C'T Photo) (Sec pictures pages 7 and 10) If the size of the crowd at the coronation of Queen Shan non Mahoney and her Morrow County Fair and Rodeo prin cesses Is any indication, the fair and rodeo this year are going to be ono of the most success ful in history. With a "new look," the coro nation was an outstanding suc cess as n crowd pleaser, featur ing a noise parade, old-fashioned games for kids, a tug-of-war between the Jaycees and the senior Chamber of Commerce, Stars of Tomorrow amateur tnl ont from Ilermiston, and the regal appearance and coronat ion of the court. A big crowd assembled down twon to watch. the short but noisy parade, and then all hop ped Into their cars for the rodeo grounds. Tho mitna uunro lined bllltlDCr to bumper from town to the ro deo grounds for some time un til all could get settled. Heppner High school sopho mores, who had rigged up a Rube Goldberg contraption that automatically made raucous noise, won the $10 prize for making the most clamor In the parade, and freshmen, who used everything from power lawn mowers to tractors in their ef fort, won $5 for the most novel watro rf malf tiff Tinl?! Marsha Sowell received the award from Master of Cere monies Garnet Barratt on behalf of the sophomores, and Bol Dobbs represented the freshmen. The oueen and her court were mounted on horseback In the parade and made their entry in to the rodeo grounds on the horses that they will ride in the events of next week.

This event had been the occasion for considerable banter and challen ges prior to the contest. The Jay cees, who had stated that their 14 members could outpull the 00 members of the Chamber of Commerce, had their spirits dampened when 18 C of C men (and friends) hauled the young er men through a stream of water from a fire hose.

Pendleton, (Continued on page di Bull Elk Snared In Swing at Cabin, Dies Tragic Death When members of the Ernie Winchester family visited their cabin in the mountains south east of Heppner last Tuesday, they discovered a tragedy. A four point bull elk had caught his horns in rope of a swing that had been attach ed to a tree near the cabin and had failed in his efforts to free himself, eventully result ing in what the Winchesters believe was a lingering and terrible death. Apparently as the elk at tempted to extricate himself he only became the more hope lessly entangled because a secure knot had been tied around his horns by his man ipulations. The ground around the spot was torn and ripped where he had fought and work ed for freedom. The Winchesters believe that the animal had died the day before they discovered him but surmise that he had been en tangled on the spot for about two weeks. They reported the incident to game authorities who took care of the dead elk.

Severinsen is assistant di rector of the NBC orchestra, under Director Skitch Hender son, which appears on the "To night" show. He was a visitor in Heppner earlier this year and made a hit with his ap pearance at the Pendleton Round-Up festivities last year. The wedding was performed at the home of friends of Sev erinsen, and the couple is liv ing in a home that they pur chased in Belleville. N. Y., former residence of a retired army colonel. It is about a 50-minute drive from the home to the NBC studios. Mr. and Mrs. Severinsen, both of whom were previous ly married, went together dur ing the time they attended high school, and their wedding, therefore, is a belated culm ination of a youthful romance. Severinsen spent part of his boyhood in Arlington. Mrs. Severinsen expects to be in Heppner this week-end. Her two daughters, Robin and Judy Nyman. have been staving with their grandmother, Mrs. Evans, and Mrs. Severinsen will take them back to New York with her.
