The board of supervisors went on record Monday asking the state high way department Go take over into the state highway system, the remaining sections of the. Bankhead- -Borderland highway through Cochise county. Only two sections of the highway, in this county, remain to be included in the state highway system, the section from Forrest Ranch to Lowell and from the Fairbank cutoff three miles below Tombstone, through St. David and Benson county line.
 Negotiations with the view of the state department taking over the two sections of highway, have been on be- tween the two branches for some time and it is believed that State Engine CT Thomas Maddock will take the final step toward completing the state sys- tenn through this couny, which will in clude the nraing highway from the New Mexico line at Rodeo, through Douglas Bisbee, Tombstone, St. David and Ben son to the Pima county line.

2OOO Persons Enjoy Exciting Program or Cowboy Sports At
 Warren Park Yesterday Afternoon

Two thousand persons crowded War ren Park and surrounding hills yester- day afternoon to watch the biggest and most exciting program of cowboy sports staged in southern COchise county in many years.
 After almost three hours of excite ment divided between man and beast. Broncos yielded before the strength and determination of whooping cow boys, but only after many of the cow boys had landed ungracefully but cheerfully on the ground. Calves that seemed to consider the whole of War 1en their rightful domain were forced to the ground and securely tied-but some of the calves managed to give their would-be masters some good struggles and not a few good kicks.
 It was a great afternoon in the park And the excitement was not confined entirely to the park, either, for sev- eral wild horses, peeved at being chased around the baseball diamond bolted through the gate and bucked and galloped up and down the Vista.
 The cattlemen had a large time and so did the crowd, for cowboy sports, particularly exciting programs. are lew ana lar between Tn the warren District
 Yesterday afternoon, however, will not be forgotten soon, nor will the hundreds who witnessed the program forget the cheerful manner in which all the cattlemen and cowboys entered intn eyeU event.
 Jim Kinney took first place in the calf ropiTs contest, roping and tying his calf in 28 1-5 seconds. Harry Haverty was second in 35 2-5; Charlie Gardner third in 27 and Pete Haverty fourth in 40 3-5 seconds. While Pete Haverty finished fourth, his roping and tying exhibition won a storm of applause from the crowd. Pete has only one leg, but this did not bother

him in the least. He road at break neck speed, made a perfect throw, Jumped frGm his pony, hopped to the calf, threw it to the ground. fell on top of the calf and then tied it in as pretty form as any other contestant. Others who took part in the roping contest. beside the four already named were B. K. Gillespie, E. Crawford, Bob Haverty, Jim Jones, Chick Gowan. Bob Fourr Fred Crosby, Rusty Hill man, Frank Foster, Bob Kenchiloe, l.. Fuller, John Valenzuela, Ralph Cowan and Earl Clayridge.
 Billy Hall was first and Leslie Jen- kins second in the colt riding contest. Bud Gilman, Pete Haggard, Clarence Malley and Phil Rowland all made good showings.
 Charlie Gardner and Leslie Jenkins finished first and Chick Gowan and John Valenzuela second in the wild horse race. Other two-an teams in the race were John Key and A. B.. Capt, D. B. Jackson and Mack Brown.
 Harry Haverty finished first and Bill Armstead second in the bronco riding contest. This event was filled with excitement
 Some of the broncOs were wilder than others, Si Swyres picked a wild one that carried him out of the park, and Bill Armstead was also chucked off after a hard battle wit an outlaw. Rusty Hillman, Frank Foster, D. B. Jackson and Byron Gillespie were other entrants
 Probably no other committee had more to do in preparing it's program than the cowboy sports committed Jim Malley. Harlie Cox, Billy Wood, Jim Kinney, Henry Bahmfalk, Joe Boyle and several others were responsible for the success of the affair yesterday
 Financially, the program was sue cessful beyond even the widest hopes of the committed
