Bronco Race Was
An Exciting Event
The wild bronco race was the at
traction at the fair ground Wednes
day morning and a large crowd of
Interested sightseers witnessed one
of the most entertaining features of
the week.
This stnnt was the taking In hand
by the contestants Lloyd Yancey,
Roy Rltter and Melvln Crane of
unbroken colts, saddling, mounting
and running a mile race on them.
The event took place on the track In
front of the grand stand. Each man
had one helper In roping and sad
dling his mount and the progress of
the work was keenly watched and
enjoyed by all who witnessed It. Fi
nally, by the tricks known to those
who handle horses, the saddles were
cinched on and the horses were all
lying down, with the rider on top
ready to slip Into the saddle as the
nulmal rose. The hobbling roies
were removed and at the word "go"
the horses we urged to their feet and
the bucking commenced; that Is, In
the case of Yancey and Rltter it did,
but Crane's untamed terror did little
else except to go In the desired direc
tion. Yancey got away ahead of the
others, Rltter's horse wasting a lot
of time by bucking up the track In
the wrong direction, but eventually
all were around the track at a fair
rate of speed. At the last turn on
the homestretch Crane's horse took
out across the sagebrush, but was
finally herded back on the track and
the finish was made In the order of
Yancey, Crane and Rltter. The
prises were awarded In the order of
the finish. Yancey received 40 and
the others 920 each.

Storm Warnings for
Crook County
Through the efforts of R. B. Tost, ;
who has been In Crook county dur
ing the past year measuring streams
for reports to the V. S. Ueographlcnl
Survey, Prlueville and Crook county
Is to be supplied from the Portland
weather bureau with warnings of the
approach of severe storms and of ex
treme cold weather by telephone.
This concession has been granted by
the weather Bervlee with the under
standing that the Information sent
to Prtnevllle is to lie disseminated to
all parts of the county upon Its re-,
ceipt here, and this part of the serv
ice has been guaranteed by W. F.
King, one of our prominent business
men.
Mr. Post snys that the service will
probably be avalluble within a
month, or as Boon as all the custom
ary red tape usually counected with
government departments has been
gone through with.
Such a service. It Is held, will be of
great value to farmers and stock
men, as It will advtee them at least
24 hours ahead of the upproach of
severe storms and cold snaps, and
being forewarned they will le able to
get unprotected stock Into feeding
quarters and shelter before the storm
arrives or to minimize the damage to
crops by getting hay out of the fields
or by not cutting, aud In dozens of
different ways that lossr scould not
be avoided without a fore kuowl-
edge of what kind of weather may
! be looked for.
I If put Into effect the service will
doubtless be popular, aud will prove
of great Interest as well as economic
value to Crook county residents.
Drs. Gray & Gray, the dentists
now at the Prinevllle, are busy from
morning until night and will not be
able to g.'t away from town for an
other week. Parties having work to
I be done should cull and muke dates
ahead. o21
Near Beer Election
May Be Held
From the present outlook it is proba
ble that there will be sn election held
in Prineville under the referendum on
the near beer ordinance which was
passed by the council early in the year.
Judge Bradshaw has sustained the
demurrer to the complaint in the re
straining injunction asked for by the
friends of thenear-beerordinance.sothst
now unless the representatives of the city
law make some further move in the
matter the election will be called as
asked for in the petition.
It will be remembered that the
council pa seed a near beer ordi
nance, and that a referendum petition
was signed by the required number of
legal voters, asking that special elec
tion be called and the ordinance sub
mitted to all the voters of the city.
Friends of the ordinance then attacked
the referendum petition on the grounds
that the paper on which it was prepar
ed was not of the right width and that
the expense of a special election w
too great, etc., and asked that a re
straining injun:tion be put in (fleet
which would prevent the holding of an
e'ection on the ordinance. The near
beer people then file! demurrer to
this, and this demurrer has been ap
proved by Judge Bradnhiw. This
leaves the field clear to submit the ordi
nance to the vote of the city resident
in December. It seems that there was
some misunderstanding about the date
of the city election in December, so
that the date of the election for the or
dinance and that when the city officials
are elected fail on different dates. If
the ordinance election is held it will
probably occur on the same day as the
regular town election.
