Parsons, they had to rebrand them
and it was rather thrilling to watch
the boys rope and throw those large
fat cattle which were by no means
the gentle bovines that inhabit our
barns. There were two ropers on
horseback in. the corrall who roped
the cattle. Some half dozen men
would westle, finally throwing them
down and branding them. Then as
the ropes were lossened, every one
made a wild scamper for the top Of
the fence and occasionally some one
was just a little slow in reaching the
fence. No serious accidents occur
ed, but some of them received some
BID scares and were rather pale after
wards. 1t was equal to any show of
the 101 ranch or other wild west
shows, this being the real thing. A
large number of people were out to
witness the excitement.
