yeur as the result of the decision of
the Judges In the Round-Up contest
Saturday. George Fletcher, the Pen
dleton colored boy, was declared win
ner of the second prize and Jason
Stanley of Los Angeles, the wluner of
the third.
However, had the spectators have
been tho f nal Judges, George Fletcher
would undoubtedly have won the
handsome first prize saddle, for he
was plainly the favorite, and when
he rode around tho track after the
contest was over he wns greeted with
a deafening roar of upplause. In Jus
tice to die Judaea, H should be said
that they based their decision on the
last ride. In th!s Spain drew a much i
worse horsy than Fletcher, getting the
redoubtable "Long Tom" and he made j
a good ride on tli.it famous bueker
The negro drew "Hid," a mediocre j
bueker. and ne rode h.m loose and '

ti ed to steady himself by "pulling I

forced to choke the biscuit when he
mounted "Sweeney." Buffalo Vertiou
rode ".lit" iii good style, while Jack
Sundown, an Indian, intidc a epectac
Ulor ride on "Whirlwind." John Spain
stuck to ".Star" without any apparent
difficulty and Jason Stanley was easl- j
ly tne ma' ter of "snip a contortions.
James Ghangrow made a good ride
on "Snake" wh.le Glen Cox could not
be shaken by "Nancy Hanks." George
Fletcher drew "Hot Foot," the llttlo
black bueker that had made such a
sweeping record of throws, and it was
In this rido that he won the admira
tion of the crowd by his magnificent
exhibition t,f the art of broncho bust
ing Hank McGrnth on "William

thus the f.nnl struggle reolved Itself
Into a racial strugglo with a member

King contest and reestablished his
claim to being the best man In the
world In this event when he threw his
second steer directly In front of the
grand stand In one minute and 31 sec
onds Riving htm a total of 2:44. J.
K. Rrlsco of Los Angeles was second
with a total time of 4:43. Dell Blan

" failed to get a throw and were thus
disqualified.
Roy Kelley ably defended his title
to tho northwest championship In the
cowboys' relay race when he finished
several seconds ahead of D. Young,
his nearest competitor. However, he

Because he, like Nero, was fond of
carousing and liked to watch the spec1

landed behind the bars of the county
Jail last Saturday cven.ng. In tho
midst of his drunken enjoyment, he
sat down in the midst of a pile of
rubhl&'n In tho rear of the Oregon
theater and deliberately struck a
match to it.
A number of passerHby, among
them Glen Cannon, druggist at Koep

and immediately pounced upon the
man and held h.m until the officers
arrived, the rubbish had blazed up
freely and an alarm was turned In,

ROUND-UP RECEIPTS
IRE THAN 23,000
The receipts from the sale of tick
' t lor the three days performance
oi the Round-Up aggregated a little
over $23,000, according to the figures
of George Hartman, manager of fi
nances, and Treasurer Roy Ritnor.
This amount means that there there
were something over 31.000 paid adr
missions to the big show. Then ac
cording to the estimates of tho offi
cers, there were enough performers,
officials and guests present to swell
the total attendance of tho three days
to the 35.000 mark.
Although none of the reports of
the different officials are In yet, It Is
estimated that the cost of the produc
tion of the show this year was be
tween 10,000 and $11,000 which will
leave enough of a surplus to pay oft
all outstnndinrr obligations and leave
a balance to start with next year.
