Roping mishap and regional notes from Alpine Texas
Joe Espy suffered a hip injury when he was caught by a rope and fell during a roping event on a Bennett McCutch ranch north of Fort Davis. Reports from the Texas Game and Fish Assn indicate antelope trapping will increase in Big Bend areas after fall hunts and a Big Horn sheep reservation has been arranged near Van Horn. Attendees at San Angelo races praised Bell Bottom, the horse of Gene Benson, while Jim Derrick of Carlsbad earned attention as a trainer and owner. The Chihuahua governor asked delaying the May good roads trip to October to align with plans for a Ojinaga to Chihuahua highway. Pecos moves toward a $20,000 swimming pool expansion, Reeves County plans Fort Stockton pool improvements, and Alpine's pool scene faces tax and policy hurdles. Alpine residents urge local counties to support athletic recreation.
