wagner OF Decatur, Tex. He was a
Bhrewd fellow with an extraordinAri-
ly keen instinct for trade. He con-
ceived the Idea OF buying flaming
red Mitchell wagons at Kansas City
and taking them down 10 Texas to
trade for cattle. He had no trouble
at all getting from 100 TO $50 head
OF steers for n Mitchell wagon and
he reaped q fortune from the traf-
fle. Many n time he was seen on
the trail with fifty brand-new wag-
ons. In a few months he would be
seen coming up the trail with seven
or eight thousand head OF steers and
selling them in small lunches to
Iowa and Illinois feeders.
The first herd that really passed
through Wichita fer Abilene was
driven IN 1867 by o. w. Wheeler of
Texas and consisted OF $4,000 head,
They were on the road about forty
days and got to Abilene about the
first week in September.
The BoodleEs Got In
Early in the history OF the trail |
the legislature OF Kansas began an |
effort to destroy II by regulation.
The idea OF some of the members
was TO divert II from wichita to Ellis
worth. Some Doodle was passed out
to destroy Abilene as a shipping
point in favor OF Ellsworth, but Gov
ernor Crawford blocked the matter.
In 1871 the Santa Fe was COM
pfeted to Newton and Texas cattle
were shipped from that place. Pref
ty soon-in 1y72-the Santa Fe
came to Wichita and hence the trail
ended here for nearly ten years,
when the Santa Fe pushed on to
Caldwell and 'Hunnewell.
Trail Gradually Disappeared
In the meantime a branch trail
was made to Dodge City and that
town with Caldwell and Hunnewell
the Texas cattle ship
ping points.
If Mr.. Siringo spends a year in
the work Of marking the tTEil and
its history, as he promises
10 do, he will make a notable con-
tribution to the historic literature ,
Of Kansas and oklahoma.
If nothing eise was published but
1 review of the men who passed
over the trail the work would have
/ wonderful interest for the genera :.
ions to come.
The Scar Still Seen
The traffic ON the trail was SO
,reat for many years that the scar a
made upon the earth can be plainly =
raced today even among tine we'll =
cultivated farms of Southern Kan :,
as. The blowing and replowing Of h
orty years have been unable to &
rase it. In Oklahoma one can see -
/ from the trains in the form of :.
epression in the cultivated fields. :.

Russell, Kan, Aug. 30.-The Bit
ter feeling between the Germans
