Upon the occasion of which l am to
speak Moore's route partner had been
ailing. and Moore was anticipating and
dreading that he might have to double
the route. In this anticipation he real
lied that there is time limit to endur-
ance, and therefore be gave the bron-
chos a little more of the steel than
usual and made the trip to Julesburg
in II hours. Arriving at Julesburg, he
had his fears confirmed. His partner
was in bed. He had hoped that he
might have few hours for rest. but
before he had time to dismount and
stretch his cramped and tired muscles
the coyote yelr' of the east going rid
er was heard.
He. drank some cold coffee. filled his
pocket with cold meat and was in the
saddle again for another 40 mile ride.
In order to be able to live the route out
he sent them for all there was in them,
with the result that he arrived at Mid
way. after having ridden $50 miles, in
% hours from the time he had left
there. Ben Holiday gave him a gold
watch and a certificate Of his remark
able performance. Many of the old
frontiersmen now living knew Moore,
knew of his $50 mile ride in % hours
and have seen the watch and certifi-

and 10 hours to perform the feat, and
1t cost the lives Of several Of his best
horses.
After being carried into room In the
old hotel at Independence Aubrey lay
for 4S hours in a dead stupor before he
came to his senses. He would never
have recovered from the shock had it
not been for his wonderful constitu-
ton. The feat was unanimously re-
garded by western men as the greatest
exhibition of strength and endurance
ever known on the plains.
The ride of Jim Moore. noted from
tiersman of the pioneer days, is also
worthy of mention. Moore was man
of almost perfect physique. In fact. by
military standards he was a model.
He weighed 100 pounds. stood feet 10
inches. straight as an arrow, with good
neck well set on his shoulders, small
waist, but good loins, and had the limbs
of a thoroughbred. No finer looking
man physically ever rode broncho
than Jim Moore. He could run like an
Indian, was as active as panther, the
best natured man in the world. but as
courageous as lion.
In the early sixties Moore was pony
express rider. His route was from
Midway station, half way between
Fort Kearney and Cottonwood Springs,
to Julesburg, distance of 140 miles.
Moore rode the round trip of $50 miles
once a week. The stations were from
10 to II miles apart. and fresh horse
of Spanish blood was obtained at each
station. There was little delay in these
changes of horses. as the rider gave the
coyote yell" half mile away, and,
day or night, the station men had the
pony ready. so that the rider had only
to dismount from one horse and mount
the other, and with dig Of the spurs
he was on run again. This ride of
40 miles usually was made in II hours.
On each route there were two express
riders, one going each way. AS easy as
it may seem to some for a man to be-
stride fresh horse after horse for 140
miles, there were few men able to
stand up to it.
