down Lodge Pole creek to the MusSel-
shell river, which was the end Of the
trail.
There were usually from 1000 to
5000 cattle in a trail herd, and the
outfit consisted of trail boss, eight
cowpunchers. cook, a horse wrangler,
about 65 COW horses, and a four-horSe
and the mems blankets. The food pro-
vided was corn meal sorghum molasSes,
beans, salt, sugar and coffee.
1.-The cattle were as wild as buffalo
and difficult to handle for the first
week or 10 days, until they had gained
confidence in the coWpuncherS and &C
customed themselves to the daily rou-
tine. BY that time some old range steer
had established himself leader of the
herd and everything settled down to q
regular system.
The daily program was breakfast at
daylight and allow the herd to Craze
awhile. The horse herd and mess wagon
pulled out and then the herd started,
with two cowpunchers in the lead or
point The man on the left was next
in command to the trail boss, two on
the swing, two on the flank, and two
drag drivers, whose business it was to
look after the calves that played out,
the footsore and the laggards In this
order they grazed along until noon. The
mess wagon would camp; one-hah the
crew would go in, eat dinner, change
horses and go back to the herd as
quickly as possible, and the other half
would eat, change horses, and the herd
would be started forward again. 1t
would be kept moving until the sun
was low and sufficient water for the
cattle would be found Camp would
then be made, one-half the men would
go in to supper, catch up night horses
and return to the herd, when the re-
naming half would do the same. The
herd would be grazing on bed ground,
and by dark would all be down.
THE nights were divided into four
periods. The first watch stood until
10 o'clock, the second until IL O'Clock,
the third until a. m, and the fourth
until morning. In case Of storms or a
stampede, the entire crew was on duty
and remained with the herd until it
was back on the trail again, no matter
how long that might be. 1t was no
main in the saddle 36 hours at
but they never complained, and
not one Of them ever left herd until
OF all the thousands Of herds
driven over the Texas trail, there never
was one lost or abandoned by the cow
punchers.
when the first herds started north,
Indians and Mexican outlaws tried the
experiment of slipping up to the herd
on a dark night, popping a blanket to

off some of the lead cattle and driving

rive And that is just what he did, and
the herd was on the MuSSelsheu in
August and the steers were fat enough
for beef.
Trailing came to be q profession and
the trail men a distinct class. They
came north with a herd in the spring
and returned south in the fall, worked
in the chaparTal, gathering another
herd during the winter and then drove
north again in the spring. They took a
great pride in their work and were
never as happy as when turning fine
herd on the range at the end of the
trail.
1T was a pleasing sight to see a herd
strung out on the trail. The horses
