Starkey Teeples rides Belgrade bull to wager victory
The Montana cowboy Starkey Teeples rode the famed Belgrade bull owned by Pres Johnson in Bozeman, winning a wager amid heavy bets and a cheering crowd. Teeples, renowned for breaking horses, stood firm as the bull’s past record of bucking failed to unseat him, with Johnson later doubting the bull’s trim. Teeples’ career spanned cattle drives, stagecoach routes, and famed gatherings across the Yellowstone country.
