The Hardy Bronco.

The western Coloradoan performs
marvels with broncos scarcely better
broken than this indicates. An East
crn hunter was accompanied by guide
riding freshly broken bronco, and
that half-wild creature was made to
carry him over miles of the toughest
imaginable mountain wilderness. After
the newly broken bronco was relieved
of his masters weight, and the guide
had transferred himself to another
horse, that docile little beast patiently
followed the party for miles over the
mountain and through woodland.
The bronco quickly learns to follow
and to stand. The patience with which
he does the latter seems inexplicable
until one has learned the secret of his
training. When hunters go after the
grizzly bear or elk they commonly ride
on horseback up to the point on the
mountain side where the evergreens
begin. Here they leave their broncos
unhitched, sure of finding them on the
return, perhaps six or eight hours
later. This is done with horses only
few months broken. 1t is sometimes
safer with them than with older beasts,
for the latter have often been trained
to go straight home when turned loose.

might have got him into trouble with
most men, but Sir George managed
him in better way. Itwas necessary
that roads should be built throughout
the chiefs territory, but this petty
potentate refused to allow any to be
constructed. At last Sir George pre-

horse and carriage. The gift filed
