Thrills and nasty spill were the order of the day, from the Initial appearance of Reg Sconschin, Muk luk buckaroo. whose dramatic entry through the chute, astride a vicious bucking black demon, heralded the formal opening of the day's exciting stunt. There was something doing every minute for fully three hour, following the opening number, and those who came for a day of ex hileratlon and fascinating excitement gave utterances to their satisfaction by repeated and enthusiastic hand- clapping and cheers for the plucky riders during the course of each suc ceeding number. Vicious Broncs So vicious were the twenty-odd broncs and critters selected for yes terday's bucking contests that, not withstanding the unparalleled eques trianism or the riders, but six of the original entrants remained to take part In Saturday's semi-finals. These men, through valiant horse manship, netted mora than fifty per cent each In the three-day events, entitling them to participation In Saturday s contest.

The first of the day's bad spills came early in yesterday's stunt rid ing, when Luke Willis, Mukluk. un dertook to parley vou with a vic ious bucking steer, who objected most trnnnuslr to the presence of the dauntless buckaroo upon his bovine crest. In its frenzied efforts to rid Itself of its unwelcome burden the ferocipus steer arched Its back and attempted a back sumeraault, throwing Willis high in the air. In such a manner that the Indian struck the earth with a violent Im pact on his head and left shoulder, rendering him unconscious and cut ting a deep gash In the victim's left ear. He was promptly attended by Dr. P. W. Sharp, who took sev eral stitches in the Injured lobe, and the semi-conscious buck was later taken to the Klamath General hospital, where It was said his con dition Is not serious. Many Riders Spilled Spill after spill from the backs of vicious wild horses and steers fur nished the throng with more than It share of palpitating- diversion, two other victims in turn being car ried like fallen gladiatora from the gory field to be patched up by Dr. G. S. Newaom and P. W. Sharp, who. with a corps of nurses and an am bulance, stood at Instant call during the day's events. Foremost among the galaxy of riding stars and driving stars en tered in yesterday's rodeo, stood Lor- ena Trlckey, world's champion cow girl, whose unparalleled courage and riding technique stamped her as complete mistress of her extensive string of mettlesome chargers. Her easy victory by at least two lengths In the half-mile Roman race fur nished grandstand and bleachers with a spectacle long to be remem bered, while her grandstand exhi bition riding at breakneck speed in every possible position atop, along side and under her horse, kept the crowd gaping with bated breath for a full half hour. "Whirlwind Annie," as Miss An nie Bernard Is known, like Miss Trlckey, though new to Klamath Falls round-up and buckiug hone contests, yet treasures a most en viable reputation throughout the country aa a skilled and daring horsewoman, and her riding 'yester day won tor her the most enthus iastic plaudits of tho big gathering.
