Come in tomorrow and sée the lafge varieties and quan-. tity of high grade steck now on sale. By JULIAN LEVER In the spring of the year 1886 we started to build up a litite ranch, with the usual limited capital, but with un- « bounded hopes of future success, about the only problem being as to the disposition of the profits, for as far as mak- ing the money was concerned—that was an admitted fact, a foregone conclusion, born of the optimism of youth, and the glamor, shall we say the ro- mance’of the cattle business of those days. This of course was prior to the disastrous winter of 1886, which wrecked the hopes and pocketbooks aie the cattle men alike, both large small, in northwest Nebraska, Montana and the ranges of Dakota territory, on the north, and Wyo- ming territory on the west. Part of our first expense developed the fencing of a pasture of about ‘a thousand acres, this taking in our tWo homesteads and a state school section adjoining, not forgetting to include a little government lard. iter considerable trading around, a My brother took his shot gun along, in the hopes .of being fortunate enough to secure a shot at a cotton tafl Tabbit in the willows. I afmost forgot to mention any- thing ubout our livestock purchases. Having contracted fct a bunch of native cattle to be delivered in the early summer, the next thing seemed to be horses. We bought four head of trained cow ponies, this being all we could afford as gentle horses were worth $80 per head and wild horses about $40. Of the latter var- lety we bought a couple. These wero out of a Texas trail herd of the fall deal was made wtih somo men living near Crawford, Neb., twelve miles trom the ranch, these men to get out the fence posts and haul the mater- <) from town, build the fence and omplete the job by the first of May that year During the latter part of April, had one of those typical western Ing storms—the cowmen used to them “Grassmakers,” This_par- ticular storm lasted for several days. Whe sun would come out for a few moments in the middle of the day, but before evening, it would be snow- ing as fast as ever. The fente mak- es came prepared to stay. ‘They brought 2 complete camping outfit, including a 16x24 tent which they used for cooRIng and sleeping in, al so a shelter tent for thelr teams. This latter they, located down in the brush along the bank of the creek. For their own tent they selected a small grassy flat of possibly an acre or so, just above the level of the creek at the road crossing and about three-fourths of a mile from our ranch. Running short of grub, the prospects of a three day storm rat ine better of thelr patience, so onthe second morning, they pulled out for town, taking their teams, put leaving thelr camp otherwise in- tact. ‘That afternoon about 8 o'clock my brother and I, having just’ about worn out the last issue of the local paper, The Irish Times and the Cin- cfnnatt Enquirer, the latter which cal the soldier let go the rope and jumped | troop.

The most approved first step in the horee breaking business of those days was to put a heavy rope hack- amore on the horse, with about sev enty-five feet of rope, tie the rope to a log—the log just heavy enough so the horse could not run away with it—and at the same time provide the necessary give so that a sudden run on the rope would not bring serious results. On some bench land adjoin- ing the creek and about a halt mile from the ranch wa had our ponies tied out, After walking down the creck to a point about Bpposite where the pon- fes were located, we heard one or both of them snort very loudly, as if afraid of the approach of some wild animal. Knowing that there were several gray wolves on the range, we thought probably a wolf or some stray dog might be the cause of their alarm, so decided to inves- tigate. Going up out of the creek as fully as we could, and keep- ing under cover as much as possible, imagine our surprise to ses a color- ed soldier, cavalry man, evidently be- longing at Fort Robinson, ten miles away, carefully approaching one of the horses. He had hold of the rope and was working along: toward the head, looking round every few as if afraid of being seen. At that time one of us must have stepped on a fallen branch because walk very far when there are horses that can be stolen. Wé were not so | much afraid on accoynt of our wild | ponies, but the gentle saddle stock we could not afford to lose, and the 268 INDUSTRIAL AVE | ——___. Write M. Richartz, Dept. 275, 220 W i2nd St, New York, Was getting late in the afternoon. The fort was fifteen miles away by the Wagon road. There was a~horse trail across the hills but ten miles, but we had only two saddles. After a hurried conference we ordered the soldier to. march down the road in the direction of Crawford, knowing that one of our neighbors had a spring wagon and team, and fceling that the would only be too glad to flelp in getting rid of a dangerous man. Coming to our friend’s house, brother kept watch while I explained the object of our strange afternoon call. In a short time we were start. ed, the soldier on the front seat with the driver, brother and I on the rear seat, having informed himsthat if he felt like trying to get away he was taking all the chances. About 8 p. m., we arrived at Fort Robinson, It was not very dark as there were little patches of snow von the ground and the moon was trying to struggle out through the clouds. The sentry stopped us with the usual challenge “give the pass word,” advance one at a time and be recognized.” However, on hearing our story and taking in the situation he advised us to turn the prisoner over to the post commander, whom we would probably find at the offi cer’s club. Driving over to the club, we all got out of the wagon, brother watching the prisoner white I sent in word by one of the sentries that we wisned to see the commanding officer. After a delay of a few minutes the colonel appeared accompanied by one of his Neutenants, coming down the narrow beara walk with some difficulty. I have aways thought the dear old man rightfully belonged in the navy instead of the army. He was such a wonderful navigator un- der adverse weather condition. The junior officer explained the situa- tion, the colonel saying “Lieutenant, Who is this man7” On taking a good look at the trooper he replied, “‘col- onel, this {s Private Moody of K Here we that, twenty-six mo: rifles and six only red headedest boss in all Te Those who saw orth of 36, to “The Covered Wegon,’” at the Ri even greater than “the wagon,” the gigantic cattle stampede of a thousand! more at the Rialto theater.—Ady, Keeping before them the vision of a larger and better city where the finer things of life have recognized value, and believing tn the respon- siveness of the general mass of the people to the promptings of their minds and hearts, the committee of the Casper Ministers’ association has designated January to Ma the period during which a city-wide campaign will be carried on in the interest of church-attendance.
