While the judges gathered in a
knot by themselves the official an
nouncer informed the crowd that Mrs.
Happy Jack (Nettie Hawn) would give
an exhibition ride on Clown for a
purse Of fifty dollars put up by Mr..

Judges Call for
Second Trial.
The judges announced they were
unable to pick the winners from the
seven riders and asked for fresh hors-
es and a second ride for three men
under consideration.
Simpson had named four possible
men for this second effort and had in
cluded Biscarro. He had guessed
them all correctly, and If there had
been a fourth il would probably have
been Biscarro.
The three men selected were Doh
bins, Caldwell and Adams. The horses
they drew were Black Demon, iBlly
He'll and Mormon Coon.
Black Demon had already been rid
en- by Holly once that day. Even a
bucking horse gets tired. And this
was Black Demons fourth day of the
Rodeo. And he had already made =

Thus Dobbins started off with handi'

When Dcbbins had finished Simp
son said, It's a good ride, an awful
good ride
Again Caldwell came to the scratch
on Bill Hell. II don't think Bill Hell
should be in the finals" remarked
Simpson. He's runaway horse"
Saldwell wore his white leather
chaps and sweater. He handed Il
| friend his package of cigarettes and
the friend proceeded to pinch n smoke
while Caldwell saddled up. Then the
Oregon lad famed the broncho's ears
with his big black sombrero but the
grand stand was almost silent as the
two sped by.
1t looked as II II was all dough for
Caldwell. THE boy did all he could"
said Simpson. He's hard horse to
ride, too hard to make showing"
This was his comment when he had
finished. And the judges apparently
took the same view of the matter in
awarding Caldwell the first prize.
When Mason announced George Ad.
ans on Mormon Coon, he added to a
few by.standers, Hasn't that fellow
got a crust for riding? His leg isn't
mended yet" 1t was only a short
time ago that the Indian broke a leg
riding a bucking horse
Adams and Mormon Coon received
an ovation from the crowd. Adams
was dressed in purple, purple silk
shirt and purple wool chaps. He wore
a white hat with which he famed
the Coon. The horse spun around
like a whirligig and then bucked away
in front of the bleachers.
Even Caldwell said when the ride
was over, HE made some wicked
jumps" If the spectators could have
decided the matter they would have
given the Indian first place.
When Adams was asked II It was
a good ride he said, you bet you"
