Carrier of the Utica Mail --Leaves Philbrook for..Utica at It A.M. StibscrIbe,for Judith Basin Star A REVERSAL OF OPINION — By WILLIAM A. SCOTT .- - 'I want to tell all ytih tack - heads, that it ain't always safe to judge a man by the kind of work he may be (loin' at thelime . yuh make ,his acquiiiiitimee; 'valise, as a rule, I'ye found it a mighty unstable thing to base an opinnion on.\ The speaker; Conrad Robbins, formai' of the KT swept a glance ,around the little circle of cowboys, who were grouped about the glow- ing stove of the . bunk house, which plainly held in it a challenge for any one who wished to dispute his statement As no one seemed in- clined to take exception to the re- mark he tilted his chair, hack against the lower tier of bunks, fished a sack of tobacco and a bunch of papers from . the capaci- ous pocket of his angora shapp's and proceeded to roll a cigarette with an - exaggeration of manner, that was highly exasperating to the assembled \punchers who were well aware that snail a state- ment was—without exception— the foreruner of a story well worth hearing; coming as it did, from the lips of Con. Robbins: - When the silence had at last be- come oppressive, - Babe .Carter kicked the draft.of the stove shut, cleared his throat apologetically and remarked, \Yuh might be obligin' enough to put ua wise . to the REASON WHY we hadn't ought to use any -old -brand of opinion to fit 'lack -heads' who aint got any .. .more sense than to Work fora liviref I reckon from What yuli•say, rah must 'nh run up • agin a few contradictory examples, to cause yuh to •make a crack like that , \ and gazed in- quiringly across the stove at the foreman. Robbins nodded an emphatic affirmative to the eowpiinclier's query and, after he had licked his cigarette into shape and lit ' it, he platted his feet on the edge of the stove, grinned reflectivly and replied: , shure have, an' if you will be kind enough to keep your bazoo closed 'fora few minute, I'll try and elucidate to yuh.'' ''Yuh see, the play. come up when I was purichin' for the Moon -Anchor outfit, over on Snake ./ river. ''The Moon -Anchor ranch an' the L 0 7 are adjoinin' ranehes, an' of course all us waddiem of the Moon -Anchor knew pretty .much what was goir.'.on at the L 0 7, , so yuh see, that's how I come to know all about this little play. \Of course the most of you string -twirlers have heard of Miss Bell Havers-- 7 enly daughtei of old Cap Havers of the L 0 7, but for the benefit of all of yuh that ain't, I'll say that she certainly was a hum - dandy, both as refers to looks and brains; beet of all she had a dis- position that was good enough to make the angels set ep ail' take notice. About the only thing that she was a - bit unreasonable Over was the trade of sheep herdin' an' sheepherderts; them - 'she'wouttin ; t stand for. She gave, it as her opinion that any man that Would herd sheep was shure wrong, in' some way, in his think -mill, an' as a result, only fit for the company of swine; au' I don't know as she, was tp htatne for the idea, .'cause it was the Way her old man raised her to believe, an' I 'reckon that yuh all kilo*, that n cattleman's idea pi a sheep owner is cut some: . what on the bias. Yuh have all heard about the old sayin' alaut wise men (+engin' their minds, an' fools never? Well yuli can just go shouthe that Miss Bell didn't belong to the later elasS,, 'cause she certainly changed her mind when Alm play come up right—which • shure did, 'alright, alright, an' that toe, while your 'Uncle Fuller' was on the grounds lo see the whole shebang. 'Old(7ap Haver's place, the L 0 7, covers about six hundred acres. The south line of the rant+ is about two hundred yet+ from the edge of, an' parallel to Stetter creek. Everything south of the stream belonged ti,. the cattlemen, an' everything north of it was claimed by the sheepmen as their territory, an' whenever a herder takes a chance at runnin' his bunch across the creek—that being the recogniOd' deadline be. between the sheep an'. the cattle country—I'm here to tell yuh that them Is . generally the devil to pay in about one flop of a yearlin's ear. . 'Well, a gazebo() by the name of Macklin had a lease on the range. Just Across the creek from - the 1, 0 7 ranch, an' . he run about (oily- 'leven thousand head of %%1,0113 ediots on that range every sum trier. Thu most of his herder• were Mexicans; in fact ihey wert all greasers, but one, he was a young fellow from back east some- where, of Scotch -German deseent, an' MiCklin had him holdin' a bunch of wethers all summer, just across the 'drink' 'from the 1, 0 7. 'The lad's IMMO was Herman Madvor, an' it wasn't long before those that had in -elision to get acquainted with him found out that he was a genuine 'Kintneky- Whip.' Its a eineh that if he hadn't a been, he'd uh vertainly jumped that job before he'd herded that bunch for a week. 'Well, Slatter ereek just about went dry that summer, an' it got so low along hi the early fall find a sheep could jump across it about anywhere he took . a notion to, an' as sheep's heads is generally full of them kind of notions, yell eon just go-to---shentini—that—it—rertainly kept young • Ma -Ivor some busy herdin\em back so's they wouldn't get aeross onto the grass- land of tte L. 0.-7. An' I'm a tellin yuh now, it wasn't . any cinch, either, on ;accopet Of the fact that Macklin wouldn't furnish the lad with any dogs to help him \Howsoever by cofitinously keepin' his eye peeled, an' a good bit of eprintin' he managed to keep them . on the safe side of the dead -line most all summer; but . in spite of all his care and hard work, he fell down on the proposition, and the sheep niad;) their little sneak'aerose the drink, into the forbidden, country, en' then there was the 'devil to pay' in about one wink Of a gaat'S eYelash. \The 'sheep had been 'behavin' fine in' dandY . for about a week', an' actin' as though they didn't have the slightest desire to en- croach 'upon the play -ground of time boisieS across the Steream, so Mae, (belie nel to the busi- ness) made up his inind that them woolly ediObiihad ix . meltuled .to be - veil, in\ bein' Considerable leg - weary &tit preVious hot-kotin' it after the 'knot headed cobbler,' (CONTINUED NEXT WEEK) Ow Tubb is putting up a chiek en house for Geo.
