Enter the Belgrade Bull
While Jake was in Iowa the fam
Gus Belgrade bull came to his notice.
Letters from friends in Montana ad-
vised him that the Belgrade bull was
the most formidable adversary that
any "buster'' had ever tackled and
that real money was being offered to
anyone who could climb on and stay
there. Jake figured, of course, being
two thousand miles away, that the
confidence of his friends in Montana
was not misplaced and that he could
ride any c~ritter, horse or bull, that
ever stood up on four legs. Arriving
home, however, and learning of the
man-killing rep of the Belgrade bull,
Jake's confidence sustained a severe
shock. Odds of ten to one were be-
ing offered on the bull. The money
ty dollar gold pieces had been selling
for f~our-bits, Jake couldn't have pur-
chased one on the installment plan.
New Years eve, 1898, in company
with Bob Bembrick, who will verify
this statement, rode to Belgrade,
thinking it best to try out Mr.. Ok
without too large IN audience pres
ent. Jake's idea was that if hard
luck overlook him he would not feel
so bad with less people looking on.
About midnight they went to the cor
raj where they had located the bull
earlier in the evening and took him
out on the flat, half a mile from
town. The bull was saddled and at
the end of a twenty-five foot rope,
Jake straddled the bull. That part
of the program had never been &C
complished before for previously the
owners always tied the bulls head
to a post, and at that not one man
in ten ever landed in the saddle. So
take it from us, old timer, climbing
that bird at the end of a twenty-five
foot rope in the dark of midnight
a man-size job. Bembrick held
the other end of the rope by snub-
bling to a saddle. There was not
much moon but Jake thought he saw
three or four and that was before
the days of moonshine, too.
Bull Wins First Round
Certainly Jake could not see him as
he could have in daylight. About
the seventh jump the bull was jerk
ing Jake badly with a short rope he
had around the bulls horns, and Jake
admits he was being handled mighty
careless. He pulled hard on the rope
to get his balance and rest his neck
while the bull was practically stand

ABOUT THE FAMOUS BELGRADE
BULL jake ROSS RODE HlM

belongs today. And yet there is a
lot of consolation in the difference
between a has-been and a never-was.
For a never-was Jake will never be.
He won his title of champion fairly
against all contenders.
Jake eve got very far from the
ranch where he was born. The only
time he strayed far was when his
father, George P. Ross, started him
out in June, 1892, with ESQ head of
horses to sell, trade, barter, or other
wise dispose of wherever he could.
His father expected the boy to re-
turn oon with money enough to open
a bank. Jake drove the horses
through eastern Montana, North and
South Dakota and then shipped them
to Iowa, where he stayed a year and
gave them away, selling his
watch for enough money to buy a
ticket to the old range. Naturally

Madison Square Garden in New York
brings to mind another famous rider
of former days. The reminder comes
from the fact that so far as known
he never yearned for Madison Square
Garden or the bright lights of New
York. He was satisfied to do his
riding in Montana. He held the
championship of this state for many
years and was prepared to defend it
at any and all times. Naturally a
native son of Montana would favor
the range where a quarter century
ago most of the best riders held
forth.
The man to whom this story re-
fers is Jake Ross of Toston, who was
known throughout the Missouri Val
ley and for that matter all over Mon
tana as one of the most fearless and
care-free broncho twisters that eve
threw a rope on a bunchgrass thoro-
bred. Jake, as he puts it himself,
has always been picketed with a pref
ty short rope. Most of his fifty-odd
years have been spent in Jefferson
and Broadwater counties. In his day
riding was not done by rules. OF
course, pulling leather was frown-
ed upon then just as it is now, but
in those days they didn't mount them
in a chute and throw the rope to an
assistant after a few jumps when the
judges blew a whistle. Jake usually
saddled his own horse, got on himself
and got off the same way when his
mount figured he had lost the con-
test and quit.
In the COS each county, village
and precinct had one or more riders
who were looked upon as a little bet
ter than the rest and it is hardly ne
cessary to say that in Montana and
particularly the Missouri Valley,
Jake's stronghold was on the hurri-
cane deck of a festive "bronc" where
he was generally conceded to be the
premier.
They could %sunfish, change ends
switch gears in mid-air but the
still pursued 'em. While the
fingers of time have taken a
strangle-hold on Jake's windpipe and
slowed his stride, yet it is not so long
ago that he was rated far from the
has-been class where he admits he
