THOUSANDS OF VISIT.
ORS ATTEND ROUND.
UP...CL0SED FRIDAY


results Of the Roundup. The winnings
have not all been awarded as some of
the contests were exceedingly close.
This years attendance was exceeding
ly large and the proceeds were much
greater than last year. Ii is now
thought il will be financial success.
There were more than 200 cars here
from Texas and n number from Colo
rado, Oklahoma and Kansas. The
trains were crowded and Thursday
Tucumcari was filled to its utmost ca
pacity.
The events this year were more
classy. The entrance fees were in
creased and nothing but the best en-
tered the different contests. The bad
horses were the best pitchers in the
country. The first day every rider
rode his bronc. Vampire fell back
wards with Leonard Stroud and came
near putting Stroud out of the game,
but after resting few minutes old
Vampire was resaddled and Stroud
rode him although he pitched as hard
as the bad horse, dun Cone" In
the ladies bronc riding contest Ruby
Dickey drew bad one and owing to
the hobble breaking she was thrown
and hurt so that she was unable to
ride in the other contests Thursday
and Friday.
Other contestants were injured but
none seriously. Tex. Parker was in
jured in the face Thursday when he
tried to bulldog steer from an auto,
but he is another Bugger Red and
was ready for more Friday.
Fridays program was good both
morning and afternoon. Dun Gone"
nearly killed another rider. The rules
under which he must be ridden to win
the $1,000 make it impossible to ride
him. There are several riders who
could stay with him if allowed ride in
the usual manner, and not be required
to dig" him in the shoulder.
The Tucumcari Band furnished the
music and did u real good job of it,
although all the members could not be
been better, just enough rain Thurs
day night to settle the dust for Fri
day.

ed off during the last three days, but
