petition of the one run Wednesday,
with few additional events, at
tracted a crowd of more than 1000
men, women and children. Automo-
biles formed complete circle
around the sport field, and the
grandstand was we'll filled while sew
eral hundred clustered on the side
lines and around the pens in con-
slant danger of being run down by
rambunctious steers, calves, goats
and bucking ponies.
The cowboys themselves, were one
and all enthusiastic about the pro-
pram, asserting the animals that
were provided for them to cope
with were the widest and fastest
that had offered in rodeo in many
years.
There were many attractions at the
round up that were not on the pro-
gram but which aroused frequent
outbursts of applause and laughter
The frequent appearance of Pete
Haverty, the well-knoWn one-legged
cowboy from oft Huachuca, who rode
and roped with almost miraculous
skill, always brought an outburst of
applause and gasps Of amazement.
Between the various events and in
the occasional dull moments yester-
day, two clowns, Andy Anderson and
Pecos Coker, amused the crowd with
their antics and risked their necks,
apparently, at frequent ''foo1 riding"
of steers and wild horses. Jack
Medows, of Rucker Canyon, held the
megaphone.

on the grounds, a free shave and

agreement. The judges awarded it

protested at overruling the judicial
decision, and it was finally agreed
that Eaton would take the shave

| boys dance was held at Mobley's
Oasis ranch near Douglas, with cow
boy music, cowboy lunch, cowboy
dances and everything.
