story of the game with probably the

first time Two well-known cattle
men of southwestern Kansas, one of
whom is now a prominent business
man in Kansas City, started to move
their herds TO the pastures OF Wyo-

than thousand head of cattle. When
they came to the crossing of the
Arkansas river near Coolidge they
found food on. They were unable
to cross for two or three days. To
while away the time the two men en-
gagged in a poker game. When the
flood finally subsidized so that the cat
tie could proceed one of the cattle
men said to his son. who was helping
him 10 drive: Just turn my herd
