L4SS0ING WILD BULLS
The re il fan beg m when seventeen
experts with the lasso we: t into tl.e
herd to lasso wild bulls. Thirty mi. a tes
were given each morning for this
contest. Only hornless bulls were to
be taken and no catch was co uted
unless the man with the lasso put his
hand upon the bull. To the u.i i .tinted
catching wild bulls might seem an
e isy thing to do, but on all sides the
upraised horns of hundreds of deer
moving rapidly, made it quite
difficult to drop the lasso (’own
upon the sneaking bull crouchi: g
along at atre netidous rate. vSo wily
are they that when the lasso whirls
thru the air th .t tl.e bull will le p far
ahead or shy o.T to the right or left
in order to do Ige what it fe irs
