Texas Holds Roping
 Record Made in 1884

San Angelo, Texas, Aug. 26 R- Jack Miles. constable here, holds one worlds record which Is apt to go unchallenged. Niles record of 10 Is seconds for roping and tying steers weighing as much as 1850 pounds was set in 1884 and now it is almost impossible to find steer that heavy outside of the feed pens.
 Miles would meet any man in de- fence of the record, although he says he is not as "spry" as he was cnce.
 The constab!e's challenge re- vealed that the rope is suffering an eclipse in West Texas. Few cow hands know how to lasso a steer now and the rope is disappearing from their equipment. Cattle are herded in pens instead of on the open range.
