fifteen years old by sticking to the PACK OF
a famous bucking broncho known as blan,
co Diablo This celebrated horse mad
thrown the best riders in Old Mexico ana
many of the most fearless Texan cowboys
Lewis stayed on his back for more than an
hour though the enraged animal bucked
and beloved until he was covered with
foam and ready to fall from exhaustion
Some ten years ago there was a band of
mustangs in the Llano mountains, led by
proud splendid-lookdng black stallion, with
a bald face Many cowboy had dreamed
of possessing this magnificent horse. but
every effort made to capture him had end
ed in failure. Lewis determined to walk
this fine animal down" Setting out early
one morning, mounted upon the best pony
on the ranch. and leading an extra one. the
ambitious negro soon struck the trail OF
the king of the plains and his harem. For
two whole days and nights Lewis stuck
close to the heels of the thoroughly puzzled
mustangs, never giving them time to nip a
bunch of grass. drink a drop of water or
pause for a moment to rest their Wearted
limbs.
On the morning of the third day the mus
tangs began to fall and founder upon the
hot sands in a dying condition. The bald
stallion still staggered forward as If deter
mined to die upon his feet. After some

the backs of the snakes and lizards and
driving them to seek the shade of the cac-
tus. Lewis own horse stumbled and fell to

had expended the last spark of his vitality
in the long chase. The bald stallion was
now alone. The last member of his band
had succumbed to thirst. hunger and ex-
haustion. The prize was almost within the
negro's grasp. for 1t was evident that the
proud spirit of the stallion was broken. and
that he could not summon sufficient
strength to strike trot.
Lewis was determined not to be cheated
Of the valuable prize now so nearly In his
possession. and quickly loosening his lariat
shoulder and set out after the stallion on
foot. He had been in the saddle for more
than fifty hours. with wide-open eyes, ap-
peasing his hunger by chewing jerked beef
and satiating his thirst with an occasional
swallow Of hot water from his canteen.
Another man would have fallen long be-
fore. but this wonderful negro. who pos

Lewis boldly entered the bears den, and he
did not go very far before he found just
what he was looking for. Bruin had COM
posed, himself in his favorite position, with
one paw in his mouth. for long nap. and
when the negro stole In 50 unceremonousiy
upon him he slept on unconscious of dam
ger. Lewis gazed at his fat. oily ribs and
his mouth began to water. Never did a
bear hunter determine upon greater risk.
Lewis placed the pistol close to buin's head
and touched the trigger He did not have
time to turn before the bear struck him
with one paw and knocked him sprawling
upon the floor of the cave. The light was
extinguished and the pistol lost. Lewis
grappled with his antagonist. and by some
means In the darkness he managed to get
on the bears back. and the amazed cow
boys saw this strange combination Of man
and beast emerge from the cave as If they
had been elected from the mouth of a can
non. Fortunately the bear was fatally
wounded. and with blood and brains O0zins
from his head he rolled down the side Of
the mountain, dead. 1t Is doubtful whether
just such another feat has ever been ac-
ture embraced under the fascinating title
of bear stories"
Lewis can easily take up full barrel of
whisky and drink from the bunghole and
he can throw a keg of beer into the air
with one hand and catch it with the other,
playing with 1t as child plays with a ball.
He can take common dining room table
In his teeth. and. while an ordinary man Is
seated upon 1t. he can raise it several feet
above the floor. Not long since. at the
Austin and Northwestern depot at Marble
Falls, he picked up bar of railroad iron in
each hand and walked five steps forward
and then backward to the place of starting.
An excursion boat with Il party of tour
lists on board ran aground at the head Of
the lake a short time since. and while the
crew was preparing to throw out spars
Lewis sprang overheard. and. putting his
shoulder against the bow of the boat,
pushed her afioat and then sprang aboard,
SaamnRlY unconscious of the fact that he
had done something that amazed the boats
crew and passengers.
Lewis Is hardly six feet high but he
weighs 304 pounds and his muscles are as
firm and unyielding as a piece Of wood.
He says that he has always been able to
lift more than any five or six men who
were working with him, that he Is stouter
than any horse or steer that he ever han
died. and that he b not afraid OF anything
on earth but his wife, and she only weighs
ninety pounds.

fectly familiar with the geography of the
country, and as soon a. II became evident
that the wild horse was aiming to strike
d certain crossing on the Llano river he
took a short cut across the hills and got
ahead of his prize. He barely had time to
conceal himself by the side of the trail near
the water before the tired horse staggered
in sight. The proud old king of the plains
was nearly exhausted but the scent and
sight of the cool waters of the Llano quick
ened his step. and. with an eager whinny.
he was about to plunge down the bank
when rope hiSsed through the air and a
moose dropped over his neck. Il jes' had to
laugh says Lewis. ''for 1 never saw any
thing look so surprised like that horse.
Feared like he wanted to say. Well. you
are jes' about the gamest and the slickest
Niger ever saw"
Lewis had captured the famous wild bald
stallion which had for years defied all pur

fastest long-dtstance race horses in west
ern Texas. Old-time cattle men-the boys
who rode the plains before the days of loco
motives and barbed whenever tire of tell
ing stories of this giant negro's prowess.
No long-horn ever grew too big for Lewis.
Whenever he got his rope on a steer that
animal had to go his way He could catch
a big Mexican steer by the horns and drag
him about In corral as another man
would have handled a calf. Upon one oc-
casion Lewis was riding an unruly mustang
and upon approaching a bridge the animal
"sulked," and though the cowboys applied
qufrts and ropes to his hide with great vio-
lence he refused to move out of his tracks.
Lewis was In hurry to catch up with the
herd, and, to the amazement of his COM
rades. he dismounted. and coolly picking
up the surprised mustang in his giant arms
he threw him across his shoulder and car
ried him over the bridge.
In another instance. where there was
grave doubt as to the strength Of the
bridge, Lewis waded into the water, and
