Isaac n. Cady, one of our old
tuners, who has been away for a
year, popped up in town Sunday
evening. A cheap excursion from
Illinois landed him in Denver,
with the Christian Endeavorers.
He has been travelling with, and
keeping good company since he
left Baca. But the longing for a
bucking bronco ride overcame all
others, and he wants to roundup
25 head of his horses and take to
eastern markets. When he went
away he leased his horses to Otho
and Willard Cole.
