ton of all men from Is through

for inclusion Of younger men.
The senate supported the ID

CHAPTER XVI

The rounding up of the wild bunch
of riders lost Roper few days; but
within the week Bill Roper and Tex
Long rode into the plains of the Lit
tie Dry.
Here around spluttering fire the
riders crouched in their sodden blan-
kets, like Indians, while Roper gave
out his orders. Thirty-two men and
six outlaw leaders were now in the
field against Walk Lasham's power.
full Montana outfits in the Great
Raid.
Roper's first move had been to
split his renegade riders into five
punches under the leaders that he
knew-Tex Long, Lee Harnish, Dave
Shannon, Dry Camp Pierce and him
self. Hat Crick Tommy he sent to
Miles City in search of further, word
from Jody Gordon; Hat Crick would
later rejoin Roper as messenger and
scout.
1t was Roper's plan that he and
Tex Long, with twelve men between
them, should make the most daring
raid of all; raid upon the big herds
which Lasham held between the
headwaters of Timber Creek and
the Little Dry. Of all the ranges
in which the wild bunch was inter-
ested, this was the nearest Miles
City-the most accessible, the most
closely watched, the best protected.
How many cattle he could transfer
from this range to the starving Ca
madam Sioux, Roper did not know;
but it was his hope to raise such a
conspicuous and stubborn disturb
ance as would mask the operations
of the rest of the wild bunch, and
permit Pierce to work unimpeded.
''The fourteen Of us will split sew
en- ways" Roper told them now. Il
figure Lasham's lookout camp for
this range is about twelve miles
southeast. Well comb every way
but that way. I'm not telling you
how to gather stock Hunt 'em
like you know how to hunt EN-. Move

COW punches. Next day pick 'em
up and work 'em this way. And on
the third day throw your gather
against coulee or something where
one man can hold 'em, and the 9TH

meet me here. l figure this range
is heavy with cattle. l don't see any
