THE STORY OF
A STAMPEDE.

Cowboy life twenty years ago in
Texas was very different from
what it is to-day. Then the big
ranches were unknown and the
cattle were raised in the open
prairies, and the maverick" had
not become extinct. 1t was in the
year just preceding the incident
here related that / saw service as
a cowboy and was thorou ,hly
familiar with life on the trails. Of
the incident itself l was not an
eye witness, but it was told to me
by my friend, Mr.. M. B. Davis, an
old Texas ranger and cowboy, who
is to the early life of Texas what
Joaquin Miller is to California. I
give the story as nearly as I can
remember it just as it came from
his lips. 1t chronicles one of the
most desperate stampedes ever
witnessed by Texas cowboy.
In 1876 the Wilson brothers
of Kansas City, having purchased
over $4,000 head of cattle in
Hamilton, Comanche, Coryell and
Bell counties, and having arranged
to centralize the herd near
Comanche Springs, in McLennan
county, drove to the Bennett hills
and went in to camp to await the
carrying out of their orders.
These cattle were driven across
the Leon at various suitable fords
and converged on that beautiful
prairie, in the center of which now
stands the town of McGregor. Or
the fourth of July of that year the
entire herd was under way, head
ed for Towash, on the Brazo,
river. 1t was a magnificent army
of steers, in superb condition, KEEP
together by corps of % cowboys
mounted on bronchos-men ex
perienced in the business. Tn
herd was not pressed, the objec
being to let them Craze on the ricl
heritage, with q view to keepin,
them in good condition and reach
ing the market in time to catch tn
best prices in the fall of the year
AT four O'Clock in the afternoon
there were signs of an electri
storm. A black cloud shower
above the foothills, and the SUI
shining against it painted rain
bow which appeared to touch tn
earth at both ends. The entir
herd became nervous and Shove
their fear by those low believing
ominous to the experienced cattle

Cattle are not able to sustain a
long run, and this the cowboys
know. For instance, a mad speed
of five miles is enough to break
down almost any steer; and the
cattlemen knew how the country
lay beyond them, and in this re-
spect they had an advantage.
The reinforcement of the cow
boys who were off duty, and who
had hastily mounted and joined
those on watch at the time, gave
them a strong advantage in the
efforts being made to stop the
stampede. The plan was to get
the cattle to milling" or running
in circle. The elder of the Will
son brothers had been q cowboy
from childhood. He was riding
cream colored stallion, and rs he
passed me he had his Colts re-
volver in his hand. One of the
cowboys on gray horse was able
to keep up with him. These two
distanced all the others. They
rode across the front of the STAN
pede, which is feat attended with
terrific danger; for when a rider is
in front of the rushing drove of
mad cattle, if his horse should
stumble and fall, he may be put
down as thing of the past. The
herd will wipe him out" This
Mr.. Wilson knew, and the cowboy
riding close TO his crupper also
knew; but they were going to take
all the dangers and get that herd
running in circle if it were pos
-Isible to do SO.
tome cattle can outrun others,
and in this case there was a bunch
of about so fully 20 yards in ad-
vance, and toward this leading
group the two rescuers rode, OF
the leading group, also, some were
faster than others, and this group
ran in a diamond shape, with two
immense steers leading all. When
Mr.. Wilson and his companion
reached the two leading steers
they began shooting their revolvers
close to them, and in that way
Q the bunch was made to oblique,
and as the leading bunch of cattle
: obliqued the main, stampede
3 obliqued, and the first step in
t milling" had been taken. BY
a this time the cattle were getting
a tired. Nearly five miles had beer
o covered, and the breath of the
g leaders was coming short ane

d on, because the front cattle at thiI
+ time knew as a matter of fact theil

horse always reminded those who
saw him ride of the tabled centaur,
He rode far forward and bent over,
so that be and his horse appeared
to be one animal. No horse, how
ever rugged, wild and woody" had
ever been able 20 unseat him. This
Aztec had been to the little brandy
runlet too often, and had filled and
emptied his tin cup with surrep-
titious iutoxicants, so that his
usual excellent judgment went
awry. When he succeeded in get
ting mounted, after having fumbled
with his bride good deal, he WAS
far in the rear and the stampede
had gone past him, 80 that when
he overlook the rear end, he passed
to the front on the other side, and
rode on the wrong flank. When
he reached the head of the herd
he was just in time to defeat the
maneuver then under execution of
bending the moving mass from
straight line to semicircle. Re-
volver in hand, disregarding the
other men, he began shooting in
the faces of the wild steers; and
the effect of this was to straighten
the run and bring the advance
straight towards a reoipice. This
precipice was wash in the prai-
RE, forming a deep ravine fully 30
yards wide; and in shorter time
than it takes to tell of this contre-
temps the head of the column was
pouring over. horrible cascade
of beef, plunging madly into de-
struction while fleeing from an
imaginary danger. When Mr..
Wilson and his lieutenants saw
that it was impossible to save their
cattle they saved themselves by
dexterously turning at right angles
at full speed and riding out of the
way. They next returned to the
flank and held council of wars
A few seconds decided them, and
all hands commenced shooting into
the herd, the object now being to
build brea t-work of carcasses
and save the rear end from the
destruction that had oyertaken
the front. The gully was nearly
full of cattle by this time They
were snorting and believing,
crashing and tearing, and still
heaping up; and when the firing
began the wounded ones tumbled
over on the others, and in short
time the gully, like the sunken
road at Waterloo, was bridged by
carcasses. The herd surged up in

Judge Wilson Of the Cuero dis
trict is making splendid reputa
ton. At the recent session of
district court at Cuero he overruled

Judge we want. Would that we
had more like him.
