BILL PAWLEYHANGS
IN THE WHITE HOUSE

Washington, ID. c., July 6.-What
is said to be n of the most remark
able photographs ever taken of a
bucking broncho and rider was trans
mitted to President Harding recently
by Congressman Mondell, and 1t now
has a prominent place on the walls of
the White House. The horse, a pow
erful f~ive-year-old maverick who had
in previous years eluded successive
roundups, was photographed with the
rider astride, while standing perpen-
dicularly just IN instant before the
animal fell backwards. A miracle and
unusual agility saved the rider from
serious injury.
This remarkable picture was taken
during a wild west entertainment pro-
vided for visitors at the Phelps ranch
at Pitchfork. near Cody. The rider
was "BIn" Pawley, an old employee of
the Phelps ranch and a most daring
broncho buster.
During Mr.. l.. g. Phelps last visit
to Washington he referred to the pic
are during a that with the President,
and the Chief Executive expressed a
desire to see 1t. The unusual snap
shot was SEN TO Congressman Mon
dell, who transmitted it to the Presi-
dent. A sad feature of the incident
was the fact that since the photo
graph was sen from Wyoming the
donor has died.

Total Receipts From Three Days Show $8,857. 65- Riders,
Ropers, BuIidoggers, indians And Spectators Go Away
Satisfied---Besi Show Ever, The Verdict.

"The best show l ever saw This verdict rendered by the
people who packed the grandstands and bleachers was the COM
mittee's reward for its weeks and months of hard work and it feels
well repaid for all the effort it has put forth.
For three days our little town was a mass of color and life
jammed with horses, riders, cars. They came not only from the
towns Of the basin, northern Wyoming and Montana, but from Phil
adelphia, New York, Boston and the Pacific coast to see the unique
celebration which Cody has staged for the third time.
Chief Bird Hat and other Grow Indians arrived with their camps
and horses to lend still more color to the picturesque scenes which
West.
Owing to lack of time it is not possible for the Enterprise to
publish this week more than a meagre account of the celebration
and the results, but next week it will give itself the pleasure of
making particular mention of the events and the participants who
helped make it the success it proved to be.
Briefly, it may be said that the gate receipts showed that 5,3o5
persons were in attendance during the three days. The receipts
totaled S8s85z65.
On the 4th of July 2o79 were present, the 5th, 1912. and the 9th
1904.
AS the bills are not yet in, it is too soon to say where the asso-
citation stands financially.

Electric Storage Battery retained the
leadership Of the local market. selling
up to new high record price at ~.
A point Of the advance was subsc.
quen " lost on moderate profit t-taking
sales by those who apparently were un-
willing to take chance on the divi-
dend increase next week. The dealings
in the stock were relatively small COM
pared with the big turnover on the
Big Board, but they we're still active.
There is, Of course, considerable spec
ulation as to the dividend the directors
will declare next week. According to
the street gossip there is some division
of sentiment among the board on the
question. It is seldom, however, &C.
cording to the history Of the stock mar
ket, that the "tickcr" errs In fore
casting an event, especially when 1t
comes TO the matter Of dividend. The
tape for some time apparently fore.
shadowed a quarterly dividend OF at
least l per cent, thereby placing the
stock on a 4 per cent basis. With the
old dividend rate retained, which would
DC equivalent 10 @O OH inc neW UT pTcs-

a return Of approximately 8.3S per
cent. which would be out Of line with
that Of other industrial issues.
Trading in the general list was in
clined to be quiet which was to be cx-
pected in view of the growing cross
currents in the general market situa-
ton, and the attitude Of most Of the
leading houses in endeavoring to dis
courage over extension Of speculative
accounts, and the wisdom Of profit
taxing. Most Of the local shares, despite
the slowing down displayed a steady
tone and price variations were con.
fined within narrow limits.
Pennsylvania Railroad benefited to
some extent by the highly favorable
showing made by the entire system for
April. This showed an increase Of $3.-

the month. and an increase of $40. 12J..
Coz in net for the first four months Of
the calender year. The exhibition was
considered very gratifying in face Of
