Mandan. N. D.. July 6.—Ken Cooper of Fort Pierre, S. D., early yesterday morning was adjudged winner of the broncho riding contests at the Mandan roundup, which came to a close Saturday.

Due to the almost perfect riding of a dozen cowboys on the wildest aggregation of outlaw horses ever seen in the northwest, the judges had a difficult time in grading the winners. Ken Davis of Amidon, N. D., drew second money and Happy Holander, Marmarth, N. D., took third with Chick Hannan, Miles City, Mont., fourth.

Hannan also won first in the bull-dogging contest, his time being 42 and 25 seconds respectively on two steers. Jim Massey of Fort Worth, Texas, took second money and Gladys Wilson, Wortham, Texas, third.

Rythmic Tread Of Too Many Dancers Caused The Crash

Police, firemen, and officials view the remains of the collapsed Pickwick Club.

Boston, July 5 (AP)—Fire Chief Daniel F. Sennot placed the blame for the collapse of the Pickwick Club building here yesterday on the management of the club.

“The building was allowed to become overcrowded,” he declared, “and the tremendous weight, combined with the rythmic tread of the dancers was too much for the walls and floors. The fire of a few months ago had nothing to do with the collapse, as the damage from that was confined entirely to the floors above the club.”

Amalgamated Strikers Stand Firmly For Real Union

Friday marked a week’s anniversary of the battle begun by the International Tailoring Company to break the Amalgamated Clothing Workers’ Union and establish “open shop” under the scab label of the United Garment Workers. And a lively anniversary it was.

With every one of the 800 strikers standing out solid, the strikers’ spirit is better than ever. The firm thought that about 80 per cent would stay, but not one remained, only about 25 scabs furnished by the scab agency of the United Garment crew are on hand, and not one solitary garment has been made by them. They are too busy thinking how they are going to get back home with a whole skin.
