George Tucker riding “Flash” was sec- ond fastest man to tie a calf. Marvin Gruenwald threw his rope from “Lightning” and was the third amateur to show. Team roping proved to be an exciting event as the arena was a bit on the small side. When you have around the ring a steer running and two cowboys, trying to lasso either end, it re- quires good horsemanship and talented roping. WU Twan and il Bowe took first place in this event.

J. Rem- nant from Vancouver, yesterday in County Court. In both cases the appeal was Rllowed and the conviction quashed. In the first case,George Rich- ley appealed to a charge of dri ing without due care and atten-| tion which was laid following an accident in the early morning of June 14. The accident oceur- red on the Soda Creek road just| within village limits. Richley car was struck from behind by another vehicle supposedly tempting to overtake him. Both | cars ended up completely off | the road on the right hand side; the other vehicle was overturn- at-} Evidently the following veh- icle had signalled its intention to pass by flicking its head- lights. However, in the half- light of dawn Richley did not notice this signal and did not recall seeing a car behind him. Judge S. J. Remnant allowed this appeal saying that in his mind, in spite of rainy weather, the, light at that hour in the morning would render the head- light of a following car ineftec- tive. An appealed common assault was then put before the court. This case involved®a mixed up family squabble in which a woman charged her brother with common assault when he, apparently accidentally, broke glasses as the woman ran (into his hand.

[im mud when they were thrown, horses slipped on the wet ground but it just seemed to make the day’s events more exciting. The flag race was won by Bill Twan with Gil Bowe second and George Tucker third. RIBBON EVENT Gil Bowe teamed up with Ray Thompson and together they were first to dash back across the finish line with an unbroken rib- bon between them. Bill Twan and Chris English brought back their ribbon in the number two position. The third team of rib- bon riders was Clark and George Tucker. . Beating out George Tucker and Bowe in a stake race was no easy job for Bill Twan. How- ever, Bill was the first man to the home stake, followed by George then Gil. Three women rode in a ladies barrel race and Martha Twan took top honors. Terry Bowe finished second and Charlotte Tucker was third. Horse of the Day Trophy had to be decided by the flip of a coin. As Lightning and Major had an equal tally of points it was heads or tails and the coin favored Lightning. Cowboy Gil Bowe totalled up the highest score with Bill Twan only a tew points behind. Hospital loses its’ beans Someone must have been very hungry the other night for the hospital garden was stripped of all its beans. The next day when said beans were to be picked for the hospital menu the garden was bare. The vegetables had just fully ripened and were ready for pick- ing. Obviously somebody knew this or had been keeping an eye on the garden, and when the moment was right they made a greedy haul.
