and tying their animals within the two
minutes allowed, some of the contest
ants failing even in roping their steers.
The best time was made by Maikai
Keliilike, of Kahoolawe, who was two
seconds over the minute.
Unfortunately the program yester-
day began with and ended with an
accident, Charles Lucas Jr. being rem
dered unconcious through his horse
falling on him in the potato race and
Johnny Winters, the Wyoming rough
rider, going down under his horse in the
wild horse race. Neither of the riders
We're seriously hurt, however, Lucas
being taken to the hospital, where he
came around within a short time, and
Winters being able to limp off after
his steed had been pried off his leg.
1t was feared at first that Lucas was
badly injured.
Very wisely the management had ar
ranged for the attendance of a number
of the boys from the Red Cross corps
of the National Guard to give quick
aid in case of accident, and the Board
of Health ambulance, in charge of D.
P. Lawrence, was kept on hand
throughout the day. Both the ambu-
lance corps and the Red Cross detach-
ment did good work. The latter, under
the command of Quartermaster Serg-
cant Barry, were out with their
stretcher just as soon as it could be
seen that an accident had happened,
carrying the unconscious form of
Lucas to the ambulance and being
ready to do the same for Winters had
it been necessary.

ing loose in the field prior to the COM
meneement of events. Gathering these
and herding them to the corral was
done by about forty punchers, includ-
ing nearly all the well known herds
men and riders of the Territory, who
circ1ed the stock and drove them into
the enclosure provided outside the ma
kai Waikiki corner of the field. The
sight of so many expert riders, splen-
didly mounted as the majority were,
was decidedly interesting and a worthy
first number. The number present,

Interesting Items Gathered In the
GOpkaer State
RattIesnake Loose.

hattIeSndke LOOSE
st. Paul-Passenger at the Union
depot were given bad scare as the
result Of the escape of Texas rattle
snake from a box in charge of the
Wells Fargo Express company.
The snake was one of six consigned
to E. ]. Erickson, Hamline, and had
been shipped from Brownsville, Texas,
Sept. z. According to the officials of
the express company the consignee
refused to accept the snakes, stating
that they had arrived too late for the
purpose for which he wished them,
therefore the snakes have been kept
at the express company's Union depot
Office since Sept. z.
During the early hours of the morn
ing one Of the larger snakes managed
to get out of the box and crept across
the platform. Several passengers who
were boarding the early morning
trains saw the snake and panic fol-
lowed.
Finally a brakeman on the Great
Northern who had evidently had some
experience in handling rattlers, picked
