something superequine in the animal,
and that worse luck might attend fur
Their attempts at capture.
The latest wild horse story comes
from southern Utah and it has to do
with a great white stallion. leading a
band of a hundred white horses OF SPLEEN
did build, all PAGERS. This band is said
to have been seen first in Arizona,
about seven years ago, and it is COM
mon report among the stockmen of the
far western ranges that the PAGERS are
so fleet that no horse carrying the
weight of a man can force them into a
run, much less Overtake them.
Some six or eight years ago range
horses Of the inferior sort became ut
terly valueless in many parts of the
West, and to save the pasturage FOR
better stock and prevent deterioration
of the breed by admixture with the
mustang pony blood. ranchmen began

mounts in his string trying to run down
the white stallion without ever press
ing the wild horse to the limit of his
speed and endurance.
Relays Of cowboys tried it. and when
the last Of them gave out the white
stallion was going easily md without
a sign Of distress.
My Texan friend craftily once maneu-
vered the white beauty into a bar
r&7ca," taking advantage of his reluc-
tance to abandon a bunch of mares, and
managed TO get close enough to throw
a rope over his head. But in the very
instant of his exultation disaster over

Many White PAGERS.

In the annual raids on the wild horses
made by the stockmen of Utah and Ne
vada since 1897, it is said the white
PAGERS have been seen many times, but
because OF their size, beauty and general
desirability, no effort has been made to
kill them. The ranchers hope to cap
ture some of them by strategy. believ-
ing that they are of superior breed and
capable Of being trained for racing. If
il is a fact that they are natural PAGERS,
they are not OF mustang stock. but
must be the progeny Of well-bred ami
mails turned out upon the range by
stockmen or lost accidentally some
years ago. But for the great distance
between the Sta1ed Plains and the Col
orado River, it might be a fair guess
that the great white stallion was re-
sponsible for the strange band of white
PAGERS.
An organized effort is to be made by
the stockmen of Southern Utah and
Nevada to secure some of the white
PAGERS, according to reports from Salt
Lake. 1t is asserted that the habits of
the band have been observed. and that
plans have been made by range riders
acquainted with the country in which
the white PAGERS are ranging that can
hardly fail to bring about the capture
of a part of the band.

white stallion had gone away with his
rope. A week later he saw the stallion
grazing with a bunch of mustangs at
a distance. and through field glass he
discerned that the horse had rid him
self of the rope.
That was the last of numerous at
tempts the Texan made or partici-
pated in to capture the big white horse.
He had been in the habit of taking his
time" from the outfit he happened to
be working with. whenever he discov-
cred the white stallion. and putting in
a week or two following the trail, but
he made up his mind that there was

supernaturally to tell the same fictitious
yarn.
From a Texan cowpuncher not given
to romancing / have heard circumstan-
tial accounts of attempts made by him
self and others to capture the white
stallion of the Staked Plains. 4 dozen
or fifteen years ago every cowboy in
the Texas panhandle knew of the great
white stallion and expected to get a
sight of him anywhere between the
Pecos and the Canadian, and many Of
them could tell mighty interesting
yarns about chasing the beautiful beast.
AS described by my Texan friend. the

horse was as tall as a Percheron and as
finely formed as an English hunter;
gigantic and yet symmetrical and clean
limbed. His color was creamy white,
without spot or blemish; his tail, car
ried with the springing curve that
marks the best Arab blood, swept the
ground, and his name was a fieecy cloud
that enveloped his neck and fell almost
10 his knees.
Your Texan cowpuncher knows a
horse, If any man does, and when you
FIND him possessed by an almost insane
desire to own a particular animal you
may rest assured that the coveted crea-
ture is a "sure good boss"
No man ever laid eyes on the white

Wonderful Wild Rofsss.

Therefore there is no reason for dis
missing as fanciful tales the stories told
by cowboys and plainsmen Of wild steeds
of marvellous beauty and speed. leading
bands of mustangs and eluding easily
all schemes for their capture. Every
district of the cattle country, from
Texas TO Montana, from Kansas 10 Cali
fornia, has its legend Of the wonderful
wild stallion, and there is a basis Of
truth for every tale.
It was never my luck to see wild
horse answering to the glowing de-

tales. but have heard cowboys of I'M
