Fryburg royalty entertained men,
bers of the press party Saturday, ex-
tending a rousing welcome to the
visitors and providing a splendid pro-
gram of amusements. Despite threat
ening weather of the morning, the
auto caravan whiche wheeled out of
Dickinson in the morning carried a
large delegation of merry-makers.
Arriving at the Billings county town,
the visitors were taken in hand by
the committee, which took especial
pains to see that there was not a dull
moment for the guests during their
stay.
Address of welcome to the visitors
was delivered by Banker A.. o. Chris
tiansen of Fryburg, who expressed ap-
probation of Fryburg for the oppor-
tunity of entertaining such distin-
guished guests. Following the talk,
the trip to the Bad Lands was start
ed. Scenic delights unfolded to the
party on this trip brought forth many
expressions of admiration, the seen
cry in that vicinity being as beautiful
as any in this section Of the country.
After drinking in the sight Of Cedar
canyon and other beauty spots, re-
turn was made to town where an ex-
cellent cafeteria luncheon was served
in the lumber yard. After luncheon,
the entire party repaired to the ball
park, where the big feature of the
day, the wild west show, was staged.
A big fence had been built and a
corral constructed, Fryburg boosters
having worked several days to .get
the arena for the frontier show in
readiness. Show was under direction
of Harry Cohee, well known through
out the country as an expert IN his
line. He was assisted by a 'qulntent
of cowboys.
A quadrille on horseback inaugu-
rated the show, and then a splendid
exhibition of bucking steer riding en-
tcrtained. The steers entered heartily
into the spirit Of the occasion, OBJ
jecting st%renuously to acting as
mounts for the cowmen.
Fancy riding and roping amused for
a time, and then there was an exhi-
bition of calf branding, more than d
dozen of the animals being branded
This feature of the show was made
possible by courtesy of Rancher Harry
Coins, who also allowed use Of a num-
Der of his steers for the riding show
Comedy Enlivens Show.
Gerald P. Nye, editor of the Fry
burg Pioneer, and Henry Larson, as
sistant cashier of the bank at Fry
burg, added a hilarious touch to the
celebration with comedy stunts. Rid
ing a pair Of joke mounts, they ca
vorted before the assemblage ir
burlesque of the various stunts, furn'
ishing the browning touch when they
rode Henry Ford down the hill, Henry
being an antique buggy, with rope
steering gear. >.
An orchestra provided a fine must
cal program, which was greatly en-
joyed by the guests.
