THE TEXAS -COWBOY , His Life on Ihe Drive in the Cam and SCCIICH At a Stampede Mon AVho Dally Ulsk Tlietr Lives - Uow Accidents Occur. Utaburg Dispatch , "Do I know the cowboys ? Young man , 1 think I do. When you have , worked with them , camped with thorn , ived with them nnd been among them 'or years on the drive , and on and off duty , you might tay yon know them , " The speaker was Ilonry Exall , a Texas cattleman , who had boon spending aov- ral days in the city at the Seventh A.VOIUIO hotel. "Tho Texas cowboy , " ho continued , 'is ' the moit thoroughly misunderstood man outside of the localities where ho a known , on the face of the earth. I know htm In nil hla alleged terrors , nnd as a class there are no nobler-hearted or honorable men In the world. Bravo to ratlines ! and generous to a fault , if you should bo thrown among them yon would find thorn over ready to share their last cruat with you , or Ho down nt night with ou on the eamo blanket. "Why , young man" , BOO hero , and the Toxaa man twitched lib chair around nu ll ho could put hla feet upon n window ill. "Say that I have 10,000 cattle which I nin about to tend ovorlnnd from Texas into Montana to fatten for the market. Those cattle will bo on the drive from the first of April until the middle of September. They nro divided nto thrco herds , with a dozen or six- eon men to each herd , I entrust thoao 'attlo ' in the hands of a gang of cowboys. For lix months I know nboolutoly noth ing of my stock. I trust their houotty to the extent of many thousands of dollars without a contract , without a bond , with no earthly hold upon thorn , legally or morally beyond the fact that I am paying hem § 35 or $40 n month to protect my nterests. And there are the men plc- uro in the east M outcasts of civilization , trust absolutely to their judgement in getting those cattle through a wild and unbroken country without loss or Injury. I trust as absolutely to their bravery and nduranco In the face of danger. " MUST DE URAVE MEN. . "Danger ? " ' "Dancer ! Yes , Indeed. A man to bo i cowboy mnat bo a brave man. For In- itance , wo are on n drive. Theao slab- sided , long-horned Texas cattle ara as wild as doors naturally , and being In an unknown country are as nervous and tim- d as cheep. The slightest uoleo may startle them into a stampede. Wo have been on the drive all day and night ia coming on. It is cold and raining. Wo have reached the point where wo intend to round up for the night. The men commence to ride around tbo drove , aing- ng , shouting and whistling to encourage the animals by the sounds they are famll- "ar with and to drown any noise of an uniuual character which might provoke a stampede. Round and round the cattle they ride until the whole drove Is travel ing In a circle. Slowly the cowboys close In on them , still shouting and singing , until finally the cattle become quiet , and after a tlmo Ho down and com mence chewing their cuds with apparent contentment. Still the vigilance of the men can * not bo relaxed. At least half of them must continue riding about the resting herd ol night. A stampede of cattle ia a terrible thing to the cD-.vboys , and it may ba brought in by the most trivial cause The slightest noise of an unusual nature , the barking of a coyote , the snap of a pistol tel , the cracking of a twij ; , will bring some wild-eyed steer to bis feet In terror. Another instant and the whole drpvo are panting and bellowing In the wildest fear , They are ready to follow the load of any animal that makes a break. Thou the coolness and aelf-poaeoasion of the caw boy Is called Into play. They still con tinuo their wild gallop around the frlght- enod drove , endeavoring to reassure thorn and got them quiet once more. Mayb they will succeed after an hour or two and the animala will again bo at rest But the chances are that they cannot be ' q'uietad eo easily. A break Is made In some direction. Bore comes thoherchm of the cowboy. Those cattle are aa blind and unreasoning In their flight aa a pair of runaway horses. They Know no dan ger but from behind , and if they did , could not stop for the surging sea of maddened animala in the rear. A rocky gorge or n deep-cut canyon may causa the Icsi of half their number. 'Jhoao In the rear cannot eoa their danger and tbo loader cannot atop for thojo behind , and are pushed on to their death. A precipice may Ho in their way over whlcli they plunge to destruc tion. It matters neb to the cowboy. If the ' , stampede la made the captain of the drove and his men ride until tbry head it and then endeavor to turn the animals In to a circle once more. U JJOW ACCIDENTS OCCUIl , "A hole in the ground , which catches the horse's foot , a stumble , and the hoofa of 11,000 cattle have trample ! the a cm bianco of hnmatnlty from him. lie knows this. A gulch or a gcrgo lies | their path. There is no escaping it. There is no turning to the right or the left , and in an inatant horao and rider are at the bottom , burled nnder 1,000 cattlo. Bat what of It ? It is only a cowboy , and they come cheap. But hli < tory records no instance of more unquea tlonablo porforomnco of duty In the presence of dander than those men un- uergo on every drive. Should the stam pede bo stopped , there it no rest for the drivers that night , but the utmost vigi lance ! u required to provo'nt tbo recur rence of the trlghtoned cattle. This may happen hundreds of tlmos on a single drlro , "I remember ono Instance , which , from the friendship in which I held the I victim , has made a lasting Impression on ' mo. Two brothers were together on tho'v ' dri/o. Both men hid boon educated in an cistern cd'ege ' , but for some reason bad drifted to the oattlo plains of Texas and had become cowboys , The elder was the captain of the drive. Sitting about the camp fire ono nlgbt , the yonnger was very down-hearted abont something and finally said : 'Charlie , let's throw up this \ drive. I don't want to go. 1 feel that one or the other of us will never go back. I am aihamcd of this , but lean not shako It off , ' llii brother was impretaod by his seriousness , but could only Bay , ' 'Georgo , heto are 3,000 cattla m my charge. I could Dot leave them If J knew that I would bo killed to-morrow. 'A ttampcdol'cried ono of the men. In au Inatant they were all at their animals , saddles were adjusted and air ay they went. The ciptam gained the head of the drive * and had tucceeded in turning them a little when bit hone stumbled. In another instant horse and rider could hardly have been dlitlogulthed from one another. So yon see there Is tome responsibility upon the men. Theao wild cattle n way from homos are ni variable AJ the wind , and when fright * oned nro as Irresistible aa an avalanche , The slightest thing atampedes them. For instance : Wo have rounded up the dcivo and the cattle are lying down. I am ono of the men detailed to ride around them. Finding them all qulto I got off my borio to light my plpo. Relieved of my burdtm the horao rosta himself by a shako. Tno whole drove la on their feet n an Instant listening to discover from what quarter the nolao cnmo. No ono can foresee which Tray they will make the break , and only the utmost sclf-pos- osslou and good judgment on the part of the men on dutv will prevent a gen eral stampede. That la the class of men cowboys are made of , and I never know of many Instances where they failed ta do their duty. " W11EHE THEY COME FHOM. The enthusiastic Texan had now warmed up to the subject , and when asked ' 'Where are the cowboys recruited from ? " replied : "From all parts of the world. Some from the plains , where their toys in In fancy are the miniature lariat and shot gun. Some from Mexico , with many of their half Indian characteristics , and many from the oast. I know a clcz n colic go graduates who are cowboys , and have become so infatuated with the llfo that I suppose they will never leave It until the final grand round-up. There Is another interesting period in the life of the cowboy , " continued Mr. Exall , "and that Is the spring round-up. In the fall the oattlo stray away , and in working away from the storms they some times got nway 100 miles or so. Each cattle owner has his own particular brand en his cattlo. Well , the ranchmen In some natural dlvleion of the country will organize a ] rand round-up In the spring. The cowboys will drive the cattle all in together In ono big drovo. Then the captain of the round-up will direct the owner of ranch A to 'cut' out his cat tle. Ono of A's most experienced men will then rldo Into the drive until ho eights an animal with his brand on. Deftly ho will drive the anlmnl to the outer edge of the herd , and then with a quick dash runs the boast out away from the drove , and it is taken In charge by others of A'a ranchmen , while the cutter goes back after another. After some fif teen or twenty minutes A'a cutter will bo taken ofl and B's man given a chance. Thla will be continued until each ranch has ita oattln cut out. If any cattle are found ( without a brand they are killed for ( the use of the men on the round-up This 'cutting' Is a work requir ing great skill and experience , and frequently requires the uno of the lariat. Often cattle with a strange brand are found. If anyone ono recognizes the brand , ranchmen liv ing nearest the owner taken charge of it and notifies the owner. If no ono recognizes the brand the captain of the round up advertises it , and if no owner Is found , It is sold at auction for the benefit of the Cattlemen's association. ( WHEN THEY 1IECOME RECKLESS. "Theao things will go to show the responsibilities resting upon theic men. They have to bo men of integrity and reliability , and their labors are such that you can readily see they cannot bo very dissipated. I will tell you how they got the refutation for recklessness. Wo will suppose those men have boon on the drive for six months and have finished and been paid ciF. Thea they are just like any other body of men. They go Infer for some fan , and on their lark ride yellIng - Ing through the otrooto of some little town , ehoot a few street lamps out , ergot got in'o n saloon row. It lu no moro than a band of college bojs at Harvard , or Cornell , or Princeton might do and frequently do , but some Imaginative correspondent im mediately sends it to eomo eastern paper , where it comes out headed 'another cow boy outrage , ' and giving a wholly fictl- tious account of the battle between the outlaws and the citizens. Now , I know hundreds of cowboys who never carry a revolver , and If you should go among them to-day your Hfo and your pocket book would bo as safe as in the city. They have strict Ideas of honor and they stand upon their honor. Yon won'c find any of them who would bo safe to impoeo upon , nor will you find any of thorn who will attempt i > i impnsa en you. They are off duty a lob of big-hearted , rough boys , but they nra not outlaws or out- oasts. They are not the class of men who rob trains or hold up people crossing the plains , and I believe that , taken for all in all , the American cowboy will com pare favorably in morals _ ana maullnces with any similar number of cltizjiio , taken as a class.

"Yes , wo do have some peculiar oxpori- ncoi , " said an intelligent Pullman car potter on the Panhandle road nt ( lie Union depot last night. "Wo run up against all sorts of people , I can toll you , It was on this same train , Panhandle No , 4 , nnd wo had just run Into the station nt Mlngo Junction. A well-dressed young man , who looked M if ho was aiok or in trouble , came up to mo and wanted to know if ho could got n botth. Well I had nothing to do with letting him have a birth , but there was but ono parlor car on the train nnd that was full. So I told him that every birth was taken , and that it would bo Impossible for him to got n place. Ho turned nround and walked away about fifteen foot atoppod nddonly nnd pulled n revolver from his hip pocket , and bcforo nnyono could atop him shot hlmsolf through the head. Ho lived n few minutoB. Uo wns out of hla mind , evidently , for ho kept moaning , 'I didn't murder him ! 1 didn't murder himl" VTo found out afterward that his name was Frank Leighton , and that ho lived in St. Louif , where ho had iclntlvoa of high social standing. Ho had become dltsi- patod , and in some club qunrrd a man was killed. Ho waa never charged with the crime , but ho cot the idea that SUB plclon rested on him nnd ho disappeared rein homo and his frlendn did not kuow where ho had gene until they had hoard of hla suicide , 'Another cnso I thall rcmombernn long aa I live. A young Now York Hebrew , named Nathan , died en my car. Ho was broken [ down in health nnd wont dorm south to got well. Ho spent the winter down in Now Orleans and Calves- ton. Ho didn't got any better and In the spring tlmo slatted home. Ho kuow ho was going to die , nnd was terribly down hearted. I had to bo with him most of the time on the way up. I made np his berth early In the evening , nnd ho wont to bod. I helped to undress him and tuck him In. Two houts later , when vein in Plttibnrg here , I looked into his berth , nud ho wn dead. Well , ho was taken out hero , but wo did not know any of his friends , and could not tele graph them. They were waiting for him , hough , when wo gat to Jersey City. They dldm't know ho was dead. His father , a white-haired old man , and his sister , n beautiful girl of not moro than 18 years old , were nt the depot , and were almost the firat people I aaw when ntoppod down from the car. I had nn idon they were his ftiends ao coon as 1 saw them , and it made mo fool slinky , I can tell you' 'Is Mr. Nathan with you , porter ? ' naked the young lady , looking kind and anxious. Well , I juat looked nt her and then at the old gentleman , nnd I couldn't any a word. I couldn't boar to tell them that ho was dead , and to I just said : 'No , nin'nm , ho got off at Pitts- burg. ' Sbo turned as whlto as a ehcct , and eald : 'Why , was ho WOMO ? " The oil man was so nervous'that ho just clung to the lady as if ho was afraid of falling. 'I don't know ma'am , ' 1 managed to fay. Jtut then a young man came up , who 1 took to bo her brother. I called him to ono side. I tnoughtlt would ba better for him to let thorn know than me. Well , sir , ho waa so badly broke up that ho juat blurted out , 'My Gcd , my broth er la dead. ' It vrns the hardest thing I over saw , I thought the girl would go wild. They could hardly got Lot away to the carriage. The brother came back to Pittsbnrg and took the body homo. I never heard from them again. "Ono of the funniest cases I ever ran across , " ho continued , "occurred this winter with a newly married couple on their wedding trip. Ho was a young army or navy officer , I don't 1 now which.
