Wild Range Animal Was Chased,
Ropss, Thrown and Tied In the
Third Of Minute-Fcrmer Record
Only a Little Slower-Wideiy Known
Cowboys Participated.
Before 10000 persons Milton Healer
Of Ninnekah, Okla, broke the worlds
record for lassoing and roping Il Wild
steer the other day at Enid, Okla.
Bealers time was twenty seconds tiat.
The former champion was W. E. Car
roll Of Mangum, Okla, who had rec
ord OF twenty-one and three quarter
seconds. Carroll Witnessed Bealer's
great feat and declared him the worlds
champion.
Thirty steers from the Panhandle OF
Texas. specially imported for this occa.
sion, were the objects Of the lasSo.
They came from a 10000 acre ranch
and were as wild as the plains of the
southwest could produce. Twelve wide
iy known cowboy ropers participated IN
the contest, each mounted on his own
pony.
When one of the range steers was
released from the corral he was chased
across the field until he came in front
OF the judges stand. and if then run
ming at high rate Of speed flag was
dropped and the feet footed pony. with
his rider swinging Il lariat, dashed
down the field after the steer.
The time made by Bealer appears in
credible in view Of what he had to do.
His pony ran 100 yards before the las
SOS loop fell over the s.eer's giant
horns. That moment the pony turned
digging his hoofs into the ground,
braced himself and waited
The rushing steer reached the limit
OF the rope and turned a complete
somersault landing on his side with Il
thud. Unable to use his head, the
steer could not rise
Bealer was not on the pony, The
very moment he saw the iariat land
well over the steers horns he slid from
the pony's back and ran toward the
roped beast With six feet Of rope he
tied all four feet of the steer together
in such a manner that they could not
be freed. jumped on the beast, raised
his hand and removed his hat as a sig
nal to the Judges and the spectators
that be was through.
All this was done In the third part Of
3 single minute. Milton Bealer is just
mast trortv.fwn yoarS nfi He has
spent his life on ranch.

TONY

A bold burglar broke his way into
both our mercantile establishments
Wednesday night and helped himself to
several useful articles. The damage and
loss at Christman Bros: store was
more than at the Helm store. He
gained entrance to the former place
through arear window, which he broke.
and let himself down some ten feet on
to lard tub, breaking many lantern
globes in his descent. The safe, as u.s.
ual, was not locked, and he found moth
ing there, as the boys never keep any
money IN it nights. Helping himself to
pair of overshoes, two knives, a re-
volver and a can of beans, which he
ate in the store, he departed to open
the Helm store. He gained access by
using one of the knives stolen from
Chrisuman's to open the rear door.
Nothing was missing from the Helm
store except about $1.O0 in small
change, which he took from the post
office till. The damage to the door
makes a new one necessary. The Helm
Company's loss is fully covered by
burglary insurance.

Whit Did He Saw?

1t was a windy afternoon, and the
young man was very we'll dressed,
from his neat bowler hat to his smart
ly polished shoes. He seemed to
know that he was worth looking at,
for he kept glancing at himself in the
shop windows and pulling down his
cuffs. At the corner one of those sud-
den gusts of wind which seem to come
from nowhere blew off his bowler hat.
He saw a hat rolling down the
street, through every bit of mud and
dirt visible Of course he hurried off
lfte it. But the hat had long start
on HIM. Once he saw it topple over
and lie quietly on the stones for mo-
ment. Then puff of wind raised it
and sent it wheeling along at an in
creased speed.
At hist the hat ran into the curb
stone rear a street lamp, and with a
pounce he was upon it. All flushed
and bftathless, he picked it up, and
then he leaned against the lamp post
to rest.
A mar, also flushed and breathless,
came running up and took the hat out
of his hands.
I'm much obliged" said he.
"For hat?"
This Is my hat"
Where's mine, then?"
Hanging behind you at the end Of a
string"
