RODEO BRONCOS GETTINTMEAN' Steers Are Also Harder to Manage, Riders Claim; Blame Weather. There were complaints from both cowboys and cowgirls last night at the Indiana state fairground coliseum, where the world’s championship rodeo series is being conducted, that the bronco 6 and steers were “gettin’ mean.” The cause for the change in the animals’ temperament was attributed to the sudden drop in temperature. But the rangers rode just as hard as in the two previous performances. Winners in last night's contests were: Shorty Hill, bareback bronco riding; Opal Elliott, cowgirls’ bronco riding; Herman Linder, cowboys’ bronco riding; Bill Bickley, steer riding; Gene Ross, steer wrestling, and Elmer Pardee, calf roping. Competition will be close during the next three days of the rodeo, according to John Birdsong, business manager of the show, since the riders are entering the home stretch of this part of the series, and no one contestant has attained any definite lead on the field.

BASH OFFERS SHIPMENT OF DUTCHTULIPS Both Standard and Newest Varieties Included in Importation.
