MAY RIDE BRONCS
FOR LARGE STAKES

That Winnemucca may be the scene
In the near future of broncho riding
contest is indicated by 800 deposit
in the First National Bank, placed by
Al Holt, a we'll known broncho buster,
the deposit being made as a forfeit In
case he fails to cover an amount of
between $1,000 and $4,000, the sum
which Tom Minor. rancher and horse
man Of Platora, has agreed to back
his challenge.
Minor recently challenged any rider
to ride against him In a contest and
Holt, the only contestant so far, made
his deposit on the condition that the
riding be done under present rules
governing this kind of contests, and
asking that the contest take place be-
fore June l. He also requests that a
similar deposit be made by Minor, as
proof that he Is in earnest.
Minor is at Quinn River at present
and whether or not he will carry out
the proposition in accordance with
Hollis stipulations can not be de-
termined until his return. 1t is un-
derstood that his relatives will try
to dissuade him, as he Is much Older
man than Holt While he has ridden
all his life and held the championship
for years, and has a good chance OF
winning this time. there is grave dan
ger that he might be hurt and his
friends and relatives don't like to see
him take the chances.

gins. secretary and clerk in the en-
ploy of the Universal Silvers Com
pany, met with a serious accident last
evening just after dark. Yesterday
afternoon, feeling the need of outdoor
exercise, he started out for hike"
over the hills. He stated to Mr.. Van
Dyck that he thought he would work
his way over the hills to Coyote Can
yon and return by way of the valley.
He failed TO return last night, but no
alarm was felt until this morning.
when still nothing had been seen or
heard of him.
Knowing that something must have
happened to him, Mr.. Van Dyck, the
president of the company, lost no time
in making known the facts and soon
volunteer searching parties were
securing the hills, while he himself
went with his car to all accessible
points in the canyons.
Finding no trace of Mr.. Higgins by
afternoon fresh parties were sent out,
some even going from Inlay.
Soon after the horsemen had gone,
Mr.. Overholt, fellow Office employe,
who had been left behind probably
because he was a stranger In these
parts and who had no horse, started
out on foot, having a feeling, as he
said, that he would find the missing
man.
Learning the direction which others
had taken Mr.. Overholt struck out d.
rectly for the highest and most rugged
cliff in this vicinity, known locally as
the Red Rocks. Arriving there about
noon he found Mr. Higgins at the bot
tom of the cliff, unable to move be-
cause of an injury to his leg, whether
broken or not he couldn't say.
Mr.. Higgins explained that dark
ness had overtaken him on his return
