"ScOTTlE" WAS REVENCEp.


Sure Vengeance For Being Dupcd Into
"Cooning'' an Imaginary Log.
81 rlayed trick on one of the cow
boys w'a called 'Scottie,'" said the ex-
cowboy. "But he got even with me
in good shape. We were on the round
up, and within two days drive of
Ration, but 'Scottie' couldn't stand it
any longer, so he struck off for town
early in the morning to fill up. We
didn't see anything of him till night.
| After the cattle had been bedded and
the night herders stationed he came
into camp maudlin drunk. The boys
! began to tease him about being drunk,
but he swore that he was perfectly
sober, and offered to bet that he could
walk scratch.
81 noticed just then that the moon
cast my shadow like log across the
creek. L said, 'Scottie, I'll bet you
can't walk across the creek on this
log Scottie looked at it moment
rather obviously, then said: 4 don't
know as I can walk it, but I'll bet I
can coon it. All right, said, coon
| it,
$50 he got down on all fours to
coon it, and, of course crawled splash
into the creek. The boys set up
howl. He scrambled out, spluttering
and cussing, pretty well sobered and
swearing that he would get even with
the kid for that trick And he did.
81 had in my string of COW ponies
the meanest broncho in New Mexico.
No matter how often I rode him he
had to have his pitch-out every time
he was saddled. I made it point to
get off before the rest of the boys were
ready to start. Failing in that, I
waited until they were out of the way.
One morning, nearly two years after
'Scottie' had 'cooned' the log, I
saddled up and mounted. The broncho
put his head down to buck. I jerked
him up sharply, and the bride bit
broke and let the bride off over his
head. Then he began to pitch and
run right toward barbed wire fence.
81 heard 'Scottie's' voice say 4
catch him for you Then his lariat
whizzed by my head and caught the
horse around the neck. 1 glanced
over my shoulder and saw 'Scottie' set
his horse back. 1t came over me in
an instant that he was going to throw
my horse and get even with me. So
jerked my feet out of the stirrups
and got ready to fall. I landed about
thirty feet away, fiat on my back.
After the boys had brought me around,
examined me and found me all there
and no harm done, 'Scottie' turned to
one of the boys and said: Il told you I
would get even with the kid. Chi

which hoist the coal from the interior

runs the pump that keeps the mine
from filling up with water and feeds
the boiler and engine that operates the
machinery. Lizzie is the slate picker

er sisters and little brothers in clearing
the coal of slate as it passes down the
chutes into the storage pockets.
