For the fret time in the history
of the Roundup a Pendleton buck
aroo. Lee Caldwell. is champion
hroncho buster Of the world 1t is no
accident that gives him that title. If
ever a champion furnished lndisput-
able proof OF his fitness to be called
such, young Caldwell furnished that
proof Saturday afternoon when one
after the other with hardly chance
to recover his breath, he rode in per-
feet form four of the greatest buck
ing horses in the west among them
old Long Tom, and established a
claim that none could deny.
II is not the first time that Caldwell
has taken honors in the greatest Of
cowboy sports. Last year he won
second at the Roundup and, though
hardly more than boy, he has prob
ably won more bucking contests
through the western states than any
living buckaroo, The winning of the
worlds championship in the city
which has been his home for years
was the climax Of his brilliant career
as a conqueror of buoking bronks.
