belongs today. And yet there is a
lot of consolation in the difference
between has-been and never-was.
For a never-was Jake will never be.
He won his title of champion fairly
against all contenders.
Jake never 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 soon 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 year and
finally gave them away, selling his
watch for enough money to buy
ticket to the old range. Naturally

"HE recent controversy between
Yakima Canutt and a number OF
- other eminent gentlemen regard
ing the holding of future rodeos al
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 ever
threw rope on a bunchgrass thoro-
bred. Jake, as he puts it himself,
has always been picketed with 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 chute and throw the rope to an
assistant after a few jumps when the
judges blew 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 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 I
premier.
They could sunfish, change ends
or switch gears in mid-air but the
villain still pursued 'em. While the
cruel fingers of time have taken a
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
The circle banner. [volume] (Circle, Mont.) 1914-1939, 1923-11-16

he has never since dared to stray lar
from his old haunts.
Enter the Belgrade Bull
While Jake was in Iowa the fam
Gus Belgrade bull came to his notice.
Letters from friends in Montana adj
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 critter, 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
part looked best to Jake for if TWEEN
ty dollar gold pieces had been selling
for four-bits, Jake couldn't have pur-
chased one on the installment plan.
New Years eve, 1893, in company
with Bob Bembrick, who will verify
this statement, rode to Belgrade,
thinking it best to try out Mr.. Ok
without too large an 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 ac-
before for previously the
owners always tied the bulls head
