Pat and Harry; Demoss Bergevan

Dayton.
The first rider tried cow and
was Immediately thrown. Joe
Svantonsky dismounted from Bald
Hornet before he was thrown off
but rode his COW. Van Kilmer rode
his COW over the line; so did Roy
Hulse, but was thrown after the
COW crossed the line.
Ed Barger rode Hells Angels until
the crowd cried enough. Francis
johnson put up a pretty ride on
Columbia Girl. Van Kilmer stuck to
Shanghai Ill, but lost his stirrup
Herb Owens drew a slow horse in
Happy Days and was later given a
reride on Firecracker-a good ride
and a good horse.
Grin Lande and Roy Andrews
rode their cows and dismounted
like veterans after their rides. A
calf about to escape the ropine
chute at this time was bulldogged
by "Rock" Richmond, much to the
amusement of the cash customers
in the grandstands.
B. w. Baker made the best time
of the day in calf roping, with an
elapse time of 262 seconds from the
time the calf left the chute until he
was tied. Demoss Bergevan took
35.4 seconds and r. j. Burke, sc
seconds. Harry Owens missed his
first thpow and was trying for the
second. A previous calf was ambling
about the arena and Harry took
after the wiring calf. Joe Svanton-
sky caught his calf by the hind
feet on the second throw, and as
the horse took up the slack the cincf
broke, splitting saddle and rider on

Real and personal property in
Benton county was assessed at $4.-
786.3S0, an increase Of $575,5 $50 COM
pared with last years assessment,
Jay Perry, chairman of the board
of commissioners, said Tuesday, as
the commissioners opened their ses-
sion as a tax equalization board.
The sum does not include the as
sessed valuation of corporation prop
erty, such as railroad and public
utility properties, which last year
were assessed at $597,99 The
board received numerous applica-
tions for reductions in valuations at
the opening session as an equaliza-
ton board.
Perry said that the higher valua-
ton was due to the fact that mucn
property in the Horse Heaven hills,
which is planted to wheat, had been
added to the roll and many prop
erty improvements which had not
been assessed heretofore were added
to the roll.
The assessed valuation of the
county last year was $4,709 Dos, in

ONE KILLED;
ARMS BUSTED:
BOMB BURNS
Indian Performer Dies of
Rodeo Injury; Riders Arm
Snapped; Pitcher, too Stout
for Ball

While not single spectator was
injured in Kennewick's celebration,
four of the participants received
more or less serious injuries, includ-
ing the death Of one.
The first accident occurred at the
opening of the celebration at the
rodeo arena on the third. The fir
ing of a bomb was to mark the
opening Of the show. r. p. Cassie, o
city employee, volunteering to help
with the firing Of the bomb, had
the misfortune to have the thing
explode almost in his face. go
AS q result of the explosion the
right side of his face was badly
burned, an eye and an ear injured.
He is in the hospital at Pasco where
he is recovering, although the burns
are still very painful. He will not
lose the sight Of his eye as was
first feared.
On the Fourth Francis johnson,
an Indian from Pendleton, was SO
severely injured internally that he
passed away at Pasco hospital late
that night. He was riding q buck
ing horse, fell or was thrown and
the horse stepped on him over the
heart. He was taken to the Pasco
hospital where every effort was
made to save his life, but the injury
was too severe.
The third accident occurred to
Bryce Baker, one OF the most color
full of the rodeo participants. He was
''hazing" for Richmond, who was
bulldogging a steer which got tangl-
ed up in a wire fence. The steer
went down, the horse fell over it,
rolling completely over its rider.
The horse, Sonny, Bakers pet,
scrambled up to its feet, and trotted
back to see what happened to Bak-
er. The crowd gave gasp Of re-
lief when Baker finally sat up,
showing that he wasn't seriously
injured. Investigation showed that
his arm was broken near the shoul-
der, and he did not suffer internal
injuries.
A most unusual accident happen
ed at the ball game, when the pit
cher on the Richland team, play
ing with the Highland team, broke
his arm pitching ball. Such an
accident is quite rare in the annals
OF sport. He, too, is In the Pasco
hospital where the arm was set.
