To a Western girl, Miss Lucille Mulhall, of Oklahoma, has come an unique honor. At a stter roping contest, held recently at South McAlester, I. T., she captured first prize, $10,000, defeating some of the most skillful horsemen in the West. This is not the first time that Miss Mulhall has won honors along the same lines. During President Roosevelt's Western trip she gave an exhibition in honor of the chief executive at Cheyenne, Wyo., when she roped and tied a wild steer in twenty-eight seconds. The President was amazed at the daring and remarkable horsemanship displayed by the young lady. With the skill of a most expert cowpuncher Miss Mulhall brought a wild steer to the ground and roped and tied the animal with the neatness and dispatch of a veteran.

Miss Mulhall is 18 years old and is a daughter of "Zack" Mulhall, a wealthy ranch owner and well-known Oklahoma railroad official. She is a young lady of culture and refinement, a college graduate and a splendid type of the wealthy Western girl. She began roping calves when she was scarcely able to sit in the saddle and her father encouraged her, believing she could get no better exercise.
