T H E A Ci R I C NSEI'lfi?N'-?l'2'1'D1ll53 Ghz iinnnh Hp Ai illliilesa Glitg ILES CITY, Montana, is second to the largest horse market in the world. Every year there is a large roundup at this city in which cow pun- chers from all over the United States take part. This lasts for three days and each day there are contests for riding, shooting, throwing steers and the using of the latiat. A few days before the roundup takes place we will see Indians with their families putting up their tents near the place where the contests are to be held The reason for so many Indians coming is that Uncle Sam furnishes them with coffee andthe meat of all the cattle that are killed during the roundup Of course each ranch has its own roundup also but that IS mainly for the branding of the one year old colts and calves We will take an automobile out to one of the ranches and watch them round up the cattle and horses First the cowboys surround the herd and start them moving toward the corral Some times it is necessary to drive them several miles but when they have them corraled they lasso one of the calves or colts and tie its legs to gether This of course causes the animal to fall down on its side They then heat a brand in a large fire and with this they burn their brand on the hip of the beast If this happened to be a herd of horses they would no doubt break each of the colts for driving before letting them out on the range again Now after seeing the roundup on the ranch we will drive back to Miles City and go to the grounds where the contest will be held While going through town we notice a great many cowboys riding horse back They drive on the sidewalks and even in some of the buildings We also see a great many people walking towards the grounds where the roundup Will take place. These grounds resemble our Fair grounds, having a grandstand and many other seats arranged in a circle with an open space in thecenter for the perform- ances. By ten o?clock the seats are nearly all filled and the contests begin. First of all comes the shooting at targets with revolvers and rifles. A score or more of men who are handy with their guns take part in this After the prizes for this contest are given out the next one which IS the throwing of steers starts, Thedifficult part of this contest IS that the man must go in with the steer bare- handed and attach it by the horns Then by twisting the beast s head he forces it to lie down After thishe must grip his teeth in the nose of the steer and hold it down in this manner for a certain length of time This contest does not last as long as the shooting as there are not so many contestants Next comes the racing and it IS during this time that we find out that there are many hand some as well as fleet horses in Montana Right after this we are informed that the last thing on the program for the day 1S the throwing of the lariat or lasso Many cowboys take part in this and it is quite a task for the Judge to find the winner After the winner has received his prize which IS a handsome braided horse hair lariat the crowd begins to break up so we take a bus to the Olive Hotel This roundup continues for two more days each day being practically the same To the westerner lt IS simply a yearly event but to the easterner it has unique fascination not only from the standpoint of skill and cleverness of the roundup but the atmosphere of good fellow ship which prevails over 1t G D 1925 PAGE 39 23 I . 7 . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 . . . .
