tied and fed hay from the top Of the
shed.
1t was just about dark when we
built small fire down by the creek;
we emptied our greasy sack on the
grass. Did l smile with glee! There
was a boiled ham, a hunk of cheese,
sugar coffee. I felt like I'd never
be hungry again when l went up to
the shed and lay my head in my
saddle away from them pesky little
humming birds
We didn't start out very early in
the morning The sheep manure was
nice and soft under my saddle blan-
ket. / took all the time / could: l
didn't like to crowd them three
stand and deliver boys They might
overdo their horses.
We rode about 10 miles when we
saw band of woolies off southeast
a short distance. / said to Tex,
Being as we are deputy sheriffs.
think we should interrogate the
shepherd as to what he may have
seen of horsenen yesterday.
The herder started talking as soon
as we got in shouting distance. He
wanted his wagon moved. Where
was the tender? He wanted some
grub. He wanted so 5000 cartridges,
the wolves and coyotes were killing
his sheep.
See Any Riders?"
Tex wedged in a question did he
see any riders yesterday?
Yes, about shutdown three men
rode up onto Lookout Pinnacle, a
cone-shaped butte on the edge Of
the prairie where Rock creek starts
down the breaks to the Missouri
The butte had scattering jack pines
that were denser near the top-s
good place to hide and a good place
to make stand, water pretty vel
up gully that cut up its east side
and enough grass on top to feed
three horses a few days.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-08-01

sun was getting low and we were
about five miles east of the Phillips
ranch and about Is miles south of
Wagner, whistle stop on the Great
Northern railroad.
Tex asked me if / wanted to 90
over there and get a fresh horse. l
told him. no, thought High Withers
could make it to Winters by day
break, it was only so more miles and
liked to hunt train robbers in the
dark.
Remember the sheep shed over
there along Beaver creek? It's about
seven or eight miles. Well camp
there. It's covered with good blue
Joint, says Tex
Over the Ridge
We rode up on little ridge. There
was the shed and three horses down
by the creek. Tex held out his hand
and whispered. "Turn around" We
rode back out of sight, dropped our
lines and crawled back on the ridge.
One of the horses was chewing; the
other two were standing with their
heads down. That's their horses, two
played out, the other got little stuff
in him yet.
We waited a little while to be sure
no one was around the shed. Them
guys might not believe us if we told
them we were looking for horses.
They had changed horses quite a
while ago. The three horses by the
creek were dried off except around
the spur marks on the bellies of the
two played out. Snake eye had
taken himself a roll on the ground
and looked o. K. He was Circle
Bar with yellow eyes. We broke him
UP in Beaverhead county and rode
him with the trail herd last year
He was the best Circle Bar / ever

Inside the sheep shed the sign was
plain where three horses had beer

face with bunch of grass, we went
over to see what had happened. The
guy said he was practicing drawing
his AS off the hip. His thumb slipped
and he shot the heel off his boot.
Well, if he had to run for his horse
he wouldn't have to carry so much.
Tex says, young fellow, can tell
yer something's"
Sure; what?"
IF yer wanta get yer SIX gun fast,
carry it on yer belly"
Tex and me had been alternating
guard, except when we were both
asleep. So when Jack came around
to say it was time for us to give
physical demonstration of our belief
in enforcement of law and order, we
were not too fatigued from lack Of
sleep.
My Feet Hurt
Leather was on the west side, Jack
would join him, they would take
three steps up and forward, that was
the cue for the next man on each
side to start up. Simple as an cleo
trio eye; except my runover boots
were hurting my feet, which caused
me to be quite a way behind when
the top of the pinnacle was reached.
Had I but had a camera then TO
have registered those facial express
sions, ! might today have been =
great physiognomist instead of moth
ing.
What do we do now? Nobody
knew. We were all up a pinnacle.
The climb was worth while to me
because there was a rock pen at the
top, about IL feet square and 4 feet
high. 1t was old and rusty and fun
of rat holes. I could visualize :
bunch of Flatheads throwing it up
to save their hair from the Sioux.
Leather made a little talk: We had
just as well quit, there was too many
range horses to try following a trail
I was saved from a violent death
once more.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1951-08-01

The trail we had been following
since leaving the sheep shed kept
bearing off to the southwest, head
ing for the Missouri south of Lam
dusky. If it didn't change it would
lead us to the pinnacle. Tex agreed
to my suggestion that we quit the
trail and ride to the Winters ranch
and wait for Leather. l thought of
that little jingle:
"He who fights and runs away,
lives to fight another day."
about an hour before shutdown
Leather and Deputy Jack Teal
showed up at the Winters ranch
with about 20 men, most with small
packs on the backs of their saddles
like they expected to be on the trail
a few days. In our report to Leather
we told him of the three horses and
the pinnacle. Leather made some
medicine and decided to go to the
pinnacle after letting the horses eat
a little.
D61Of0 we 1G1G ABOUT ~ u104 came
in from up Chinook way. It COM
menced to look like Fourth Of July
after ALL depending on what some of
the fellows carried on the back of
their saddles.
Attack at Dawn
1t was almost dark when we got
to the pinnacle. We were going to
form circle around the base and
start up at daylight; if we did it in
the dark we might kill each other
when we converged at the top and
there wouldn't be anyone left to tell
the tale.
It was perhaps 10 or II that night,
Tex and me were stretched out on
our backs talking when a gun went
off near the fire to the west. II
sounded like cannon. / don't know
how it happened: all ! know is I was
down on my face in the mud and
After I'd rubbed the mud off my
water.
