Wells Brothers The Young Cattle Kings I fully agreed with the detective that Archie would recognize the remudas and outfits as Lovell's, even though the cattle were road-branded out of the usual "Circle Dot." The Outlet I bought four whole remudas on personal account, culled out one hundred and fifty head and sold them at a sacrifice, sending home the remaining two hundred saddle horses. Reed Anthony, Cowman The cook was urging me to supper, but before unsaddling, I rode around both herd and remuda. The Outlet After the noonday halt, the wrangler and myself took our remuda and went on ahead to the river. The Outlet Before dismounting, he rode around the pools, signaled in a wagon and remuda, and returned to the tent. Wells Brothers The Young Cattle Kings With the wagon once started, Levering and myself soon had the full remuda in hand and were bringing up the rear in a long, swinging trot. The Outlet Edwards had two good remudas in pastures, wagons and teams secured, and cooks and wranglers on hand, and it only remained to pick the men to complete the outfits. Reed Anthony, Cowman Since things have changed so, the chances are that I'll bring Bob Quirk back with me, as I've written Flood to help The Rebel sell his remuda and take the outfit and go home. The Outlet The former had his cattle split in two bunches, while I had my wagon and remuda on the other side of the river from my herd. The Outlet I might dispose of the third herd here and give the remuda away, but at a total loss of at least thirty thousand dollars on the Buford cattle. The Outlet After making the delivery, early in August, on his employer's orders, he had brought his remuda and outfit into Dodge, the horses being also sent to pasture and the men home to Texas. The Outlet The men still carried rifles against surprise, kept a scout on the lookout while at work, and maintained a guard over the camp and remuda at night. Reed Anthony, Cowman Meanwhile a remuda of horses and two chuck-wagons were sighted back on the old wood road, but a horseman met and halted them and they turned back for Ogalalla. The Outlet Little time was lost in starting the herds, mine in the lead, while the wagons got away well in advance, accompanied by Forrest's remuda and the isolated contingent of cattle. The Outlet I may have to winter my remudas in the North, or drive them home again, and if I put two dollars a head freight in them, they won't bring a cent more on that account. The Outlet Seay and myself put behind us the few miles between the two wagons, and dashed up to mine just as the outfit were corralling the remuda for night-horses. The Outlet I sold all the wagons and sent the remudas to our range in the Outlet, while from the first cattle sold the borrowed money was repaid. Reed Anthony, Cowman Turning halfway in his saddle, he looked over towards Flood's remuda and said: "One of you boys please ride over and tell Paul I want him." The Outlet I just got the idea that you wanted the remudas for the Buford herds to be equally good. The Outlet This gave the last three watches two horses apiece for night work, but with the distinct understanding that in case of accident or injury to any horse in the remuda, they could be recalled. The Outlet As he looked over the remuda, the scent seemed to get stronger, and when he noticed the 'Circle Dot' on those work-mules, he opened up and bayed as if he had treed something. The Outlet Add those to your old remudas, and cull back your surplus, allowing ten to the man, twelve to the foreman, and five extra to each herd in case of cripples or of galled backs. The Outlet When the old remudas were again separated, they were counted and carefully looked over by both foremen and men, and were open to the inspection of all who cared to look. The Outlet But as soon as we received any cattle, night-herding the remuda would cease, and we must either hobble or resort to other measures. The Outlet The entire morning was spent working with the remuda. The Outlet The herd had started on for the Saw Log, while the remuda had wandered down the river about half a mile, and it took us nearly an hour to give them a thorough inspection. The Outlet They had bought two whole remudas, and picked over five or six others until their purchases amounted to over five hundred head. The Outlet Boys, I suppose you are all anxious to get a good remuda for this summer's trip. The Outlet Forrest and I turned to and helped our old foreman cut out his remuda of the year before. The Outlet He was a showy animal, a dapple gray, fully fifteen hands high, bred in north Texas, and belonged to one of the whole remudas bought in Dodge. The Outlet Bob's wrangler was also with us, and he and Levering quarreled all the way in about the respective merits of each one's remuda. The Outlet Our remudas last year were all picked animals. The Outlet You four old foremen will use your remudas of last year. The Outlet In my remuda over one half the horses were afflicted with ticks, and many of them it was impossible to bridle, owing to the inflamed condition of their ears. The Outlet Lovell and Flood had arrived in Dodge some ten days before, and looking over the situation, had come to the conclusion it was useless even to offer our remudas. The Outlet Lovell insisted on staying with the lead herd, and pressing him in as horse-wrangler, I sent him in the lead with the remuda and wagon, while Levering fell into the swing with the trailing cattle. The Outlet Leaving Sponsilier delighted with the change in his remuda, I rode to overtake the undivided band which were heading for the ranch corrals. The Outlet I had a remuda in sight that my very being had hungered for, and now I would take no chance of losing it. The Outlet The other remudas were all in sight of the ranch, while a majority of the men were eating a late dinner. The Outlet A ranch remuda was driven in, and we saddled. The Outlet A hasty breakfast over, my brother asked for mounts for himself and men; and as we were corralling our remuda, one of the three lads on herd signaled to us from the mesa's summit. The Outlet It started in snickers, and before the cutting back was over developed into peals of laughter, as man after man learned that the dapple gray in Tolleston's remuda was blind. The Outlet Calling for all the men in Tolleston's outfit, the two rode away for that remuda. The Outlet After the culling back was over, and everything had started for the ranch, to oblige Sponsilier, I remained behind and helped him to retrim his remuda. The Outlet There's your remuda and outfit, then," said Lovell, pointing to the one intended for Tolleston, "and you'll get a commissary at the ranch and go into camp this evening. The Outlet With instructions from our employer to return to the ranch after making camp, the remudas were started after the wagons. The Outlet We did not take out certificates in Medina on the remudas as a matter of economy. The Outlet But when about halfway down the slope towards the river, two mounted men were seen to halt the remuda and wagon for a minute, and then continue on southward. The Outlet As we pushed out of the river and were crossing the tracks below the railroad yards, two other herds were sighted coming down to the water, their remudas having forded above and below our cattle. The Outlet On the other hand, Mr. Dave Sponsilier would have traded whole remudas with me; but my love for a good horse was strong, and Fort Buford was many a weary mile distant. The Outlet |
