DICK STANLEY WAS
THE BEST OF ALL
Man Who Will Shortly Appear In This
City Was Robbed In Cheyenne,
Wyoming, BY Unfair Judges.

CHEYENNE. Aug 27.-The rocket.
with its blazing rise, brilliant zenith
and inglorious finish, aptly symbolizes
Cheyenne's Frontier Days This
great entertainment, in many ways the
most remarkable in the world, ended
in a wretched fizzle that had its dingi-
ness enhanced by contrast with the
color and. charm of the three preceding
days.
The finals in the worlds cham
pionship bucking contest were farci-
cal in the extreme, and would have
been screamingly funny but for the
underlying dominant note of unfair
dealing and brazen jobbery.
When the name of Clayton banks
was mega phoned as the new worlds
champion. and 10000 people realized
that Dick Stanley had been cheated
out of even so much as Il fair chance
to keep his honOrs the cries of rot
ten and fake" made the far hills ring.

Stanley Was Robbed.
Dick Stanley. the Oregon rider, who

in his condemnation of the tricks that

dealing.

NURSES ARE CAUSING
TROUBLE FOR BOARD
Commission Would Retain Those
in Schools on Civil Service List

Again the civil service commissioners
of this city have clashed with another
department of the municipal govern
ment this time with the board of
health, which insists that the five
women now holding positions as school
nurses should not be taken from the
civil service list. and maintains that
the women are more physicians than
they are nurses.
The civil service commissioners claim
that the women are nurses, that they
should not be classified as school ex-
laminers, as they are designated by the
health board. and threaten to hold up
their warrants The dispute is to be
taken before Mayor Taylor, and IL he
can not decide, to the supervisors
