Good Riding
In Bucking Contest.
There was nothing sensational in
the mems bucking contest Every
man was a stlr. Where all are so good
it is hard TO single out any man for
distinction. If anything the honors
yesterday belonged to the horses.
An accident happened carry in the
bucking contest that was not seen by
the spectators. II almost cost Sam
Young a broken arm and put him out
of business as a picker-up. This is
Sans fourth year at the Elko Rodcos.
Young was snubbinE one of the
buckers when the horse reared and
came down on his arm bending il
around the horn of his saddle. 1t was
great luck not TO have the arm bro.
ken.
This made Sam a spectator and left
the work OF picking up mainly TO Hen
ry MCGOWAN. When the finals were
on and Lee Trout came out Young re-
marked, IF he rides him he'll get
the money"
Young was thinking OF Mormon
Coon, not the rider. 1t was the horse
that was to win the money. Young
had the animal sized up all right And
Lee Trout rode him.
After the judges called pick him
the statrt. but he bucked good" Again
he was thinking of the horse. But
Lee had scratched Mormon Coon
enough to make him that hundred dol
lar prize and the S95 entrance money.
Keddie was new horse yesterday.
He put up good stiff back and Glen
Cox rode him in a way that took down
! second money.
Red Smith was also new horse in
yesterdays entries. Al Biscarro
drew him and got into the finals on
his account. Al made a good ride.
With the red ribbons on his arms
flying in the breeze and his wholly
| chaps Hopping at each buck he sailed
off across the sand lot. When he came
| back riding behind Valdez the spec
| taors gave him an ovation.
LeeCaldwell also made a maEnif-
cent ride on Cow Boy Bill Are you
ready. judges" asked Lee as he
mounted. And added. Watch me
hook him" And he hooked him all
| right.
Caldwell drew the same horse in
the finals that he had the day before,
Two Step. II was splendid ride.
Look at him scratch" He don't
pull the rein" He wants him to
buck" These were some of the ex-
pressions overheard as Caldwell put
his mount over. But Two Step was
not quick enough to draw down the
money.
indian Bueking
| Riders.
Those Indian riders were every whit
as good as their white neighbors. They
rode the same horses and took the
same hard jolts.
Frank John on Indian Chief stood
the gaff for long hard buck only to
be unseated at the end. II happened
right In front Of the grand stand. This
was the only rider thrown through
out the bucking contests.
Calf Steer
Roping Contest.
The prettiest work of the day was
perhaps that of X. Hughes in the
| calf steer roping contest. He quickly
| caught his steer as he leaped out from
the corral at the end of the grand
stand.
Then followed wrestling match
that was most exciting. Hughes in his
green shirt was conspicuous figure
out in center field. Part of the time
he was on top and part of the time
the steer was on top. But Hughes
stald with the animal until he had
tied the ribbon around his neck and
the spectators went wild with ap.
plause.
All the other ropers disqualified
themselves in this contest and there
was no second money. Most o. them
lost out by failing to catch the steer
in the one throw
Notes BY
The Way.
In the bulldogging contest Morris n.
Valdez gave an exhibition of persist.
ence not often seen. He caught his
steer and lost him. Then he mounted
his horse n second time and again
caught the steer and quickly downed
him.
In between times Lee Caldwell and
Earl Simpson gave exhibitions of
fancy roping and riding. Lee Cald.

ing horses at one throw.
II. S. McCrea is another expert with
the rope and with riding. He gave
some very pretty circus stunts Mon
