The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1923-07-19

Music Added Much
The excellent, faithful work of the
band added greatly to the enjoyment
of the days. Their playing was right
up to standard and the generous num-
Der of selections played were well
selected. At this season many reg
ular members of the band were away
including the leader, Dan Staples,
but members of the school band and
other musicians were secured and c..
b. Stewart of Paxton, who worked
many years with the city band of
Kansas City was engaged as leader,
and he got fine results from the
bunch. The well known Walter fam
lily four were with them.
Work of the Golbergs
The strong speciality of the pro-
grams was Jack Goldberg with his
rope spinning and lassoing stunts,
gun juggling and fancy riding. Col
berg is truly in a class of his own.
Rodeo fans who have followed such
things for years say they never be-
fore saw his equal. Imagine such
feats as spinning six loops at once
two from each hand, one from the
mouth and one behind him from his
belt. And, roping five horses run
ming at high speed at one throw,
with n loop. In many of his acts
Goldberg is cleverly assisted by Mrs.
Goldberg.
The Equinine Outlaw
Reservation Red, the bold bad
bronch from the Bad Lands, lived up
to his reputation and gave Charley
Evans a close call for a date with the
undertaken. Red reared in the chute
after the gates were opened, in an
effort to fall backwards, and caught
the rider between the top of a high
post and the horn of the saddle. Red
then went out of the chute but Char
ley was considerably pinched and
dropped off in a heap. The injury
proved no to be serious.
Leven o Fourd
Edward Gilbertson of Velva, N. D.,
had one of the best midway" stunts
"a fully equipped Ford touring car
free with a 75c necktie. Not one
with each tie, of course, but with
some certain, or uncertain, one. 1t
was a long shot in an absolutely
square game. A ticket went with
each tie-the purchaser retained the
stub and the ticket went into a seal
ed box. Stub and ticket were num-
bered in duplicate. Three local bust
ness men had charge Of the drawing. |
There was intense interest in the
drawing which took place at the Ford |
agency, Motor Sales building.
George Hunter, a farmer from An
telope, Sheridan county, held the
lucky ticket, No. 11O4. He bought |
only one tie. Mr.. Hunter said he
had expected to buy a Ford this fall
but was far from expecting to drive
one. home from the Wolf Point Siam
pede, as a free gift.
Came From Far and Wide
Perhaps the most remarkable thing
to be observed about the Stampede
was the great number of places and
scope of territory represented
by those in attendance. After look +
ing at the auto license tags, and the
and rooming house registers,
and talking with a few hundred peo-
pie, 1T seemed there was not a com
within two hundred miles
without a delegation present, while
of people were to be found
much greater distances. They
al went home satisfied with the show
will come again next year. The
Stampede has grown into something .
'eally big and a great responsibility
'ests on the management in the way
# preparing for next years crowd
With grounds of greater capacity.
Our Local Buck Jones
