They are Pennsylvania men, but journeyed west many years ago and settled at Medora, North Dakola. Theodore Roosevelt came later and settled on adjoining land. The Eaton boys and T.

The Horton ranch, operated by Senator Horton, while a newer ven- ture, is somewhat of a duplicate of the Eaton ranch, and conducted along the same line. It has a mag- nificent setting surrounded by the Big Horns, with mountain streams from several directions all inhabit- ed by trout. It is not more than 10\miles from Buffalo which {s an inland cow town of the ancient day brought up to modern requirements Senator Horton also puts on a rodeo in which he himself takes part, being one of the best bulldog: gers of steers in the west.
