STOPPING A STAMPEDE.

zone of the slickest things I ever saw
in my life,'' said veteran army officer
the other day, was a cowboy stopping
a cattle stampede. A herd of about 800
or 500 had got frightened at something
and broke away pellmel with their
tails in the air, and the bulls at the
head of the procession. But Mr.. Cow
boy didn't get excited at all when he
saw the herd was going straight for
high bluff, where they would certainly
tumble down into the canon and be
killed. You know that when a herd
like that gets to going it can't stop, no
matter whether the cattle rush to death
or not. Those in the rear crowd those
ahead, and away they go. 1 wouldn't
have given dollar a head for that
herd, but the cowboy spurred up his
mustang, made a little detour, came
in right in front of the herd, cut across
their path at right angle, and then
galloped leisurely on the edge of that
bluff, halted and looked around at that
wild mass Of beef coming right toward
him. He was as cool as a cucumber,
though I expected to see him killed and
was SO excited 1 could not speak.
well, sir, when the leaders had got
within about quarter of a mile of
him I saw them try to slack up, though
they could not do it very quickly. But
the whole herd seemed to want to stop,
and when the cows and steers in the
rear got about where the cowboy had
cut across their path I was surprised
to see them stop and commence to nib
bic at the grass. Then the whole herd
stopped, wheeled, struggled back and
went to fighting for a chance to eat
where the rear guard was.
. You see, that cowboy had opened
big bag of salt he had brought out from
the ranch to give the cattle, galloped
across the herds course and emptied
the bag. Every critter shifted that line
of salt, and, of course, that broke up
the stampede. But I tell you it was a
queer sight to see that man out there
on the edge of that bluff. quietly roll
ing a cigarette, when it seemed as if
he'd be lying under 200 tons of beef in
about a minute and a half''
