Show Jack Lloyd, Famous Traveler Visits Springville; Tells of Dew Rodeo at Los Vegas the Cheyene or Pendleton shows of that kind. One of the greatest 'thrills that Jack claims the crowd got was the fact that the Bra-'hamas Bra-'hamas were "real wild" stock, and he also stated that it took more than the average "cow hand" to do anything with these "hefty critters." The bucking stock was well above par and the boys sure did some riding to stay on the "buck-ers" "buck-ers" and regarding the crowds well as Jack tells it, they were good on all three days of the event, and more than one word of praise was heard on the streets regarding the "real show" that the "boys" were giving the audience. Jack Lloyd, 67 year old soldier of fortune, adventurer, veteran of several wars and numerous revolu-' revolu-' tions, known throughout the world as "Burning Daylight" and hailed by the newspapermen of the country coun-try as the "Original Globetrotting" Reporter" was a visitor for several sever-al hours in Springville Tuesday. While in the city, Jack called on the editor of the Herald, showed show-ed his many clippings, gave us some of the highlights of his life and then announced, that he would "stick around the rockies" for several weeks. Booms the worid over seem to have been Jack's greatest "meat" for he claims that he has never missed one from the South African Af-rican diamond rush to the Alaskan Alask-an gold rush... when the late Jack London, wrote the story of "Burning Daylight" after his colorful col-orful life in that section of the world. Very few of the western, shows at this time, says Lloyd, give a real all around event 'but as Lloyd explains the show he tells you that there were "top hands" in all of the contests, and that the Dew organization sure knew how to give the westerners a real show. One of the greatest events of the show was when several of the wild steers broke loose on the second day of the show, and it took several hours for the "cowhands" to recapture the steers. Speaking of this section of Utah Jack tell you that it has taken on quite an improvement since his last trip through here 30 years ago and everywhere there seems to be a spirit of progressiveness. Talking to the editor, Jack said, that in almost every section of the world, he has found the representatives repre-sentatives of the Mormon church, and he recalled the settlements ' that he has visited in Mexico, South America, Canada, the islands and other remote sections of the world. Everywhere, where-ever where-ever there is a Mormon settlement, settle-ment, one will find a real class of people, and the spirit of brotherly broth-erly love seems to prevail at all of these lpaces. Wars and revoluations also know the fortune soldier, and he tells us the greatest thrill that he ever hand, was the time that he was with the late Puncho Villa, for more than three years, and like all the other Americans that were with Pancho, he tells you that Villa was a "real guy." When Sandino declared his famous, fa-mous, "banana" revolution, Jack joined' that famous leader of men as a machine gunner and munition runner, and left the country after almost being "bumped" off, by the quake that almost wrecked that country. All of the major wars also knew Jack, in the Boer war he was with Kitchener, in the Spanish American, Amer-ican, was a member of the "Rough Riders" in the Russian and Japanese Japa-nese war. was with a Cossack outfit, out-fit, in the "Big Parade" was with the intelligence department of the British army and in the last Ethiopian war was with the White Leerion. j All of the famous mining booms of the west in the days of the "Gay Eighties and Nineties" knew the veteran, and he recalled the best of them Cripple Creek, the Couer d' Alene, the Black Hills, Leadville, Goldfield, Silver City, and the famous Utah boom at Bingham Canyon. Coming up over the Salt Lake route Jack stopped at that famous fa-mous "last frontier" town of the west Las Vegas and while in the famous western city of Nevada he made the new famous "Helldor-ado" "Helldor-ado" which has became a real western affair, and speaking of the various attractions at that affair, he tells you that the rodeo that was staged by Jack Dew, of Springville, was one of the best that he had ever seen outside of |
