F.. County Fair This Year


-'Fessenden. July 25.-One Of the
features which attracted much favor
able comment Mt the Wells county
fair was two mile running relay race.
Each rider had four horses, changing
at the end of half mile.
Some real wild west tactics were
used by the more skillful of the riders
in changing mounts. One lad made a
practice of hanging to his horses
neck as it came into the relay point
He aimed to let go Of his old mount
when he was a, short distance behind
the fresh one. Then with a short run
and a flying leap over the new horse s
rump he was of again.
The jockeys rode, bareback.
The race was decided in three heats
on three successive evenings and great
interest was developed in the affair
before it was decided.
