Excitement Galore
One of the most exciting events OF
yesterdays program, and which drew
the loudest applause, was the bull
dogging exhibition. In the hand-to-
hand struggle between man and
beast. the steer was in most cases
the victor. An unusually tough
bunch of critturs had been selected
for the event, large and well-fed AMI
mails with an abundance of strength
and the viii to fight.
The first steer to be released was
too strong for the doughty bull
dogger. Carrying the burden OF
heavy man upon his horns, the steer
dashed down the track at high rate
of speed and successfully resisted
the cowboys efforts to bring him to
earth.
The second steer was regular
race horse. He ran for nearly a
quarter of a mile before the bull
dogger could catch him with his
pony. He was finally downed after
one minute and nine seconds OF
struggle.

speed demond and never was caught

Lone Overton as runner-up. Lone
Overton also bull-dogged a steer
from an automobile in 33 seconds. he
never threw the animal until he had
passed the grandstand, however.
This afternoon he will throw steer
directly in front of the spectators.

Speed and class was the keynote of
the great rodeo staged yesterday af-
ternoon at the state fair grounds.
About $500 people went out to see
the spectacle and were completely
satisfied with the program. Never,

a lapse of interest on the part of the
crowds in the grandstand and the af-
fernoon was free from the long waits
between events which usually mar
entertainments of this kind.
Ordinarily such a large program
would consume over three hours in
presentation but the program yester-
day took only two hours and a half
due to the efficiency of the manage
