Oops, We Made a Mistake

 

Jane Stanfel

Your trusty reporters are not at all trusty; they forgot to send one of the four pictures discussed in the 22 April article. Editor Pointe agreed to print it separately and re-run the part of that article pertaining to it. We appreciate his picking up after our mistake and we apologize for our shoddy journalism. Next week we'll begin an exciting new series about the Sidney area settlers.

We don't know who tamed whom in the painting, "Taming a Wild One." Along with how long he stayed on top and whether he won, the name of this wild horse rider has been lost. As a matter of fact, so has the name of the horse. John Steffen couldn't identify the cowboy, even though the nonagenarian scrupulously had catalogued all his father, Fred's, old photographs and memorabilia. Without these, there would be no history of this first rodeo in eastern Montana. Where the photos are now is unknown, perhaps lost forever. Sadly, our four paintings are probably the only evidence memorializing this event.
