Barber County (Kan..) Index: On Sat
urday evening in the course Of a CONVEX
sation between Tip McCracken of Ell
wood, and Sam Stewart, of this town
ship, recalled a run into the Strip in the
fall of 1893. They each made a run of
forty-five miles and covered the entire
distance in two hours and thirty minutes
They started from Riowa and each landed
on d quarter on what was then the T-5
ranch. The horse Mr.. Stewart rode is
still living. and is now owned by D. c.
Funk. The presence of the horse on the
street at the time reminded Messrs. Stew
art and McCrackeR of the incident Mr.
McCracken's horse died only a short tine
ago, and If there is such Il thing IA
horse heaven he is certainly wearing
crown. Tip thought so much of the horse
that he has saved the hoofs and will
polish them and keep them as a relic Of
his famous ride of 90. The long ride
and fast time did not injure the horses
in the least. ard they were on duty the
following day. There are few records
equal TO this one and the owners of those
two horses have license" to be just a
little proud.
