FRONTIER DAYS CELEBRATION IS THING OF PAST
Cedar Falls Record, 22 jUN 1916


Ed Lindsey, of Oklahoma, retained his title as world champion steer "bull-dogger" and established a new record of 6 1-5 seconds for throwing his steer; Fred Beeson of Oklahoma City won first honors in the steer roping contest and Miss Mulhall won second place in competition with the men; Walter Robins, of Mulhall, Oklahoma, won first money in the fancy riding contest and Ed Lindsey copped first in the wild horse riding events at the four-day Frontier Days celebration concluded here last night.

Most of the contestants left today for various places.

Miss Lucille Mulhall, the champion woman rider, her sister Georgia, and a number of their friends will leave for Sioux City tomorrow where they will contest Jul 3-4-5-6. Colonel Zack Mulhall expects to leave tomorrow for a few days business trip to his ranch at Mulhall, Okla., but will join his daughter for the Sioux City contest.

"A number of the boys will go directly west to train for large contests later in the summer at Butte and Billings, Montana, and at Cheyenne."

The general sentiment among the cowboy and cowgirl visitors to the city is very favorable toward Cedar Falls, and the interest shown in their contests. Colonel Mulhall stated today that he had never staged a meet where there has been as much doing as there was right here. He seemed to be disappointed in the crowds but liked the spirit the crowds showed, very much.

The $3,000 prize money was distributed among the contestants yesterday afternoon. A good many of the men lost out in the finals due to the fact that experts such as Ed Linsey, Cliff King and Walter Robbins appeared on the scene at the last moment and took off the lion's share.

Following is the result of the contests of the three days:

Steer Roping.
Wednesday.
3. Lucille Mulhall, 36 sec.
