WEEKLY JOURNAL-MINER, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 9, 1913. FRONTIER SPORTS FULL OF THRILLS Clever Exhibitions by Horsemen Varied Feats Keep Crowd of Five Thousand Excited (From Saturday's Daily.) Those residents of Prescott of twenty years ago had their memories pleasantly refreshed yesterday as the magnificent spectacle of 150 cowboys mounted on their range horses again swept through the streets of ihe city, and wended their way to the old racetrack. The grand parade was an excellent reproduction of the old days, and the personnel was reflective of the familiar forms who made the wheels go roimd rapidly, when there was something on the boards in skill and daring that was again enacted yesterday, and excited the admiration of those of the present day ss it did in the era that has vanished into the dim distance. The grand entry on the field of sports was headed by Mr. and Mrs.

Thomas Mix, of the Selig Polyscope Company, graceful in their pose and with that mien that assured the day's doings were to be pulled off satisfactorily to the five thousand spectators scattered from one end to the other of the enclosure. It was a cowboy event, in tune with the sentiment which actuated it and toned up with actors that clearly and cleverly conceived their mission to portray Frontier Day, as it was intended in the beginning. In short, it was a great day and was made so by the greatest gathering that had ever congregated at that point. The scene was inspiring, and the only departure from other days was the hundred or more gasoline wagons. Otherwise the spectacle was like "summoning from the shadowy past the forms of those once familiar." The day was ideal and was not marred by the slightest accident to any who attended or any who participated in the thrilling feats of the range.

To add to the pleasure, there was no friction among contestants and the decisions of the judges were pronounced as fair and impartial iiri very -fflstan'ee. Individual credit should be wholesomely extended to Charles Hooker, of Yavapai; Thomas Wells, of Pinal, and Oscar Roberts, of Maricopa counties, who presided as judges. Thomas E. Campbell acted as announcer, while Marshall Stedman, of the Selig Polyscope Company, rendered valuable assistance in arranging the program, which was carried out on the field by Geo. C.

Ruffner, as chairman of the sports committee. Fancy Trick Exhibition. The first event was the cowboy trick and fancy roping exhibition, in which. Harry Knight proved the victor over Tom Mix. The former is a marvel with the riata, and his feats were a revelation to the throng.

He throws the rope with that precision as to catch the horse at full speed, either on the front or hind foot, and to make the play good, he rces the entire nnimal and rider, -with that ease and skill as to place him in a class by himself. One of his remarkable accomplishments was 1U5.1HI 'J (standardized) For AN Livestock EASY AND KILLS LICE. TICKS. FLEAS. MITES.

He closed his engagement with the riata by an exhibition of twirling it around himself, in loops of various sizes, and jumping in and out of the plaything to the amazement of all. Mr. Mix is also skilled, and was contented to receive the second prize, which he well earned. This feature proved the drawing card of the day, and has never before been equalled in this section in the variety of the stunts both men so cleverly executed. Trick and Fancy Riding.

Another interesting cowboy exhibition was the trick and fancy riding in which George Hooker carried off the first prize. This horseman performed daring feats, such as had never before been witnessed. At full speed he would swing from the ground into the saddle, and before he was through would climb from one end to the other of his steed which never re- laxed its gait for an instant. Hooker was said to be at a disadvantage in his feats, riding a horse that was picked out of the bunch, and not knowing its habits, as he was performing his acts. Skill and grace marked his every act, and his exhibition received the applause of every one.

Hooker is somewhat of a celebrated character on the range, formerly being with the Buffalo Bill Wild West and 101 Ranch shows. He recently came to this city with the Selig Polyscope Company. He also stated yesterday to friends that when a young man he resided in Prescott and served under the late General George Crook, as a scout. In his line he is a "hard nut to crack," and well earned the first prize money. Goat Roping Contest.

Bad luck prevailed in the brute to the ground.

The majority of the cowboys were only slightly acquainted with the little "critters" and took pot luck as it were. W. Y.

Peck pulled off the first mohair prize of $15 and Oscar Roberts captured his goat, taking second money a few seconds behind. The other contestants either failed to score or clipped off nearly a''. and one-half seconds, minute. I Horses Disappointing. For the wjld horse race there were SAFE TO USE.

A TRIAL. Orders to CANDY CO. Arizona BOOKLETS. plenty of the rawest mustangs that ever roamed the range, but their bucking propensities were sadly lacking, as far as the capability of the performers was to be considered. While of the outlaw class, they failed to deliver the goods to a single rider, and some of the boys were disgusted that the program in this respect proved disappointing to the hundreds of people present.

This stunt was to be carried out by the horse and rider leaving the grandstand and re-entering the corral about a quarter of a mile distant, with two moneys for the winning and the second animal. The horses were the worst specimens ever seen in this city, but were sadly lacking in getting up steam under the saddle. The event was humoious, however, and W. B. Peck, of Ash Fork, returned first and Harry Knight second.

Broncho Busting Tame. Broncho busting has always held the top hand in this section as the drawing card of cowboy sports, and in years gone there have been sent out of this country several riders who have distinguished themselves as professionals. But yesterday there was pitiably lacking the old-time horseflesh that thrilled the people fL'ts vicious inclinations to paw the 'ground to a jelly or to hit the high places to dislodge the rider. On the other hand there were present the same old busters as of other days, just as good, and they got all of the fire out of the outlaw that was possible, but with little consolation to either themselves or the many spectators who were waiting for something of the old order to be pulled off. There were twelve entries for this event, and all were in the saddle.

The finals will take place today, when the judges will give their decision. It is probable there will be some new horseflesh rounded up in the meantime, one of the best riders stating that he would like to get on the hurricane deck of some of the old 'uns so that the people would get a run for their money and satisfaction to overflow- ing. borne ot the best riders in. Arizona are present, in John Fredericks, Harry Loverin, Tom Mix, Harry Knight. Vic Frith, Clyde Merris, E.

Peck, Roy B. Lewis, Reese Brown, Harry Henderson and others. Steer Bull Dogging. Steer bull-dogging relieved the broncho busting to a marked degree, which there was skill used and nerve exercised in each instance that thrilled all. This act consists of the horseman riding at full speed after his animal and throwing his game to the ground with his own hands.

All participants were daring, and at full speed caught steers, also under full swing. Harry Knight proved the victor in this event, catching and throwing to the ground his steer in twelve and one-half seconds. His was a wonderful exhibition of nerve and accuracy, and ft 1 .1. ner. Tom Mix had the misfortune to have his steer interfered with by another coming on the track, when he was compelled to postpone the attack to throw it to the ground, several watches giving the loss of time at least five seconds.

Mix made the most beautiful leap from the saddle of the day, after the field was clear, and made the time lcul was given a ueservcu ova tion ilarry Loevenn, John ired encks and J. J. O'Brien also did splendid work with the bovine, but had hard luck in landing their game on terra firma. Skull Valley Triumphs. ine cowooy pony race had a big bunch at the scratch for the quarter of a mile dash, for a purse of $25 to the winner.

The horse of Alfred Stapp, of Skull valley, ridden by Juan Olea, came under the wire first, while the others came along all in a bunch. It Was Great Sport. The grand finale of the day, and also the most amusing feature was the steer riding feature. For this occasion there were entered Tom Mix, Vic Frith, E. A.

Ordunez, J. J. O'Brien and Nip Vann. The animals had more of the appearance of being sent through a barber shop by their razor back contur, than coming fresh from the range. They were as lean as a wildcat prospect, and must have been fattened on hot air especially for this occasion.

None of the riders remained on top for more than six jumps, and most of them fell overboard before they got to going. Tom Mix, however, managed to sail to the best od-vantage with his steering gear, and Nip Vann came as a second rater, the former pocketing $25 and the latter $15. ROOSEVELT HEADS FOR GRAND CANYON. NEW YORK, June 26. Colonel Roosevelt proposes to take his departure to the Arizona desert and the Grand Canyon of the Colorado on July 8.

It is learned that he proposes I hiding himself from politics and politicians for two months, beyond the reach of telegraph and telephone. His sons, Quentin and Archie, will FAIR FEATURES CONSIDERED BY COMMISSION PHOENIX, July 1. The State Fair commission met at Phoenix on June 28th, and was in constant session all day. Improvements on the track and grounds, repairs and extension ff buildings, and a dozen other matters were again gone over. The cattlemen of the State have long asked for better facilities in the way of washing racks and water supplies and other accommodations.

This necessitates in a measure the rebuilding of the present water system on the State Fair grounds. It had been hoped that connection with the city water mains of Phoenix might have been made this year, but it was found to do so would cost three or four thousand dollars in extending the mains to the Fair grounds. The Fair commission will have four inch mains laid within the Fair grounds and will maintain its water supply by a pumping system as it has in the past. When the city mains are extended to the Fair grounds, the Fair will be ready to connect. Two great motorcades will leave Phoenix on the 2nd and 3rd of July for Prescott, Williams, Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon to the north and west to San Diego, respectively.

Each one of the several hundred automo biles will carry a handsome pennant advertising the State Fair. San Diego promised to send two automobile loads to the State Fair for every one that Phoenix sends to San Diego for the Fourth of July celebration. The north always comes en masse to the State Fair. Dr. Redewell will take his specially organized band of twenty pieces on the northern tour.

Among, the musicians of the band are those who have been members of Souza's band, others of the famous Gillmore band, and still others who have been members of the great National band of Mexico. Some of the finest soloists in the whole country are members of the doctor's band. Hon. George Purdy Bullard, Attorney General, left last night for Los Angeles, where he" will referee the great Los Angeles-San Francisco Fourth of July race. While on the coast, Bullard will make final arrangements for the Los Angeles-Phoenix and the Los Angeles-San Diego road races to the State Fair.

The State Fair commission on Satu--day gave Bullard his final instruc tions. Bullard says more cars will enter these races this year than ever before. Professor W. L. Fowler, of the State University, is now making a trip through California, Oregon, Washington and will return by way of Utah and Nevada in the interests of the State University and of the State Fair.

Professor Fowler is superintendent of the cattle department of the State Fair. He reports that lovers of good cattle will find the cattle at the State Fair this year unsurpassed for merit and quality by any of the State on the coast. Many Arizona- cattle will visit the Coast Fairs this year, among which a splendid herd from the State University will make the circuit. Professor Fowler believes that the State of Arizona possesses as fine cattle as any State in the nation and that our cattle may need not fear competition from any quarter whatever. Al Moore left last Monday night for Rochester, N.

Y. to represent Arizona at the great Elks' conclave of that city. Mr. Moore was formerly a State Fair commissioner and while in the east will mingle with the horsemen to secure some fast ones for the State Fair. DUNBAR'S WEEKLY TO ISUE IN SEPTEMBER PHOENIX, July 1.

Dunbar's Weekly, an up to date newspaper covering the State of Arizona in a political and industrial way, will make its appearance in September. John O. Dunbar, who has been in the newspaper business in Arizona a third of a century, is to be owner and editor. Mr. Dunbar recently left the Democrat, with which he had been connected several years.

Everyone predicted that he would break out in a new place soon, and he was not long in announcing -his plans for a weekly. Collier's Weekly will be Mr. Dunbar's model. His editorials will be a feature. Mr.

Dunbar has a reputation as a writer, of keen, biting, sar castic, critical" editorials, but he can also write editorials of the constructive kind. In addition to Mr. Dunbar's editorials the weekly will carry much mining, agricultural and general industrial news. His aim will be to chronicle the advance of Arizona along different lines and to hasten that advance wherever possible. Mr.

Dunbar's son, Mark Dunbar, has secured a controlling interest in the Mesa Free Press and will shortly take charge as editor and general manager. BULGARIAN ATROCITIES. LONDON, July 4. King Constantino of Greece today wired confirmation of the reported massacre of Greek soldiers by Bulgarians in Macedonia and the extermination of the Greek population in the villages through which the Bulgarians re treated. PRESCOTT A FINE PLACE FOR FILM MAKING (From Thursday's Daily) ''How is Prescott climatically for the making of picture films?" was the question asked Marshall Stedman, the business agent of the local Selig Polyscope Company, just to make conversation yesterday afternoon as he was watching a buzz saw go through a cord or two of four-foot wood.

"I should- worry," he replied, "and get my salary raised." "The atmospheric conditions here, leaving all joking aside," he continued, are nothing short of marvelous. We have been here just six months to a day Tuesday, and in all that time there have been only fifteen days when the company could not work. Even when the snow was on the ground Producer Duncan kept the troupe busy and we secured some fine scenes. Of course when the snow was falling it was impossible for us to use the camera. Contrast the weather here, in Chicago and the east where it is necessary on account of unfavorable atmos phcric conditions to lay off as long as a month at a time.

Then figure what we are doing, and you can realize that as a matter of dollars and cents Mr. Duncan is making a showing with the home office that is more than gratifying, and turning out pictures that in clearness can not be surpassed. The fact was intimated to Mr. Stedman that the general public is inclined to the belief that picture and other kinds of actors and actor- ines are prone to romance, in 'other words to occasionally indulge in statements that might be classed as hyperbole that on account of the artificial atmosphere in which they work the tendency is to exaggerate just a trifle, not wittingly, knowingly or with malice aforethought, of course, but unconsciously, innocently and with a mind free from intent to deceive. Stedman did not receive the hint with any great degree of enthusiasm, contending actors and actorines differ not from other people when it comes to adhesion to the truth, incidentally remarking that as great an authority as David, the sweet psalm singer of Israel, said that "all men are liars." However, if his veracity was called into question he was will ing and ready to submit the proof.

And here it is, month for month, and by the way, is just as good an advertisement for the climate jj Prescott and as accurate as one could wish or demand: January, worked 29 days, lost I two days. February, worked 21 days, lost I two days. (The worst month known locally for years. I March, worked 28 days, lost I three days. April, worked 28 days, lost I two days.

May, worked 30 days, lost one I day. June, worked 30 days, not one I lost. BACK TO BOSTON. ((From Thursday's Daily.) H. C.

Gibbs, president of the Octave Mines Company, has returned to Boston after an examination of the property near Stanton. He con templates making another trip in the next two months, when it is ex pected that definite arrangements will have been closed up for resuming operations on this old gold producer of other days. Mr. Gibbs expresses himself as sanguine over the future of that proposition, and that when work is resumed a large line of development will be the method of operating, with the treat ing of the yield, as of secondary consideration until a large tonnage is available. He also stated the new organization means to follow out a conservative line of systematic min ing, and that the corporation is a close one, with no stock be placed on the market.

HELPLESS AS BABY Down in Mind Unable to Work, and What Helped Her. Summit Point, V. Va. Mis. Anna Belle Emey, of this place, says: "1 suffered for 15 years with an awful pain in my right side, caused from womanly trouble, and doctored lots for it, but without success.

I suffered so very much, that I became down in mind, and as helpless as a baby. I was in the worst kind of shape. Was unable to do any work. I began taking Cardui, the womar's tonic, and got relief from the very first dose. By trie time I had taken 12 bottles, my health was completely restored.

1 am now 48 years years old, out feel as good as I did when only 16. Cardui certainly saved me from losing mind, and I feel it my duty to speak its favor. I wish I had some power ver poor, suffering women, and could make them know the good it would do them." If you suffer from any of the ailments peculiar to women, it will certainly be worth your while to give Cardui a trial. It has been helping weak women for more than 50 years, and will help you, too. Try Cardui.
