A rare exhibition of horsemanship was displayed on the streets last week. A cowboy who had filled his tank with liquid lightning, offered to bet $50 that he “could ride anything that wore hair.” Another cowboy took the bet, and brought forth a cayuse famous for buck- ing. The drunken cowboy was not slow in mounting and while the cayuse was rearing and pitching, crossed both legs around the horn of the saddle, then quietly rolled a cigarette and sat and smoked as contentedly as though he were in a rocking chair. When the horse ceased to pitch the money was turned over and most of the boys took their straight. As the rider drained his poison, he quietly remarked, “Well, I thought you had something hard to ride.”
