CHARLES BElLEMBERG, PIONEER
STOCKMAM, HAS RETIRED

81 Nothing the matter with tina
} horse said the owner, as he sur
: veyed the proudly arched neck, th'
sensitive nostrils, the kindly eyes ane
the graceful carriage of big sorrel
"All he needs Is kindness and train
ing" Beilenberg began by putting
halter on Badger several times day
Next he added the saddle. After 9
couple of weeks of haltering anC
saddling a curb bit was placed in the
horses mouth and Beilenberg
mounted.
Onlookers held their breath in
their excitement and waited for the
grand plunge. 1t never came. The
graceful animal pirouted and pranced
but never buck.
Since that day, II years ago
Badger-who got his name from his
habit of digging holes that looked
like the entrance to a badger hole,
with his front foot-has made some
records in his line. 1t was nothing
| for man and horse to make the trip
| to Big Blackfoot and back the same
day. Again and again Badger has
carried his master from long before
daybreak until far into the night dur
ing the roundups with never false
step or stumble.
He was a real cow-horse. On one
occasion he drove $50 head of cattle
38 miles in one day with no help save
from his master and a collie dog.
Badger has never shown the white
feather, no matter what call has been
made on his intelligence or his en-
durance. He is full of pep today and
apparently cannot understand why
his old pal will not come out and take
his place in the saddle for joyous
lung-filling dash across the gray-blue
hills of Powell county.
Beilenberg says, I'VE are both on
the retired list now. To the stable
Badger goes at night. In the day
time he will find enough exercise in
the corral. He has done his part in
the work of his day and has earned
his rest"
Badger shakes his head as if in sill
ent protest against being listed as
superannuated and looks lpngingly
away to the hills. If he could speak
and were versed in the achievements
of his species he would probably re-
mind his master that Maud S was 1T
when she broke trotting record and
that Maud S never had the training
to keep her fit that is found on
Montana ranch.

woe. The horse is apparently puz
zled and unhappy. The ranch house
seem to hold the answer to the things
he wants to know.
The man who has bestrode hi
back for II years, with whom he has
rollicked across the hills of Powell
county from daylight to dark, who
first taught him the feel of the bi1
and the cinch, has retired. With
that faculty given to animals, it if

the horse appears to realize the ca.
lamity that has come upon him and
his horse heart is filled with senti-
mental longings for the days thai
we're when he was cow-horse with a
record and his master, a norseman
born to the saddle, who lifted his
mount over the hard going with a
sure hand and a sympathetic touch.
The horse is Badger and the mas
ter Charles P. H. Beilenberg, twin
brother of John w. N. Beilenberg,
pioneer Montanan, and patriotic in
structor of the Grany Army for the
past rs years. Charley Beilenberg
says he has retired and will remove
to California.
For 60 years he has ridden the
range in rain and shine, through
billiards. that filled the eyes and cut
the cheeks like sand blast and for
nearly third of that period old
Badger has borne him sure-footedly.
When lowering night, and slash
ing rain sheets confused the rider
and robbed him of his landmarks in
the wide stretches of the valley,
Badger could always be rlied on to
hit for the home corral. Together
they rounded up the cattle from the
thousand hills or galloped gayly to
the town to take part in patriotic
parade.
The martial music of the band was
dear to Badgers heart, proudly he
arched his neck and cavorted about
until the flag came by whereupon, as
became the mount of a teacher of
patriotism, Badger gravely bowed
his head three times, and then swung
into line with all the dash of a cav
airy horse ready to lead charge.
Badger was foaled in 1900 and
for five years was an outlaw. No
man bestrode him that Badger did
not make to bite the dust as the pen
atty for the indignity to a free horse. |
A lanky cowboy from Texas, who
boasted that he could ride anything |
that wore ha'r" and that he liked
best to ride 'em straight up" was
inspired by an evil genius to throw |
his saddle on Badger.
''Turn him loose" he shouted as |
10 vaulted into the stirrups. The
naddened horse cleared fence at a
bound and struck out across the open
country in series of stiff-legged
Jumps that rammed the Texans back
bone up through the crown of his hat
avery time Badger hit the ground.
The unconquerable beast kept up
lis mad performance for four
straight miles. Every rake of the
pur only made him Jump the harder.
The Texan barely escaped with his
life. Badger was more unruly than
,ver and rider after rider went ca
eening from his back like missiles
rom pea shooter.

idea of wasting his precious boyish
time on unprincipled chickens and set
his wits to working.
