Arizona OUTLAWS" the Jessie James,
es and the Robin Hoods of the horse
cayuses in the southwest are now
at the Warren ranch conditioning for
the thrilling tests of supremacy with
their human rivals Johnnie Mullins,
bucking horse expert, has spent sew
eral weeks in gathering this string
together They are big, strong broncs
that refuse to be tanned and broken
for the saddle, no matter how many
times they are roped, hog-tied and
ridden.
Among the 40 odd bucking horses
that will be seen at the Bisbee
roundup are several that have never
been conquered. When such animals
as Copper Queen, Miss Douglas, c..
& A., Prospector, Lightning, Shat
tucl1-Denn Tin Town, Bisbee, Naco,
Lowell, bdh6INlllC anu OQtPAA
Springs Valley get into action, there
will be some fast and dizzy riding.
Bulldogging is perhaps the most
thrilling of all cowboy sports. 1t
demands a lightning-like speed, backed
by daring, strength and scientific
technique. Expert horsemanship is
merely an incidental requirement and
grave danger is risked by even the
most skillful. 1t takes courage OF
the first water to compete in this
, event. Red Grange making flying
tackle on q gridiron has a soft job
compared to the cowboy who makes
flying tackle from a galloping
horse to the steers horns and wrestles
it out with his much heavier and
mean opponent. The worlds official
, record at recognized contest for this
event is seven seconds and is held
, by Everett Bowman. This time was
made last fall at Cedar Rapids Iowa.
For real action, flying hoofs, dodg-
ing heads and swrling dust, you can't
, heat wild horse race. Buckins
horses as rule are halter broke
and easy to handle until YOU try
; to get on their backs. But wild
horses are wild and mean The
management has contracted for 40
. head of these broncs from two local
ranchers They will be brought in
from the range a day ahead of the
contest, having never felt rope or
the hand of man since the d2y they
were branded.
The race starts with the cowboys
assembled just outside the chute, with
= their helper and saddle ready. At a
, signal, the chute gates are opened
, and out come Mr.. ana Mrs Bronc
on the end of a rope with friend
. cowboy on the other. The helper
5 swings the saddle toward the north
f east and the horse is in the south
