SURE, IT'S BEEN TOUGH

When business was good, things
came easy came easy. When it rains

birds have easy picking. But do
birds lay down and starve during a
dry spell? l should say not They
wish for rain until they get hungry
and then pitch in and dig like the
devil.
So, if adversely has befallen you,
don't hang around wishing-grab

tunity and open it to fresh start

loose and drove them either to some
large outfit dealing in horses or else

them few at time.
Hobbies Effective
The short chain attached to the
mustangs leg would not interfere
with walking, but if the horse at
tempted to run away, the chain
would swing around striking the
other leg so hard they would soon
give up all thought of running.
These mustangs when crossed with
domestic horses produced the strong
est, toughest breed Of horses known
in the west. They were well built,
and their spirit was unconquerable.
They would carry a rider until they
dropped dead and never slacken the
pace set to them by their rider.
Breed Built Up
Several men on the plains made a
business. Of raising horses of this
cross. Two of these men in partic-
ular built up breed which will never
be forgotten on the plains. These
were William Rowan, who lived near
Kenton in No Mans Land, and s.
A. Bull, who lived near Hansford,
Texas. These two men had both
been mustang hunters"
The mustangs, like the buffalo,
thinned out and disappeared, except
one small band in old Beaver county,
which had been mo mans land"

LAST WILD HORSES
WERE CAPTURED IN 1907
This Panhandle Was For Years In
tested With Large Droves
Of Wild Mustangs

From Daily Oklahoman:
Kenton, Okla, May 6.-After the
buffalo hunters had succeeded in
killing off the buffaloes on the plains,
a number of them took up hunting
and capturing 'mustangh" or wild
horses, which they would break and
sell to the cattlemen and pioneers.
These were the descendants of
horses which escaped from the
Spaniards and Indians. These had
multiplied rapidly and soon bands
numbering several hundreds were
roaming over the plains.
Horses Kept Moving
The men would start out on these
"mustang runs" riding tough horses,
and when a band of wild horses were
sighted the men would follow the
mustangs, keeping them moving
hour after hour, until the wild
horses would become exhausted.
Then they could be driven into cor
rails, numbers of which had previous
~ been built of strong poles, usually
In the river valley, and sometimes

Once in the corrals the horses were
roped by the men, who threw them
down and attached a short length
