One of the “Flying A” cowboys was at the beach when he heard that a couple of untamed “broncs” needed to be ridden.
The cowboy bragged that “he had a tickling sensation in his back which he wished scratched. His ambition was satisfied, for he lasted just three jumps. Since then [he] has been using a crutch to get to work.” – Santa Barbara Morning Press, December 21, 1912
