almost human in the expression Of

boy. There is feast during the
roundup which lasts several days, and
in the evenings there is rout-a stag
dance" and several fights.
Cattle raising is one of the leading
industries of Colorado, and it is uni
formly profitable. We have several bar
ons, kings and lesser potentates, who
have realized fortunes in the business
and come here to live In style. Some
years, however, grass is short, and the
streams run dry The cattle die by
the thousands, and the plains are so
strewn with their carcasses that the
air for miles around Is freighted with
the stencil. The atmosphere of Col
orado being almost devoid of moisture,
decomposition is very slow, and q car
cass will keep for several months.
When water gives out the herdsmen dig
for it. The streams have q habit Of
sinking out of sight, running along o
few miles or more, and again coming to
the surface, and thus the thread of a
stream run dry is caught up. 1t is q
most pitiful spectacle to see large
droves of cattle instinctively collect
around small stagnant pools or damp
spots where once flowed stream, and
moan with almost human appeals to
the herders. Several years ago, during
nm extreme drought, there was so little
grazing that the hewers resorted to
the cutting of shrubs and the leaves of
trees as a substitute.

troublesome. They prey alike upon tho
small rancher and the cattle king. The
"rustler" is frequently an ex-cowboy,
lariot. The "ladrone" is a Mexican out
law, who deals monte in the towns Of
southern Colorado when he is not on
the trail stealing cattle. Stolen cattle
are driven to some little hut secluded
in the foothills, which has theappear-
ance of an honest ranchman's farm,
and there the cattle are rebranded-
another brand placed over the first, so as
to deface it. The cattle are then driven
into some other section and sold-or
shipped east by cattle trains. When
a gang of "rustlers''-half dozen or
nore-have stanpeded a bunch" Of
cattle, the cowboys who are on guard
give the alarm by firing a few pistol
shots at them, and d general pursuit
follows.
But usually, the theft is made at
night, and so quietly that it is not
known until morning, when the cattle
are missed by their tracks. Then q
designated number OF cowboys take the
trail, each carrying small armory, anu
from 80 to 100 rounds of ammunition.
If the "rustlers" are overtaken there is
o lively time for awhile; but as the
rustlers are usually in small gangs.
they do not risk general engagement,
for the pursuing party is generally the
larger-the cowboys considering the
pursuit of rustlers as a holiday eNcur-
sion and volunteering in large NUM-
bers. The Mexican ''rustlers" or ia
drons" operate Observation-Disclosures
ly organize into gangs, and their oper,
atoms are against the rancher, mainly.
While the ludrone is an expert with the
lariat, and would meet even a cowboy
on neutral ground, as it is his natural
weapon, he does not like the revolver
practice. So he prefers to act indi-
vidually and confines his depredations tc
the ranch-and while the runcher is
asleep. The ladrone steals only TO,
