 Dear Boss: Say! There's a wild west show in town. Did you know that? Yessirl It's the biggest skillet Of news I've run across this week and 1 think you ought to know about it.
 It's home-brewed, and everybody in town from the most prominent citizen down to the dirtiest Smoki from the Rim is having a hand in putting the big show across. It's the pure quill, it's lulu, it's a hook 'cm-cowboy, turn 'em over wild, 1922 model, regularly equipped, red enameled and runs on INT with the muffler wide open. Lester is the chauffeur and Grace is. the Sparkes plug.
 The actual firing began yesterday morning at 9 a. m. when 1I5 cow boys roped and tied 78 bullicks, the names and time of which you'll find in another part of your paper.
 Oojah Ruffner Starts
 At one pip emma came the pic tmesque parade of polite punchers and puncheresses. Free! Two thou sand people accompanied the riders 10 the arena, and promptly at 7 Oojah Ruffner kicked the starter.
 The first thing that happened was the cow-pony race which turned out to be no whiskaway for anybody. . Zee Hayes entry with Harry Mon tana aboard sputtered in winner. And the last man was scarcely under the wire when a bright young calf came out escorted by John Osborne. Bop Orr then pushed off on his black Morgan horse to a brisk tune.

Curley Gray threw once but didn't assay a trace, but caught on the second try. The riata man broke his rope after a sweet catch. Cooper gave an exhibition of rope spinning but failed to couple on. There were several long timers "a minute or more.
 Oojah Pulls the Lever
 Just then Oojah Ruffner pulled a new lever and a solemn-faced steer meandered out, trailed by Lee Rob inson and Frank Stevens. Half a score other teams followed with vary ing luck, some of the hardest being the breaking of Pop Heath's rope after a speedy catch with the Doctor.

Later he was given another noun; and rode right into the money with this steer. Carter Bros. made slash ing rides, and now Jim knows who kicked all those big steers down on the ranch. Ed Hamblin gave Us a little of the spice when he reversed and rode west, his face eastward ho. Lone Oyerton finished a bas. FranI, Stevens and Bill Clark looked like some money.
 Rangeland Relay
 The rangeland relay was a swift meeting. Five teams. Glenn showed off his old garoobuh well in the lead, but old \. B. Tyree just naturally out ran him at the next station and beat him out with the Candidate second. Round and round they went with Tyree winding up in the hundred dollar pot and the Candidate seizing the fifty. After which everybody took long breath and turned ther expectant gazes toward the bulldog gers.
