Ever f ince Old Baldy showed the world that college professors and mathematicians can be fooled with just a dash of good oP horse sense and some ... horse pulling, Lebanon has been trying to prove that man is a match for the pa tient barnyard beasts. It hasn't been done. Now comes man's idea of pit ting horse against matter. The newest horse-pulling contest will find a horse on one end of a 300 foot rope and a half ton of sand at the other end. The date U September 4 at Lebanon Meadows at 2:30 in the afternoon. It all started with a group of, .men discussing the merits of horses. finally one of the group, Tellis Ward, who lives on Park street, owns a ranch east of the city, and ha been an employe of the Crown Zellerbach paper mill for 29 years, said he formerly owned a saddle horse that could pull a 190 pound sack of sand at the end of a 100 foot rope at will. He was the receiving end of a group ef dis-believers. "By golly. I've got a horse now that i can pull 1,000 pounds ofl aandj at the end of 300 feet of rope,' and enough money to cover anyone that doubts me," Ward declared Enough doubters were In the rowd to "call" him. The animal which Ward will use is a 1900-pound piece of! Worse-meat named Prince, 10 years Id, part of a team that Ward has owned for three years and which be used to snake logs out of the forest last summer.
