TAFT SEES WORW 0F BRONCO BUSTERS Billy Taft" Puts Rider
 Over His Head SCHEDULE K" BUCKS
President Received Little Applause for Saying That He Was Going To Revise Wool Schedule
 Downward

| Rawlins, Wyo., October 4.-Presi- dent Taft spent today in Wyoming and 1 left here after 10 minutes stop to- night for Salt Lake City. where he expects to spend tomorrow.
 During the day the President stopped at Cheyenne and Laramie. At Chey- enne Charlie Irwin of the reception committee had arranged a miniature reproduction of the stunts made fa- nous at the annual frontier day cele- | hration.
 MT. Taft watched the bucking bran chos, the races between cowboys and the roping of wild horses with great | interest. He reviewed several thous- and soldiers from Fort D. A. Russell,
 inspected the town from an automobile and spoke on his tariff vetoes in the opera house to a good sized crowd At Laramie the President was taken
 for a short automobile ride, after
 which he made a brief speech and at
 Rawlins he made another short talk
 from the rear platform of his car. | The frontier days show at Cheyenne
 was as near a reproduction of the an
 nual affair as Irwin, who runs the
 shows and who can ride an automobile 1 as well as he can a horse, could make it. There were about 60 cowboys, cow girls and less important persons con- nected with it.
 MT. Taft watched the performance from the judges stand with United States Senator Warren and Governor Carey and appeared to enjoy exceed ingly the riding of bucking and outlaw horses. The stand held only a few thousand persons outside the soldiers from Fort Russell, nearby, and the ele- ment of the picturesqueness of natives absent, detracted materially and inter- est was lacking.
 Charlie Irwin showed himself a good stage manager, however. by remaining some of the ponies entered in the buck ing contest, there was one called Billy Taft" anothed named Archie Butt" and a third that bucked by the name of sSch edule K" and another resident or Cheyenne said was almost untidable. that Irwin put down on the programme as Teddy Roosevelt Reciprocity"
 Gin Fizz," "Old Steamboat" and a few other under names less pertinent to d presidents reception also ran
 Billy Taft was the first pony to be saddled and Jack Martin, a buster with real chaps with hair on them, tried to ride him. Martin got about 20 feet beyond the judges stand and then dis mounted head foremost. Major Butt, the Presidents aid, smilingly commented to his chief Next came Archie Butt" ridden by Frank Carter, former cham pion buster of the world Archie proved docile and Carter rode him easily up the track and into the corral.
 Senator Warren" ridden by Hugh Clark; "Aeroplaine," with Bill Baker on his back; Reciprocity" ridden by John Rfckall, were subdued handily and Schedule K" gave up almost without struggle, whereas those in the Pres ldent's party laughed heartily
 Teddy Roosevelt" manned by Paul Henson, insisted upon covering him self into a small whirlwind that re- volved at an estimated speed of not less than 30 miles an hour
 Henson stuck on for a couple of min utes but then decided to descend and chose "Teddy's' head as a stepping block. ....-..
 In the opera house President Taft declared among other things that the present wool tariff is too high and an- nounced his intention to revise down ward. Cheyenne is in the center of tho sheep country and the President got little applause for that announcement
