(By Toussaint Dubois)

(By TOu6Sa1nt DuDOlS)
The annual stampede at Henry
Idaho, commenced on Thursday
August 14th with a cry of HOOP
'em Cowboy" and cloud of dust
big hats, bright colored shirts and
kerchiefs. Twenty one professional
riders, most of whom are to take
part in the bucking contest at the
Salt Lake Frontier Day Exhibition
next week, were contestants. This
is eighteen more professionals than
took part last year. 1t is interest
ing to note that seven of these were
thrown the first two days. This
speaks we'll for our horses for such
men as Powder River Thompson,
who took first money at Madison
Square Gardens, New York, c. R.
williams with his $500 diamond and
ruby set spurs and $50 beaver hat,
who has taken prizes for many
years at Madison Square Gardens,
Bozeman, Montana, Fort Worth,
Texas and all the large places, Bob
Asker, who has taken 4th money
in London and prizes at FIT. Worth,
Texas and Jess Coates, who among
other honors won first money this
year at Bozeman, Montana, do not
take fall before the final day easily.
We were proud of our local boys
when Bert Sibbets, formerly of
Blackfoot, won second place in the
finals on Broken Bones" the horse
which threw Bob Askens the first
day and Jared C. R. Williams self
assurance and confidence to the
ground the second day. This was
remarkable because Bert
Sibbets is a young rider in compar-
ison to the other professionals and
it was only the fourth time he had
ridden in a committeeman saddle
instead of the regular bucking one.
The other two winners of the hard
contest were, first, Howard Tegland
of Salt Creek, Montana, who won
first money at Wemberly, London
this year and at Madison Square
Gardens last year, and third place,
Frank Studnick, winner of 3rd world |
at Pendleton, Oregon /
In 1928 Bert Sibbets also held |
the second place in the wild horse |
race He comes Of family en-
lowed with plenty of good nerve.
His brother was one of the aviators

Another local man to win honors
It Henry this year was Archie CODY,
me of our Indians. Archie rode in
he final bucking contest and in the
teer roping contest, during which
le broke two fingers on his right
land. The next contest was the

hat last day on account of the ter
ific wind which carried the rope
