MUSTANGS IN TEXAS THIRTY YEARS
AGO.

THE WORD mustang, SAYS the Texas
Mute Ranger, j. a corruption Of me teno
he Mexican name for n wild horse Many
years ago there Were thousands, no doubt
millions. of those animals IN Tcxas. ~
lS49, and for several yearS thereaftC., th.y
were numerous in the region between tat
Nueces River and the Rio Grande. Ttey
were found further north, but not n sIch
numbers. Immense herds Of Wild horses
could be seen grazing on the pralr Is
When they saw any one approaching the
leader would often move To the front and
make a reconnaissance If thirgs did not
suit him. he would give his head a peculiar
toss, wheel, and sound the note Of alarm.
These demonstrations would be followed by
prompt movement on the part OF the herd,
sometimes TO the front, but more usually
to the rear. They would wheel into line,
change front, move in line or in column,
with as much precision and order as cav
airy. 1t was wonderful to witness how
well they were drilled and disciplined In
the event a retreat was ordered, the Leader
would move in the rear awhile. If any
Jagged or struggled they were very apt to
feel his teeth, if not his heels. On some
occasions a movement to the front was
ordered. 1t was a charge in line, or in
column, proudly headed by the leader.
This was the case sometimes when mounted
men were in sight. The Texas rangers
operating in that country were followed by
pack mules in charge of a guard. 1t was
necessary at times to form a hollow square,
place mules inside, and to throw out Skin
mishers to fire into the animals. If the
leaders could be struck, the charge would
be broken. The horses would retire ut
once. The mustangs were hunted by Mex
leans, and fine looking ones singled out and
lassoed. Whole herds Were driven at a run
into pens having extended wings, which
contracted as they approached the gate.
As many as 500 mustangs have been penned
at one run" They were sold at almost
nothing, s. being a high price for a choice
horse. These mustangers were a wild set,
often no better than Indians; sone Of them
were honest, good men. They were guilty
of many murders and robberies. The Co
manches made many visits to that region.
They would pounce upon the mustangers,
set them afoot, or kill them, as caprice die
tated. The Comanches wanted the mus
tangs to ride and to eat. Horse flesh Is a
great delicacy with them. The choice
part is the fat Immediately under the name.
The section in question was very hot IN
those days for Americans. A Texan was
considered a hereditary enemy by both
mustangers and Indians. His only protec-
ton was the rife and six-shooter, and a
horse of strength and bottom.
