the big grass crop. There were
not as many of the widely known,
professional arena performers as
usual but that fact resulted in an
even better show from the view
point of the spectators. The broncs
were fat and strong and full OF
fight. the long horned steers stub
born and rubbernecked, and the
calves fleet and plenty big. A fair
percentage of the trials found the
beasts on the winning end, and
that seemed to make a hit with
the crowd, especially as there
were no serious accidents to the
riders.
Horse Collision
The most spectacular and I'M
expected accident happened Sat
urday afternoon. 1t cost the lives
of two fine horses and was declar-
ed by such rodeo veterans as Jack
Coats and Powder River Slim to
be without a parallel in their long
experience.
Near the end of the bronc riding
consultations a saddled bucker and
a bareback bucker, running swift
ly toward each other, on the south
west sector of the race track, col
lided squarely, head to head. Both
dropped like knocked-out boxers,
side by side, heads straight to the
east, feet to the north, The bare
back horse was stone dead and
did not even culver. The other
only moved a leg or two and heav-
ed his sides, plainly dying. A shot
from a revolver put an end to its
misery. The names of neither
horse was learned, but they be-
longed to Harry Mcleod of West
fork. Both were Immediately
dragged from the arena
Riders Close Call
Lee Unger, about rs, a rider who
registered from Covelo, California,
was still aboard the bareback when
the crash came. He was violently
thrown and fell between the two
horses but crawled out. The ambu-
lance, that was kept in readiness,
rushed him to a physicians office
where he was examined and kept
under observance for an hour. He
suffered from shock and a heavy
blow in the abdomen, and the tend
ons of a wrist were torn. He was
taken to his camp and the care of
his wife who was here with him.
Ably Managed
The 1882 Stampede management
deserves the many compliments
and favorable comments directed
at it. Putting on and over the an
nual Stampede is always a big job
and in a season like the present
was beset with extra hazards.
Jim Terry in the role of general
manager, Jay Cusker as arena di-
rector, A. w. Huxsol as efficiency
man, and Bruce Randall, clerk,
we're on the team for the first time
and made good in emphatic style.
D. T. Stennes, o. c. Johnson, John
Coffey, A. T. Listug, AL Appelgren,
Fred Fathert, /. L. Jensen, the
peace officers and the whole com
nittee, while veterans in the work,
put extra pep and effort in this
years job. The contest judges,
Steve Marmon, James Mcdonald
md Sig Cusker gave the maximum
satisfaction, as usual.
Open Street PIeases
The new policy, adopted this
.eason, of keeping all concessions
if the main business street and
n the i~ntersecting streets, appear
ID to please everybody, excepting,
Ierhaps. some of the concession
Tres. To keep the street open for
Sc when most needed, and free
rom damage, made better bust
.ess, greater convenience to the
ublic, and is a sensible method
or which the city and Stampede
deserve great credit.
18th Annual Echoes
The friendly cooperation of the
ewspapers in surrounding towns
4 mentioning the Wolf Point show
yas noted by the management and
luch appreciated.
