The Teton peak. [volume] (St. Anthony, Idaho) 1899-1904, 1903-07-23

Trapper Seymour's recent downfall
came through the misappropriation of
George Little Srs pet single footing
saddle horse. George Sr. happened to
have been, in the days of the Pony
Express, one of its star Utah riders, and
also County Commissioner Ed Little's
paternal ancestor Pioneer day being
close at hand George Sr was wroth at
his neighbor Trapper Seymour for
riding his peacock saddle horse about
town and hied himself to his son
demanding that the wheels of justice
and official weakness be forthwith set
in motion. 1t was done and the arrest
| followed
Because not like in Trapper Seymours
case bail was not forthcoming, Ireland
and Collett grew sour, and in rage
wished to have their alleged partners in
theft share their confinement and the
Waldorf Astoria menu furnished by
Sheriff Harrop to his enforced guests
twice daily.
Instead of the soft side of a saddle
for pillow and blankets for a bed the
cOnsumptive mattresses of the bastile
coupled with the fear of the long years
| to come i'll servitude at something
productive instead of idleness and
dissolution caused these knights of the
saddle to disclose the name Of Walter
Lewis, formerly of Bear Lake, Idaho,
and one George Young, who has been
his range mate for some eight years
past.
This led to Mr.. Robert Hayes, of Iowa,
resident treasurer of the Teton Tele-
phone Company, to swear out warrant
} for the theft Of his roam saddle horse
widely known in this country as Rain
! In Nhn 70, ,n+., oct
adorned with the stray pound brand
} and ridden by George Young in the
, peaceful and pastoral pursuit of herding
Walter Lewis's sheep
, When Sheriff Harrop arrested Young
} about twenty miles from st. Anthony
, he was hitting the high places fast and
} furious as Tam o Shanter on the famous
: mare Meg When called to halt, he
, quietly informed Sheriff Harrop, that
1 he was on his way to camp, but the
, Sheriff and others are of the firm belief
| that the dim line marking the horizon
$ of the range, where arrested which he
! was heading toward, meant the line
t between Idaho and Wyoming rather
+ than the sheep camp OF the aforesaid
Lewis The visions of friendly jackson
I Hole confederates, trout, and elk steak,
t vanished, He returned to share the

4 If there is anything in the reincarna-
o ton theory the angel presiding over
e Collett and Ireland's birth must have
said in angel language as u punishment
a for sins committed in prior existence,
e Thou shalt yearn to thy undoing for
n the things thou shouldst not Thou
8 shalt crave the love of fair women of
y the under world and the possession of
:. fleet ponies, thou shalt love the food and
q sauces of the livestock kings. Thou
d shalt love the champagne when it
e fizzeth and the sheep-herders cocktail
g when it fizzeth not, and these things
shalt be as thine enemies and lead TO
l. thy downfall.
e Rain In The Face calmly waits as
d evidence in the care of the Sheriff
is waxing fat and strong. Softly as the
r, thistle down falls, Colonel Hamer and
% Sheriff Harrop are weaving the net of
n evidence about the riders of others pet
" horses and the near future promises
Is surprises in the shape of arrests for
Of visiting horsetheives.
d Dan Stevens is now in jail in Dillon
Is Montana, awaiting next term of court
er for bringing to Market Lake, Idaho
some stolen horses and selling them tt

y, trailed the stock, wired the DilloI
Il authorities, and a man was sent tC
N Omaha, and the stock recovered. All
Is it is reported, are connected with thu
