Great Crowd Sees An Array
Of Buckaroos and Bucka
rettes Perform In Big
Klamath Rodeo
Dare-devil buckaroos and buck-
arettes held the throng of thous
ands who crowded the grandstand
and bleachers at the fair grounda
yesterday, agape at their exhibition
of .courage and superb barseman
shlp during the opening events of
the three-day rodeo, the seventh of.
it kind to be held in Klamath Fail.
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.
Trlrkey a Sensation
Judges In yesterday'a .bucking
contests were Holly Swingle and Joe
Shirk of Klamath Falla, and Seth
Dixon of Fort Klamath. These men
will act In a similar capacity during
the remainder of the rodeo. Racing
Judges are Llndsey Sisemore of Fort
Klamath, Gene Hammond of Merrill
and Roy Hickman, Klamath Falls.
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.
In yesterday's first race, a half
mile free-tor-all, for which a 1100
purse was hung up, Carl Cum was
first under the wire, with Doc Hayes
a close second. Time 52 seconds.
In the second event, a quarter
