Show r--i v-r- 'pO'T'O r V j cli l Top Notch Rodeo to Open Thursday at Fair Grounds Final details are complete for the annual Cache S1.50 Per Year County Night Rodeo, one of the top cowboy shows in Fourteenth Year the west, which will open Thursday under sponsorship of the Cache County Farm Bureau. The rodeo will feature some of the top cowboys on the rodeo circuit, including such stars as Homer Pettiperformer in 1913, and grew, worlds champ A HOME PAPER FOR HOME PEOPLE No. 49 g I of Mobridge, Bender Benny South Dakota, arrived in Logan today for the Cache County Night Rodeo this week, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Benny is the rodeo clown for the show. This is his first appeurance in Logan. He Just finished with the rodeo at Grand Junction, Colorado, where the Hutchinson stock was used. Benny has heen clowning, bull dogging and riding bulls for the past fourteen years. He has had much experience in this exciting game of life. He says that in all his experience he has never met such a fighting Brahama bull as the one recently purchased from Texas by Hutchinson. . The bull's name is El Toro, and he is a registered Brahama and weights at least fifteen hundred pounds. His horns were so long and sharp they cut them half off but still the bull is very dangerous and almost as quick as a deer. At the show in Grand Junction, the fence saved Benny. In going under the fence, Benny lost his cape and the bull stomped and gored it to sheds. At the arena here Benny will have to go over the top of the fences, as they are built too close to the ground to crawl under. As this is his first show here, Benny said he will give El Toro a real battle. Benny has a little fat black mule that is hard to beat. The act with the mule is very entertaining. Benny has a charming wife and little daughter along with him. Benny expects to hold his own with the other cow boys in the bull dogging and bull riding. Marv Dunbar will try his skill at roping calves at the rodeo. Last year Marv made a very quick catch, but lost a little time in tying his calf. Marv knows he is competing against the best calf ropers on the circuit and he will have to have conditions just right to win. The local committee is very pleased to have some of our locaT boys compete in the events. The Rodeo Committee for the Cache county night rodeo to be held this week desire three navy boys, three of the army, three marines and and three air corps men to take part in uniform in the grand entry each night of the rodeo. These service men should report to the office of the Chamber of Commerce at once or to Frank Neuberger of the American Legion.

I deem this acceptance of our terms.
