True, Lochinvar, Riding Out OF
West, Captures His Hearts
Desire at Cheyenne.
SNAPS STEERS NECK
Lad From Cow Country, In Cowboys
Tournament, Rides Like Demon,
Filings Himself From Horse and
AIlqhts on Animals Neck.

Cheyenne, Wyo.-Cheyenne has a
new hero. Like all heroes he came
unheralded, true Lochinvar, booted
and spurred, riding out of the west,
to capture his hearts desire.
The hero is Lafe Lewman OF Bry-
ant, Colo, sometimes, but mostly OF
the range, and his hearts desire In
this instance Is the championship OF
the world as a broncho buster.
But even If this 22-year-old lad from
the COW country may never defeat
Champion of the World Charley Nc
Kinley, also of Colorado, and Frank
Carter of California, in the struggle to
come, he will long be remembered In
the history of the frontier days for
his prowess at the second day OF the
celebration here.
Boyish Lafe Lewman did not swim
river, he did not cross any great
mountains nor did he stand and de-
fend any bridge or pass alone, nor
whip warlike Sioux buck here, but
he did, riding like demon, fling him
self from his horse, jump away up In
the skyline and when he came down
he alighted with his great arms
around the neck of big Texas steer
in bulldogging contest.
There was crack like the report
of rife as the big animal hit the
| ground. It kicked, its muscles fiut
tered a few times, and when young
Lewman had shaken the dust from his
clothes and stood on his feet the
steer was dead its great neck broken
| by the twist.
In "Quo Vadis" the giant convert to
the religion of Christ saved the life
of Lygia, the Christian. maid, by just
such a feat. Many laughed at the
novelist's imagination, but 1t remain
| ed for this young giant Of the plains
to prove that a man could break the
neck of a raging steer, and hence
Lewman is the hero of Cheyenne to
night
1t was a terrible example Of the
power of a well-directed twist. The
crunch of the neck bones could be
heard many feet away as Lewman
came down upon the animal
And the feat has startled even the
most reminiscent of the cattle days
who say 1t was never performed be
fore in their memory Of the plains
Lewman is shy and timid. for he has
had little experience in crowds, but he
knows horses, as was demonstrated
the other day, and more, the strip

and heart-breaker of championship
hopes. 1t may be recalled that many
