OLD-TIMERS RECALL
REAL FRONTIER DAYS
Women in 19th century dress
sipped cool refreshments on the
courthouse lawn in front of the
“Road to Ruin Saloon” while
others fanned in the heat and
sized up the weight of a giant
steer.
It was Frontier Day in Has-
kell last Tuesday and the women
were parading in period cos-
tume, the barber shop was full
as haircuts went for a quarter
and the 25-cent chicken fried
steak lunches didn’t last past
noon.
Businesses reported a rush
of patrons as buyers sought out
specials marked with prices
prevailing 84 years ago in in-
fant Haskell.
Most of the commotion was
around “Big Mac” the outsized
Holstein steer as ladies of the
community guessed at his
weight. An old-time cutting
horse contest, like the first one
ever held in Haskell, took its
share of the action with 16
horses from area ranches en-
tered.
Mrs. Ed Hester, Mrs. Elbert
Mapes and Mrs. Buster Shelton,
all of Haskell, correctly guess-
ed Big Mac’s weight, 2,410
pounds.
Calf roping and a western
jamboree in the downtown thea-
ter climaxed the day of festivi-
ties.
At the make-shift bar on the
courthouse lawn, club ladies
dispensed soft drinks beneath
the replica of the old “Bloody
Bucket Saloon” sign which was
a notorious landmark in early
day Haskell.
In the courthouse shade, old-
timers recalled the real fron-
tier days, teen-agers laughed
over the bargain buys they made
and one restaurant owner told
how he sold 60 ham lunches for
a quarter when he had only of-
fered 25.
REV. JOHN SOLOMON
Killed in Crash
tor of St. Andrew's Presby-
terian Church.
The Rev. Mr. Colomon also
leaves his wife, Marcia, and
