the time and place for holding the con
test-in Denver of course. G. NJ. Ward,
the chairman of this committee. will
call 1t together to-day. and as soon as
it is ready to report. II special meeting
of the festival directors will be held to
perfect the arrangements.
Secretary Mcnamara wishes it un-
derstood that the entries for the CON
test are by no means closed. Anyone
in the world who wants to enter may
do so merely by appearing with his
saddle before the contest begins. but
of course the sooner the entries are in
the easier it will be for the committee
to make arrangements for the contest.
The work of gathering in the
spoiled horses of the western plains
will be begun as soon as possible. so
that there may be a goodly collection
here. Mr.. Mcnamara knows of at
least twenty cowboys in Wyoming who
intend to compete. and there will prob
ably be sixty or one hundred from Col
oradO, Wyoming. Montana. Texas, New
Mexico and Arizona by the time the
lists are closed and the first unwilling
broncho is dragged into the arena.

LITTLE LEFT TO DO.
Work Of Amalgamated Association
Convention Nearing a Close.

Wheeling, w. Va, May This morn
ing the ANA lgan1ated association con-
vention is still considering committee
reports, but it is expected that the cleo
ton of officers, fixing of headquarters
and the awarding of the 1903 convention
viii be taken up this afternoon and
that the convention will then adjourn
sine die. President Shaffer will be re-
elected, Pittsburg will retain the head
quarters, and probably Columbus will
secure next years convention The
Shaffer people are waging a lively bat
tie against NJ. F. Tighe for the assist
ant seeretaryship, but it is thought tbs
Wheeling man win win out neverthe-
less.
Conferences will be held with the
manufacturers after the convention re
garding the scales notwithstanding the
fact that the officers signed them with
the principal manufacturers and that
they were endorsed by the convention
as signed. The conference will not con-
Germ the rate of wages. but will take
up certain conditions prevailing in va
TiOus mills, according to the press COM
mittee. What the conditions which the
convention wishes to change are is not
given out, but they are of sufficient inn
portance to receive the attention of the
convention.
The conferences will not be held in
Wheeling, and it may be a month be-
fore they take place. The wage scale
viii be presented to the various indie
pendent concerns by the mill commit
tees. If any of the companies object a
special conference will be called.

COUPON CLIPPERS.
Here's a Case Where It's Tiresome
Task

The office force in the state treasurer
Office today completed the semi-annual
clipping of coupons from the bonds in
the permanent school fund People who
think il would be fun to have nothing to
do but clip coupons have little idea of
the work there is about it. It is really a
big job, and while not arduous. it is ex-
ceedlngly tiresome and there is the con-
slant danger of making a mistake.
The permanent school fund is con-
stantly growing, and in the clipping
just completed. coupons were cut from
bonds aggregating IS, $50, 600. There were
about $4,000 separate cOupOns-ittle
slips Of paper about three inches long
and an inch and a half wide, and each
worth from S125 to $50. They represent
an aggregate Of interest amounting to
100000.
IL requires considerable care to al
ways clip the right coupon. The cou-
pons from each bunch Of bonds have TO
b eplaced in q little envelope and labeled.
Sometimes there are only two or three
coupons to be placed in an envelope,
but they have to be sorted SO that they
an be found on a moments notice.
Then notices are sent to all the different
school districts, townships Of munich
palities which owe interest, informing
them Of the amount of interest due.
Sometimes the officials figure it a few
cents different and correspondence fol-
lows When the interest is finally sent,
the coupons are checked up and sent to
the parties making the payment.

WANTS HIS FARM BACK.
Osborne County Man Charges Bank
With Coercion.

A peculiar case involving the title to
an Osborne county farm, and back OF
that an alleged coercion through threat
ened prosecution for fraud, was filed in
the supreme court today
Two or three years ago D. A. Mowery,
ST., a big cattle man of southeastern
Osborne county, borrowed over $1,000
from the Wilson State Bank, according
to statements made in the record in the
case, and as security he gave a mort
gage on over 300 head of cattle. Later
he borrowed nearly $1,000 more and gave
another n Ortgage on some more cattle,
but the bank officials claim to have dis
covered that Mowery did not own all of
the second bunch of cattle, and they had
him arrested on charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses.
According to MOwery's story he was
compelled to put up a check for 50 900 in
lieu of a bond. and was told If he did
not give the bank a deed to farm he
owned in Osborne county he would be
prosecuted and sent to the penitentiary.
Mowery acknowledges that he was
afraid the bank might be able to carry
out the threat. and he and his wife
gave the deed. after which the threaten
ed prosecution was dropped After
wards they brought suit in the Osborne
county district court to have the deed
set aside claiming that it was procured
through coercion. There was a long
trial and a great deal testimony was
introduced, but the court found for the
bank. Mr. and Mrs. Mowery now appeal
10 the supreme court.
