King of the Drove

Copyright. 1905. by Mcclure. Phillips & Col
When the first OF the cattlemen came
Into the San Reno valley they found
drove Of wild horses numbering thir-
ty. The drove was led by gray stall
lion whose beauty and neetness had
been the talk Of progpeetors. trappers
and Indians for two years.
A belated stagecoach over on the
San Luis road, where wild horses had
never been seen, was crawling along
enc night when out of the darker shad-
ows sprang the gray stallion with a
scream Of anger and attacked the lead
ers. Ho bit and tore and struck The
stage was whirled into the ditch and
three passengers badly hurt. and one
eof the four horses was so badly used
that he did not live an hour. Herds OF
cattle lying down for the night and
chewing the cud Of contentment were
routed up and sent flying for miles by
the sudden advent of the gray horse.
Had men admired him less he would
have been ncrcilessly hunted down.
AZ It was they made plans to take him
captive On certain day and date six
~ riders were stationed ut named
points In the valley. and forty men ON
foot guarded certain scrub forests in
which the victim might seek TO hide
a hundred determined men In all-and
how could lone horse hope to escape
the net to be drawn around hlmI
At sunrise the hundred were ready.
For ninety miles east and west, and
for. thirty miles north and south, they
waited for the gray horse. Each
mounted man was to pursue The fugi-
tive for five miles only, going at the top
OF his speed. Then men on foot were
to Ere their rifles and add to the poor
beasts panic.
AS ii the plans OF men had been
whispered ia his ear and as IL he bade
defiance to them and was anxious for
the struggle, the gray horse was at the
lower end OF the valley when the sun
rose. BY means OF flags aud signal
ores the news was communicated to
nil. and the chase began. The wild
horse did not dash away in a panic
On the contrary, he struck gait that
lust kept him well ahead Of the rider,
and not once In a run Of Atty miles was
be seen to break that gait. Then he
turned aside into the scrub and was
hunted for for two hours In vain. He
drank and fed and rested. and then be
charged one OF bis pursuers, dragged
him FOR rods I'm his teeth and resumed
his gallop up the valley.
The night was turned into day by
bright moon. and the plan was to give
Inc horse no rest After covering
eighty miles be disappeared rs shadows
come and so. and his pursucrs had to

NEXT mornirg. as the cast was pur-
plluv The horse came ont Of the dark
raylne in which he had rested Ia safety
