ROY COLLINS, EARLY-DAY
COWBOY, HON0RED AT FAIR

Roy Collins, early-day cowboy,
was given special recognition at
the Richland County Fair, August
18th. He was born in Waverly,
Iowa, on December Is, 1880. In
1890 he moved, with his parents,
to eastern North Dakota. In 1901
he and a friend headed west on
horseback looking for a location
for a ranch.
When they arrived at Fort Bu-
ford he was informed of a place
located five miles South West of
what is now FairvieW and after
looking it over decided it was the
place for him: His land was on the
Fort Buford Indian Reservation
which at that time was unsurvey-
ed and his cattle and horses ran
on the open range to the west of
the Three Charley Creeks, and
were gathered along with the other
rancher'S stock during the spring
and fall roundupS.
Roy was married in 1906 to Lii
liam Boyes, and continued to make
his home on the ranch until 1925.
He and Mrs. Collins now live 112
miles S.W. of Fairview and a sad
die horse is still a part of his pos
sessions.
