The Big Horn County Rustler of Basin.
Wyo.. has the following to say about our
original and lively booster:
The editor is in receipt Of an invitation
to attend the Twenty Second Annual Fair
Association and the Annual Watermelon
Day Festival. at Rocky Ford. Colo. and
we find that the cordiality of the invitation
is made more so by the fact that the man
in charge of the publicity and privileges
is our old friend Mr.. M. U. Randel, at one
time resident of the town of Basin and
still the owner of a considerable amount
o. property in the Big Horn Basin.
We are pleased to note the renewed
activity of our freno Randel. Although
handicapped in many ways. he is live
one and is always to be numbered among
the boosters of the community in which
he is located

ments thusly: about half a dozen
Rocky Ford people attended the Lamar

hundred to the fair at the melon metro

believe in returning good for evil. but
they make the percentage too high"

Some Good Races


The racing card had several
fine numbers and was quite inter-
esting, each event being hotly
contested. The feature-race and
the one that brought more bets
amongst the grandstand occupants
than all the others Of the three
days, was the gentleman's road
ster race, in which a blanketed
old nag -apparently-hitched to
rickety old buggy and driven by
gray haired old farmer, appear
ed and elected the sympathy of
the fair spectators to such an ex-
tent that they were willing to
wager their pin money upon his
winning. And, sure enough, old
George Coffman and his nag ran
away from the rest of the bunch
until the old man BECAME asham-
ed and stopped till the rest had
passed, when he hit out again and
passed under the wire a good
length in advance. Notwithstand-
ing repeated requests the old mad
would not uncover the winning
horse, but it leaked out before
long that the speedy animal was
"Shorty" Dyes new racehorse.
