Cavalry Is
Rodeo Feature
Another Feature Was the Annual
Rain, Showing Rodeo Ran
True to Form.

Inc HarQln ran true TO
form, this year, as in the years
past, in the matter of bringing
rain to a parched country. With
the thermometer registering 1O2
in the shade, hundreds were kept
away from the rodeo because of
the intense heat. However, there
were 1900 in attendance the first
day and $500 the second. Those
who came out enjoyed a good
entertainment.
While the bronze riding and 9TH
er rodeO events were good, both
days, the feature of the program
was the maneuvering by Troop B,
4th u. S. cavalry, under command
of Captain Geo. w. Busbey. Other
officers with the troopers were
Capt. Lester P. Veigel, Medical
Corps; Lieut.. E. W.. Sawyer and
First Sergt. M. Galsky. Besides
these officers there were 80 men,
IS horses, and armored car and
machine gun sections. Between
events the troopers put on drills
and maneuvers which brought lib
eral applause from those in at
tendance.
Another feature was the carni-
val of the Yellowstone Shows, the
largest that has been in Hardin
in many years, which opened last
Monday night and continues until
Saturday night. It is a good, clean
show.
1t began to look like the rodeo
was going to get by without the
annual rain storm, but about 4:30,
Thursday afternoon, a sudden
windstorm came up and when
it subsidized, about a quarter of an
inch of rain fell in two good
showers, about a half hour apart,
and the last numbers on the pro-
gram took place on muddy
grounds, but the rain cooled of
the atmosphere, and that was
worth a lot, as well as the good
it did to vegetation.
