Zack Mulhall, the Oklahoma cattleman, who accompanied President Roosevelt on his famous hunt in the Big Pasture
of Oklahoma several years ago, accompanied by two of his daughters, the Misses Lucille and Georgia Mulhall, were
in Topeka yesterday. The two Misses Mulhall, together with a younger sister, Marion, and their brother, Charlie Mulhall, will be the
special attraction at the Topeka fair next month and will no doubt prove great drawing cards.
Miss Lucille Mulhall, especially, is famous as a horsewoman and is considered one of the best women riders in the country.
She and her sister and brother will give an exhibition of their skill at riding and roping during the fair. Miss
Lucille will rope wild steers and wild horses. In addition to roping steers, she will also tie them after throwing them, a feat
which cowboys consider difficult and which she is perhaps the only woman to perform. Miss Lucille will exhibit her famous
trick horse, Governor Haskell, which Zack Mulhall says will do most anything but talk.
Miss Mulhall will ride bad horses, merely to show that she can, although most of this part of the work will be left to her brother Charlie.
Secretary Keipe will import a lot of wild long horn steers and outlaw horses from the big ranches of Wabaunsee and Pottawatomie
counties to be used in these exhibitions, which will be given every afternoon during the fair.
Last week Miss Georgia Mulhall and Miss Lucille Mulhall were in Chicago, preparing to start on a trip across the lakes, when
they received a telegram notifying them to start on a trip across the lakes, when they received a telegram notifying them to come to
Topeka at once. They started Friday and Saturday afternoon met their father here to complete arrangements for their appearance
during the fair. Yesterday they spent seeing Topeka. Miss Lucille is also having a picture of herself painted by Albert T. Reid.
Mr. Mulhall fifteen years ago connducted a big ranch in Wahaunsee county and he said yesterday that he regularly spent his Sundays in Topeka,
coming here to get a shave and a bath as he expressed it. Later he went to Oklahoma, where he played a prominent part in the
development of that territory. He is livestock agent for the Frisco and in addition conducts a ranch, a mere garden patch of 3,000 acres to hear him tell it,
at Mulhall. Here his daughters have grown up and have developed into famous horsewomen, who can ride, rope and shoot with the most expert.
Miss Lucille Mulhall has a handsome silver mounted bridle which was recently presented to her by President Roosevelt. This bridle
will be on display in a local store window during the fair.
