LATE Merritt: James H. Bond, of Mineo,
was here Tuesday. having been attending
United States court at Ardmore as a
juror Mr.. Bond is n Chickasaw citizen
by intermarriage and is one of the wealthy
men of that nation. The writer has known
him for about twelve years, at a time
when he punched cattle" around over
this country. We remember one winter
when he held an immense herd just north
east of LeXington; also when our Wash
Short held 3, 900 head on the same range.
Those were balmy days in the cattle bust
ness and every one had plenty OF money.
But time brings great changes, and now
the cattle industry on the open range is
no good. The sturdy granger has crowded
in and has taken up the range country;
the strong arm OF civilization has en-
circled the Indian, and no more can the
wild an woOlly cowboy ride out before
breakfast and force Mr.. Buck to cut the
dust Yes, this is now n land of civiliza-
tion-a radical change since first we met
Jimmy Bond.
