At 4:30 o'clock this morning he
told his wife he was feeling better.
She dozed. awakened at 5 o'clock and
found him dead.
For several hours a report PEI
sisted that Robert G. Taylor. wealthy
Denver oil man. was the dead man.
News of the death of Robert Tay-
lor. former legislator and stockman.
in Cheyenne today came as n shock
to many friends and a-cquaintances
here.
Robert Taylor and Kenneth Nc
Donald came to the United States
from New Zealand more than 80
years ago. They had both been inter
ested in the sheep business during
their residence in the English pos
session and when they came to Amer
lea they naturally turned to that
part Of 1t which would afford them
an opportunity to continue along
their chosen line. Mr.. Mcdonald Is
now an influential stockman in the
Hole in the Wall country.
Mr.. Taylor started operations near
Rawlins. getting considerable stock
around him. but he wished to settle
permanently farther north and con
s%equently a few years later. probably
about 1890. he took up land 30 miles
west of Casper. comprising wha is
now known a. the IF. L. ranch.
He married and continued to pros
per in the business in which he was
engaged until he became known as
one of the influential stockmen OF
Natrona county.
Not content with having only one
base of operations. Mr.. Taylor pur
chased a stock ranch at Abbot. Neb.
which is one of the finest places n
hat part Of the country. The bust
ness in which the stockman was en-
gagged grew to such an extent thai
the Burlington railroad built a spe
cial side track for his use In loadinl

but what a difference now.
For twenty-five years to come. the
