The Spring Roundup
THE season opening promised
l. to be an unusually busy one.
1t was obvious that we were
nearing the crest of a three
years boom. Wild range cattle
were selling at higher prices than
ever before or since. The Chicago
beef market was cOrrespOndlngly
strong. But there were signs of
reaction that made me anxious
to gather and ship my fat beeves
as soon as possible, before the
tide turned.
Every winter two-thirds of
my herd drifted before the Bit
ter blizzards southeast into the
sand hills lying between the sink
of Snake Creek and the head of
the Blue, a splendid winter range
where snow never lay long and
out of which cattle came in the
spring in unusually good con-
ditiOn.
Thus, at the end of the spring
roundup [ was able to cut
fifteen hundred beef steers.

Platte Valley about Ogalalla IN
those days, for it was the north
ern terminus Of the great Texas
trail of the late '7o's and early
'8o's S, where trail drivers brought
their herds to sell and northern
ranchrnen came to bargain.
That day, far as the eye could
see up, down, and across the
broad, level valley, were cattle
by the thousand-thirty or forty
thousand at least, a dozen or
more separate outfits grazing

WOMEN AND
NEN LOST
We're in a Launch Which
Was Run Down by a
Tug Boat.

New York, Sept PA thirty.three-
foot launch, containing a woman and
three or four men. was run down by a
tug boat In the Hudson river opposite
Ninety-second street before daylight
today and It is believed that all of the
occupants OF the launch were drowned.
The launch, named the Madegar, was
one OF scores of such small vessels
which have been constantly fitting
about the American and foreign war
ships In the river, incident 10 the
liudson-Fulton celebration. IL is be-
lieved that the occupants OF the
launch had been visiting the Ameri-
can battleships and were returning
TO the shore when the Madcgar was
struck by the boat The launch was
not overturned and was barely scratch

and ii is believed they were carried
down the river.
The identity OF the Madcgar's own

of its occupants although a woman's
tailored dress and silk coat indicated
TO the police that they were persons
