time a. the primary ominattng e1ec-
tion. the county high school PROPOSE
tion was defeated by a vote Of ass to
356, or = majority Of $50 against.
Brandenberg and Crow Creek precincts
did themselves proud in returning
unanimous votes for county high
school.
Insidious propaganda did it, work
in defeating the high school propo.
sition. Reports were circulated that
to adopt the proposition would entail
a bonded indebtedness Of $4,000 or
$4,000 upon the taxpayers and that
the equipment would cost $4,000.
Another harmful attack was to the ef-
feet that district grade schools should
first be established and maintained be.

county high school. There were scme
who voted against the proposition be-
lieving they were voting against the
interests Of the county seat

would have accrued for additional
equipment and maintenance will no.
be forthcoming next year and the dis

function the best it may. It IL now
accredited for three years OF standard
high school work. Had the proposi-
tion carried the additional two mills
would not have been applied until the

promoters were disappointed in the
result Of the special election but they
are not dismayed. feel ing that at some
future date a majority Of the voters
will be more favorably disposed. There
was no secrecy in submitting the coun-
ty high school proposition to the vot-
ers and everything was explained in
widespread publicity.

school Broadus received 337 votes and
there were 19 scattering votes for 10.

IRONS HORSE GUSTS
NAIL ORDER COWBOY

At the first days Roundup here the
hundreds Of spectators and contestants
didn't know that rider Ne. II was
William Rosenthal. son Of the p-esi-
dent Of Sears, Roebuck 4 Co., Of Chi
cago. He was incognito and had
signed up for the saddle contest n
"Bill Rosad." To make a long story
short, Rosenthal was a game sport
when he crawled over the chute and
onto the back Of Lew Irion's black
beauty. Bilrs attire was in direct con.
trast with the western garb for he
wore puttses and shoes in lieu Of
chapps and boots and was sans yellow
silk shirt. silk muffler, Stetson hat and
spurs.
The eastern tenderfoot's face slight
" blanched when Matt Benti pulled
the blindf0ld from the mount and op.
ened the gate for the performance.
"Bill" had been intently watching
other riders and tried his best to en-
ulate their example in "opening them
up" and scratching 'em clear up into
the shoulder" It 80 happened that he
had drawn one Of the best buckers in
the corral and though his Intentions
were good. the horse started buck!ng
without persuasion. The first Jump
showed about foot Of daylight be-
tween Bill and his saddle. and this
daylight increased with each succeed
ing jump until Bill was all but perch
ed on top Of the saddle horn. He was
pulling leather" for dear life; he
couldn't stay on and he couldn't get
off. Finally after a rough handling
he struck against the pommel of his
saddle with full force. knocking the
Ind hi hAA M I@o
catapulting through the air, landing
in the dust on his back. He was be-
wildered and daed from the expert
ence and was content to lay there for
several minutes while collecting his
scattered wits. About the time first
aid was to be applied and his body
carried from the field. Rosenthal re-
covered himself and Jumped to his feet.
He said he wouldn't take $1,000 for the
novel experience and that he was quite
satisfied with the Judges decision dis
qualifying him for the prize money.
He didn't enter the riding competition
the second day.
A dramatic incident caused consid-
erable comment among the contest
ants just as Rohenthal became see ted
on his horse in the chute. Albert
Orschel ran to the arena directors and
implored them to stop Rosenthal from
riding for he had never before under
taken such q feat. The rider was un-
known and a deaf ear met the plea.
At the Roundup last year a similar
ruse was tried by two professional rid
ers and they "cleaned up when tho
contestant qualied with q pretty rid
ing exhibition.
ROsenthal is a young athlete AMI is
a student at Harvard university. He
came to Montana to visit with Albert
Orschel. a graduate of that institution.
and hey were spend 'ng a few days at
the Tarbell & Orschel ranch on Bak-
ing Powder in this county when I'll,
