CHAMPION BULL-DOGGERSTO MEET AT ROUND-UP
Visitors to the 1911 Round-up this
fall are destined to witness one of the
most thrilling and spectacular con
tests ever pulled off between man and
man in this section of the world If
plans go not awry. This contest will
be nothing other than a meoting be
tween the two greatest "bulldoggers"
of steers which western plains liave
produced, both of whom have held
the title of champion, Dell ltlanchett
and "Buffalo" Vernon.
Plans to get these two steer wrest
lers together before the Round-up
crowds this fall liave been under way
for several months and a letter Just
received from Vernon practically as
sures the contest. Vernon signifies
hls willingness to meet Blnnehett and
a contract has been forwarded to hlin
to sign. Blanchett has already sign,
ed to come so that It seems that noth
ing can stand in the way of the meet
ing.
Met Oiu" IWTore.
There Is great rivalry botwoon these
two men and their contest this fall
will not be the first time they heve
met for supremacy In their uxclting
specialty. Iist year during the Fes
tival of the Dawn of gold at Sacra
mento, they met, at which time the
title of champion was wreBted from

Vernon. The latter, therefore, Is
more than desirous of meeting his
lanky opponent again and It is prob
able that they will make a little side
bet by way of showing their faith In
their own powers.
Besides their ability In throwing a
steer barehanded, both men are pro
ficient with the rope and are sched
uled to give dally exhibitions with
their lariats, Blanchet is also
buckaroo of repute and his wife Is
credited with being tho champion wo
man broncho buster of tho world and
both will bo seen ustrlde some of the
Round-up "outlaws."
Ktiitfo Couches Secured.
At the meeting of the Round-up
association last evening, the an
nouncement was made that at least
two stage coaches will be brought
here to participate in the array of
frontier features. In addition to the
one found on the llonifcr ranch near
Gibbon, another has been located hj
Exhibition Manager Moorhouso on
tho Nelson farm near Walla Walltt
and the owner has offered It to the
Roundup. If these old pioneer car
riers can be made sufficiently strong,
they will be pitted against each other
in a race, if not they will be used for
exhibition purposes only,

Mrs. McManigul, after visiting him

Mrs. McManlgal says her husband

Strain is Champion.
Councilman Strain, who has cham
pioned the move to get the wires
underground, is earnestly for it and
hopes for success though he has
made no canvass of the council upon
the subject. Mr. Strain particularly
favors getting the electric wires
underground because of the danger
firemen are subject to when fires
break out in the business section at
this time.
However, Mr. Strain has no defi
nite plan worked out for bringing the
Improvement about and says he de

one way or the other. He wants the
