to the good fortune which gave

side lined by the Crocker ella III OF

substantially built " tn two Ana com

who thought a bulldog figured in the
steer bulldogging event.
But she was not so far from the
truth, as were old timers who pre-
dicted that "Chian" couldn't stage
the. great annual show without
"booze." The celebration just held
was the first under prohibition. And
it was the, most successful of the
frontier days. Crowds ranging up to
10000: daily assured that next year
and for many years-without liquor
the cowboys will hold forth in
their annual festival.
Tent colonies of auto tourists,
spread out on the plains near Chey-
enfe, attested to the widespread pop
ularity of 4broncho busting, roping,
steer bulldogging and horse racing.
Cowboys from Chicago to Walla Wal
la and Cody to Fort Worth were en-
tered in the contests.
