Racing Program Best Euer Put Ut
In Idaho County--H Horses From
Al Ouer Northwest viii
Be On Hand

Running races on a more elaborate
scale than att mpted at any previous
Idaho county fair will be- one Of the
departures from the former rodeo
shows that, it is believed, will be en-
thusiasticly received by the visitors
at this falls fair which commences
September Is, one week from next
Monday. Not only are the purses
offered much larger, but the race
program includes several additional
events, making it well worth the
while of owners of fast horses to
run at this falls fair.
This years race program. which
has been tentatively announced by
the entertainment committee, covers
wide range of events of suffi-
GENTLY different character to pre-
vent interest from tagging. The
three main events each day are the
two running races, with purses of
$500 and $225, and the cowboys re-
lay race with a purse of 5000.
Two fast strings of horses have al
ready arranged to come to Grange
vile to participate in the running
events, and three relay strings have
already lined up for this event In
the relay event the entertainment
committee will insist on cowgirl rid
ers, if available, for one day.
Fast Events Assured
All purses are arranged in such
way that the owners of fast horses
will be literally repaid for their
trip to Grangeville, and yet arranged
so that no one or two horses will be
permitted to monopolize the honors
in every race. Fair crowds are as
sured clean, fast races between
horses an evenly matched as possible.
There will be daily cowboy races,
open to bona fide cowboys only, and
riding ranch horses, cowgirl races
with the same rules applying, genu-
inc Indian races, Indian girl races,
and a program of novelty races that
will be changed each day land in
Idaho County free press. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho Territory) 1886-current, 1924-09-04

which both horses and automobiles
will be used.
The race program which follows is
a tentative one, the committee ex-
plains, and subject to such revisions
and rearrangements as it appears
will best meet the desires of horse
owners wishing to run at the fair and
at the same time give the fair crowds
the fastest exhibition possible.

thieves got two dozen of his best ones

that one of his neighbors, Mr.. Harry

When questioned, Mr.. Lindsey said
that he was almost sure that the
thieves were of the automobile var
iety. In fact a suspicious auto was
seen stopped near these places on the
evening the chickens were stolen.
Perhaps If we had law like Mis-
