COWBOYS WEAPON THE RIFLE
Never Had the Popularity Of the
"Gun," Which Was Name Univer-
sally Given the Pistol.

In describing the weapons of the
cowboy of the Western range, Philip
Ashton Rollins in his book says: The
rifle, when carried, was conveyed, not
by the cowboy himself, but by his
horse, which bore it in CULVER shaped,
open-mouthed scabbard, into which the
rifle went up to Its stock. This scab-
bard sometimes hung from the saddle
horn, but more commonly was slung,
butt forward, In an approximately hori-
zontal position along the near side of
the animal, and passed between the
two leaves of the stirrup-leather. The
rifle was thus eschewed, because, be-
ing heavy, it interfered with ready
saddling and unsaddling; and, being
bulky, 1t materially detracted from the
riders comfort.
After the early '70s the rifle, regard.
less Of its make. was usually called a

term, because of its similarity to the
name Of q well-known condiment, was
occasionally paraphrased into "Wor-
cestershire." Failing these titles, the
weapon was styled merely rifle" It.

publican Senators for the defeat, OF
the subsidy bill and the repeal OF
the transportation act.
He branded the ship subsidy as

shipping monopoly for 10 cents on
