Albany, Or.. July 4. Ten thousand
persona saw the second day events of
the western Oregon Round-Dp Tues
day afternoon. For nerve-racking ex
citement, with one thrill piled against
another, nothing has ever equaled It
In rtiis city. From the opening of the
program with the cowboys" pony race
until the end of the wild horse race
one hair raising event transpired after
another.
In the cowgirls' bucking contest,
Ollle Osburn of Union, who was rid
ing Grey Devil, was thrown with such
viclousness that the Red Cross
stretcher corps hurried out after her,
and she took no further part In the
day's events.
"Broncho" Bob" Hall, a Western Ore
gon product who is giving the Eastern
Oregon and Southern California cow
boys a run for the money, caused the
crowd to hold its collective breath
when, In bull-dogging & steer In front
of the grandstand, he threw the animal
with ouch force, by falling on It from
his horse, that both steer and man
turned a somersault. Hall hung on
and came up unhurt, but the steer re
mftlned down longer. He was disqual
ified. Thrilling Stunt Is stored
"Pee Wee" Holmes, the diminutive
cowboy from Los Angeles, staged a
thrilling stunt. Intentionally or not.
It happened that In the bucking horse
contest Holmes' mount took a notion
to run as well as buck and as it
lunged down the arena "Pee Wee" fell,
his 1 Ight foot remaining in the stirrup.
After being dragged for some distance
In this manner. Holmes' foot was re
leased and at the same instant the
horse turned a complete straight som
ersault and rolled over twice. Holmes
was not scratched.
Every event had Its element of dan
ger and excitement. "Broncho Bob"
Hall gave his drunken ride more dar
ingly than before, and Charlie Reed,
the Umatilla Indian, gave the Indian
version of the same ride, which con
sisted of circling the quarter-mile
track whHe swaying recklessly, stand
ing on the caddie of his brldleless
horse.
Bnokiag-Xorse Semi-Finals
Eighteen riders tried mounts In the
bucking-horse contest, with the result
that out of the two days' preliminaries,
the following will ride in the semi
finals Wednesday: Walt Whltmore.

And the other events were ell close

Wednesday morning Albany will
celebrate the Fourth with a big parade
more than two miles long, following
which there will be held patriotic ex
ercises in the park. Dan Malarkey,
Portland, will deliver a patriotic ora
tion. No less than 25,000 persons are

believe that this mark will be exceeded.

j Only Volunteers
For Regular Army
San Francisco, July 4. (I. N. S.)
That not a single soldier conscripted
into active service under the selective
draft will be assigned to the regular
army, and that for the duration of the
war. the regulars will be made up ex
clusively of men who voluntarily en
list, is the understanding here of army
officers.
Also it is the understanding that
final discharges of men clearly will
show whether they volunteered in the
first place or were conscripted, be
cause all conscripted soldiers will get
discharges that will read that they
did their "bit'' in the national army,
which will be purely a conscript army.

marksmanship because ot the fact that
SpeUman had never shot a rifle be
fore, it is said. r
