"LITTLE TEX , "
A Cowboy Trogwdy in the For-
Off Owyhee Mountain ? .
Portland OrfKonlin.
It was just n year ago to-day that
two youug mon , named Olark nnd
Denton , employed on ono of those
largo cattle ranches that are now to
bo found only in the territories ,
started out from the "homo station"
to hunt up a band of boot atoors that
had been roaming in the hills nearly a
dozen miles away , Winter wns com
ing on , and the San Francisco butch
ers were clamoring for more steore.
The two youngsters were employed
by Jnhn Callow , an old-timer , who
had not been east of the Hookies in
thirty years or more. Early in the
small fifties ho was mining away up in
Northern California , where ho made
good wagcf , but like nil the rest of the
big-hearted men of the Argonantio
era , apcut it ns ho went along. Eirly
in the sixties ho waa ono of the in
'
trcpid band who cro'scd the Sacr.i-
mouto river near oil Fort Heading
and struck out eastward over the old
emigrant trail. For three hundred
odd miles this party of eighty gallant
prospectors defied every danger that
bravo men over mot. Their line
of march lay through n track-
lees wilderness , where boars
were thicker than raccoons
are in any part of the Sacramento Val-
loy. The largo bands of hostile In *
dtans , now fortunately extinct , the
Wylackas and Taschastns , then ranged
up and down the streams which united
to form the Sacramento , and every
night the camp was guarded as though
the cohorts of Tamerlane threatened
to swoop down upon it. After untold
hardships the party reached Jordan
Oreek , where they found the great
Bonanza of War Eagle Mountains.
Years rolled by and the diggings were
honeycombed. John Oatlow began
to invest in cattle , and u few years
eaw him rich nnd prosperous , with a
domain extending further than ahorse
could gallop in n day. The business
of his ranch called for an army of
riders ; men export iti oaddlo nud born
to some other feeling than fear of per
sonal danger. In the morning while
the lada were eating breakfast , n Ion ?
row of saddle horses hitched in front
of the door made an appearance ai if n
company of dragoons had halted and
were foraging upon the hospitality of
TUB IDA1IO CATTLE KINO ,
who had the entire range of sixty
mtlca vividly photographed in his
mind , just as u skillful river pilot
knows every rock and snog in his
river , nud can rely upon escaping thorn
on nny night light enough to coo the
water without a wind ripplo. Break
fast over , the cattle king walked
slowly to the firo-placo , and , filling
his monstrous meerschaum with tobacco -
bacco enough to make nn elephant
drowsy , ehovelcd up n live coal and
tamped it down with hia thumb.
"Well , boya , Igueas we'll begetting
ready for another drive to Winno-
muck. Carroll , you and Bill Howard
stay home to-day and hava the wogon
horses shod. Look well to the grub
wagon , for I don't want it to break
down with the fodder and have to
leave it in the middle of the desert.
Packard will not the ahoea on eight
horaes for you to-day , and nigger Dan
will go for cook. "
"Whatahall I do , air , " aakea Nathan -
than Olark , a dark andnwarthy young
herdsman , known aa "Littlo Tex. "
"Well , Tex , you and Frank Benton
go over into Juniper flat and rouse
out them steers over there. Bring
'cm over aa far as the French corral.
They'll crooa the river easy now , while
the water's low , and no ice a runnln' .
When you got to the French corral
you will find Blue Peter in thoro.
i'io him to the fence before you turn
in the atcera , or ho will bo nagglin'
them to death. " "Blue Potoi" waa a
dark blue roan bull from the once
famous Whipplo herd at San Matoo. '
lie owed hia name to his peculiar
color , and Mr. Outlaw owed a largo
aharo of hia ample fortune to the lusty
old aultan whoso sono and daughters
were nibbling the succulent bunch-
grans oil a hundred hillsides. But the '
veteran wns in the aero and yellow
loaf of * lifo and the herd needed an Infusion -
fusion of now blood. Show old John
a bull that Baited him , and ho would
pay five hundred dollars for him as
quickly aa ho would three. Ho t
knocked the ashes out of his pipe and >
said :
"Oobloy , you rldo up the boggy
meadow nbovo the French corral , and
you'll Gnd Blue Peter in there with
about a dozen cowa. Drive 'cm cM up
into the corral r.nd then drive the
cows. Then you go on and make the
beat of your wny across the river , to
meet Bunton and Little Tex with the
eteera that are comin' in from Juniper
fl t. They will got there about 10
o'clock , and it'll ' take 'cm coven houm
to got the etoera back to the corral for
the night. Wo can easy bring them
up hero in the morning. Ef I have
time I'll drive down to the corral and
load old Pete homo. Pete otnyu in the
barn for the rest of hia dayti. Ho
waa a good investment , nnd ho nhan't ;
bo loft to starve on the hillsides. Two

DAMON AND VT7IIUH.
Some six ycara previous to thp po-
rlod of this story n mnn named French
had owned a portion of the ringo nf
which Qfttlow is novr solo mnjter. JJo
built a strong corral on the line bo
tweoti himself nnd hit noighborr , with
the undorMiinding that both mould
ha o free ueo of it in cor.tulernUon of
the water right , which wns from a
spring on O.vtlow'a land. Urnce the
corral got its name mid rotnincd it
long nfter Its builder had cold out
and quit the country. The lads
rode along by It nndaflotdod nutrangu
contrast ns tuny galloped eido by side.
Nathan Olark wns n plump , muscular
young man , with dark hair and eyes ,
betraying hio nationality in the gu'f
states ; Uontoii , the only native of
Oregon in the whole outfit of covbojs
on old John's ranch , waa of alight
figure and featured delicate
, ouough
for a school girl. Ilia frame w a ot the
atub-and-tnist order , however , ami how
wife s nctivo na ft cit. At first " \Vub \
foot" was the general butt of the
ca ; bub ns ho was very conaotontious
in the discharge of his duty , ho coon
grow into favor with the elder horckra
nnd the major-domo who kept the
accounts of the ranch. Apparently
slight in tiguro and delicate ot consti
tutlon , ho was as sinewy and powerful
tuB man of his weight as could bo found.
Born on the banks of the grand
old Columbia , at Hood river , just
when Oregon was knocking at the
door of Oongress for admission into
the Union , ho had shared the drudg
ery incidental to the llfo of on Oregon
fanner's son till 1879 , when ho went
out to SnnLo river with n party of
prospectors ! from The D.illcs. The
placers proved worthless and the par
ty disbanded at Silver City , where ho
entered into the service of his present
employer. Between him and "Little
Tor" had grown UD a brotherly affec
tion. They rode together at all hourj ,
and were the first in the saddle nnd
the _ , last . . to dismount. Ono day Fill
Forraaid :
"Tox , I think yon and Webfoot had
ortor got married. "
PNato Olark' . f ace flushed with anger
for a moment , and then ho oaid In a
quiet way :
"If I knew a woman that I thought
aa much of aa I do of Frank Benton , I
would marry her to-morrow. "
On they galloped past the French
corral , over rocka and through plushy
bottomn , up hill and down dale. It
waa nearly 11 o'clock when they
reached Juniper Flat , and found about
a hundred head of steers browsing
among the stunted troea. Riding up
the summit of the Bleep hill and look
ing northward toward the line of tim
ber which marked the course of the
Boieo river , there was not a hoof or a
horn in sight. "Little Tex" turned
around in his saddle , nayiug :
' Rsckon they're all hero , Frank ? "
"Yea , all there is to gtt , " replied
hia companion.
IN TUB ICY WATEHS 0V TUB OWYHEE.
The two rr.ou now dashed In and
out the stunted trees with loud cries
of " ! " "Git homo old "
0 "Honp-la , Nigl"
"Oat > of that , Timbprfoot ! " "Look at
ye , Broadhornal" " And soon the
whole band were cantering slowly
down the hill towards the Owyhoe
river. It was a lovely autumn day ,
clear and cool. The cloudless nky
above , and the air , purer than can bo
found anywhere doe , tinged with
frost oven at noun , betokened an
early and severe winter. From Ju
niper Flat to the "homo station" of
the ranch was about twenty-two
miles southeast , while the old and de
caying town called Silver City waa
about a like distance. At lait the
band ] reached a grove of cottonwoods
on the bank of the Owyheo , and
"Tex" rode ahead to the water's edge ,
to keep the herd from going down
atream. Above the ford the water
was so deep that they would
not attempt it. At last the loadera
of the band had crossed aafely
to the opposite bank. Benton waa
bringing up the roar , and the laat of
the stragglero was already in the wa-
ter , which wai cold as ice and awifter
ithan i mill race. Nathan Olark then
started his horao forward , and as ho
did so the brute stumbled and throw
hie head back wildly in hia offorta to
regain his footing. Aa ho did BO , 0d 0a
head struck Olark fall in the face and
knocked him out of the saddlo. Be i-
fore he could "recover himself ho was
thirty yards down stream , where .1k .1o .1P
Hank into a deep hole. Ho came up
with a frantic ecronni and sank back
to rise no more. Poor Frank Benton
waa nearly crazed with nnguiuh a ho
paw his friend disappear in the angry
wotcra , and behuld the terrified horeo :
galloping homeward wilh the saddle
turned under his belly. It wan past
noon , bu'tho day had never grown
warm. Frank drove the lust of the
cattle over , knowing they would not
crocs back again.
In the mean time Oobloy had napa-
rated tha polygamous "Blue Peter"
from the quadruped houria of his
harem , and wan about to ride down to
the ford to meet Clark and n ,
when ho recollected that It was nearly
noon , and there waa to bo a pot-pio ,
for dinner at the ranch house. More
over , It waa to bo prairie chicken potpie -
pie , ao Oobloy muat take it in. So ho
led the old bull up to the atablca aud
got there in time to got a plato at the
second table.
"See anything of Tex and Webfoot
in your travoh , Ooblej ? " asked the
proprietor of the ranch.
"No ; I reckon they had u job hud-
dlln'tho band , " waa Oobloy'a reply.
'I Bhonldu't ' think so , " replied Mr
] "on cold daya like this they
generally got in among the junipers
, aud it don t take lung to got to'
i gttther. Ride down aud moot them
after you fioiHh dinner. "
Oobley mounted1 again aa BOOH ua hock
: hoi finitthod dinner and rode bad
toward the river. Aa ho emerged fron
the hollow where the Irouch corra
atood ho saw the band cf eteerd coin i
ing down the trail which led over tin
low divide ,
"So here they are at last. Why
they are way ahead of the boys

What's up , I wonder ? "
The terrified horse galloped np the
corral and Ojbloy dismounted , Approaching
preaching Ohalkliuo carefully , ho first
patted him on the neck nnd then began -
gan to extricate him from the mam of
vrcck wi.h which ho WAS ontnnglod ,
The horau's knees were badly skinned ,
indicating that ho had n novoro fall.
Cobloy lad him back to the stables ,
saying :
"Thorns something gone wrong
with 'Little Tex , ' for 1 caught
Ohnlklino near the corral with the
saddle turned. The cattle nro mound
there nnd they're pretty badly ftm up.
But I rode np to the head of the
low divide and could BOO nothing of
the boys. "
"Thero must bo something the matter -
tor , " said Mr. Catlow , with n look of
alarm. "Tex and Web never would
have run the steers like that ; and
then the sorrel horse comin' home
alone , too. Wait , and I'll go with
alV "
you.
An iron-gray stallion , a son of the
mighty Lodi , stood nt the barn door.
Vaulting into the taddlo with a lightness -
ness not to bo expected in n man of
his years , old John and Cobloy rode
down . ( to the corral , where they spent
an hour In penning up the stccro.
Then they started tor the river , but
not a sign could they ROO of the boys.
It ( was now past 3 .o'clock , nnd the
dull < , pray , hiudon sky foretold n cold
and ! pitiless night.
LASlOINd THU BOOT.
Meanwhile , Frank Bouton had pursued -
sued hio eonroh for the body of h'u
lost companion. Itas too late in the
year for hydraulic mining , and the
river wan quite clear , llo rode Hlowly
along the bank and looked into every
holo. Everywhere ho could uco the
bottom , but not a glimpse of the body
of his friend. A bright thought
struck him. "Tho big drift below the
muddy crossing , " ho said , and put
spurs to his horse for a point live
miles down the river from where
"Little Tex" loot his lifo. Half ou
hour later ho stood beside a vast
"jam" of logs of every imaginable
kind of timber. There was a hat
swirling J about in the foaming eddy.
The poor lad scarcely know what to
do. The water was forty feet deep
,
behind the jam , and probably his
dead friend lay at the bottom of it. In
his dcapatr ho gave a glance up the
stream , and saw an object rolling
down through u rifilo , It caught
against n anag. It was the body of
Nathan Olark.
Snifc water and a tired man are not
oatily reconciled. Benton felt that if
ho alighted from hia horao and undertook -
took to lift his dead friend out of the
water , ho might become parulyzod
with cold and lose the body altogether.
So ho rode in as close to the Bnaj us
he could and made a 110030 of himiutu ,
which ho slipped over the dead nnn'n
shoulder. Then span ing his horao ,
ho ] dragged the corpse out on the river
bank. j
"Oh , God forgive me , " thought the
tender , hearted youth , "for lassoing n
human , being like if ho was n dumb
brute. "
A ghnoo nt the dead man's face re
vealed the fact that hltt forehead was
crushed in by the fearful blow received
from tlio horse's head Ills clothing
was froisan stiiT , and na ho lay upon
the bank , oDld nnd stark , his sighUcsa
eyes were turned up to the sky just
reddening with the last glow of depart
ing day. What to do with him was
now Frank's perplexity. If he left
hlrn there the wolves and panthers
might mutilate the body No , ho
must lift him on his horse and take
him homo to the ranch. Stay , it was
every foot of twonty-threo miles to the
ranch , while it wao leas than sixteen
tu Silver City ; nnd they would have to
take him to Silver City for burial. It
was Bottled. Frank lifted that body
acrona hia saddle nnd Imhod it securely ,
face downward. Thun taking the
bridle roliia in hid hand ho started on
a sharp walk. Do looked at his watch
nervously.
"Half past four o'clock. Laa-i than
nn hour ot daylight. "
A TKUIUW.K JOUHNKT.
The fira > lour milon of walking did
not bother the wiry Oregon boy very
much. But ns durkuosa drew on
apace ho began to feel the iutoneo
cold , which nippoa his thin features
and Boomed to chill the very marrow
in his boaos. Tie walked aloii { { with
ocoro foot and aolitng hcnrtnnd thought
of hiu in * , or'a anxiety at his ubienco.
At times n night bird would PABU him
with booming sound , nnd from n lone-
ly cairn of rocks on the hillside would
ring out tlko lonely bark cf a coyote.
All elao was still , and In the chill
fltnilit night ho wat nearly perishing
with the culd Lighting a match ho
idlooked at hia watch and it wai pant
nine o'clock. ' Nervous and agitated
