COW HOY MKT TKAG1C FATE.
Attempted to I're vent SUuup^lc of
Cattle nu?l floes Over Cliff.
Jack showed up at Texas ferry on
the Snake for the big spring roundup
of 1888. His other name was
O'Rorick, and lie might have come
from the old sod, instead of Walla
f Walla, but the chances arc that he
had never known any other than the
range country. Otherwise l.e would
not have had time to learn all he
knows of cattle and bronchos or to
have so thoroughly forgot ten whatever
he miglit have known of fear
or caution in softer and saier surroundings.
Not yet 21. tall slender and lithe
as rawhide, he was the cowpuncher
from his hatband to heavy spurs,
the wildest rider from theSnaketo
the northern border. Rarely was
there anything missing from his
make-up, especially when .lack had
jirrivod in
That round-up he joined at the
ferry was the last one a vast scale
held in eastern Washington. Beef
cattle by the tens of thousands
roamed the range then from th?.
Cascade to the Coeur d'Alenes, hut
settlers shacks had begun to dot
* the sage and the terrible winter of
1890-91 was coming to thin the
herds down to scattered, bony
hands. But in 1888 the Inland empire
was as live with cowboy romance
and action as the John Day
Valley, the country around old
Tucson or the endless ranches of
Te; as.
The gathering camp at Texas ferry
brought together the best of tlie
punchers that were left on the
range. They came in from Montana.
l^aho and Oregon, bringing
tti.l. Onn..? T ".II
?tVi, wavtU MVUJ/C LilUVU tlHU I>lll
Ireland, afterward to become famed
the country over as the crack
broncho "buster" of Buffalo Billsshow.
Bill Lewis, champion roper
of the west, bossed the outfit. Their
fires gleamed around the ferry for
a few nights and then they pulled
our. into the sage. Ten "chuck"
wagons rolled along in the rear
with food and bedding. The horse
J wranglers had !>00 ponies to bring
along. It was cowland at the best,
j si-, before cowland became a vivid
men. cry.
Naturally, in a bunch like that
Jack had to maintain liis reputaJiou
for reckless riding and in the
horse -vork around the big camp be
* found all Lb? competition of the
kind that could be brought together.
They had a bunch of wild horses to
break before tliey started. When
they got the worst lighter of the
lot sorted out Jack got on him with
only a halter and ran him over a
trail nobody cared to try except on
a wise and seasoned cow pony. As
. ...
n iiuiaiiuig loucn lie jumped the
crazed aniiuul ovor a (i-fout hank into
leo:-e rock, held him on his feet
?aiul brought him into camp meek
and uninjured.
From Texas l'crry lite round-up
worked down the Snake to old Ainsworth,
on tlie Columbia, and turned
north. Pasco happened to lie in
their way. Unlike the Pasco of today,
the town then consisted principally
of saloons. In the absence
of grand opera and libraries these
attracted the cowboys' eurosity.
They arrived in town on the jump,
creating a noisy and smoky situation
with their uplifted sixshooters.
Tins preliminarj failed to satisf>
Jack and after a sesaonable period
at the bar he undertook to amplify
it. Drifting gayly into a saloon frequented
by railroad men be encouraged
a general jig by shooting neatly
at the feet displayed about the
floor . The bartender, being new to
the country, caught Jack from behind
and the jig was continued
largely on Jack's anatomy, everybody
joining in. Eventually they
jigged him into the street handily
and remarked upon the circumstances
happily?for about a minute.
Then Jack returned and the cowboy
population of the town seemed
to be with him. They all wanted to
get uequainted with the bartender
and his friends ret in d through the
back door. The cowboys went into
the saloon business on a common
benefit basis. When they got ready
to start for I'll 11111 tl.. I?n il/t 11??? f..,
merly occupied by the saloon re.mained
in a fragmentary condition.
The bartender never did return.
The roundup went 011 up the rivv
?er until it reached Mudhcn Lake,
the main beef "gather." The place
was known all through cowland for
its favorable location on the roundup.
it offered plenty of water and
a corial roek that would hold thousands
of cattle. A corral rock is
0s one of the stone projections that
shoot up in the Inland Empire to a
height of 100 feet or more. They
are flat on top, the sides are perpendicular
and a hunch of cattle,
gathered 011 the rock with a mat)
/ to guard the one trail they weiy
driven up couldn't get away withoi
wings. The big round-up put se
2 ?ral thousand head of been 011 tlj^
rock at Mudhen Lake. Jack h~
the watch front dark until 1*
night the first night. He sadi'1 "
.a young mule for the work. A n
?t
is more surefooted than even a t!
range pony aud possesses keener after
dark wisdom than uiost humans.
They saw jaek standing by a brush tl
fire in the trail when the camp h
turned in.
It was a hard watch for the out- b<
fit had ridden hard all day and
Jaek couldn't move around far 1"
enough away from the trail to keep tl
1 his senses alert. The herd rested t\
easily, however, until nearl> midnight,
the hour of the first relief oi
when Jack could go la his blankets, n
lie had snapped his watch on 11:3"
and almost dropped into a nap !>'
when a rumble up on the cliff at
brought hint up on the jump.
On the highest point of the cliff 1,1
above he could see the swaying
horns and heads of friglitt in d cat- w
tie. It may have been a wolf or
the mysterious electric impulse in
the air that sends cattle stampeding
bit tirll\r . - :? >- : ?

Jack recognized the sjmptoms and
the danger to the cattle, but 110th- s<
ling else. !v
! To turn the herd back front the 01
rim of the rock would have been a >'
ticklish job In daylight. Any move- '
nient behind them would start the
I rear forward and the front would v>
'have to go over. It remained for j ?
the rider to work along between v
the cattle and the edge of the rock 11
Jack ought to have called the whole S1
c;ynp into the saddle. instead of 1
i that he jumped the tuule up -the
trail and jammed him along the
[edge. n
The herd was milling and loss- c
ii g by this time and they crowded "
tno mule close to the rock. An un- vs
accustomed noise would have seut

j there, but oiiiietihg a wild herd at 11
I li.iunight 15u above level ground, H
' by a tight-rope ride on i mile wis.
"the sort of muse men t he most "
craved. lie pushed hard for the
crag where it could be most readily s
turned along tbe cliff and circled v
back to safety
The line of the cliff curved be-.v
II fore it reached t lie poin.t Jack, with
his eyes anxiously on the cattle v
ahead, didn't see it. The mule did,'1
a:ul stopped to feel his way. If ?
prudence had been a part of Jack's i':
make-up he would have noted that.!"
Instead he pulled up the mule's ''
| head and drove in the spur. The ^
'Isteers yn the point were pawing, ^
f and snorting and there was no
itime to lose.
The mule bract d himself again in I
consciousness of the danger and
; again Jack, unheeding, gave hint
' tlie spur. The animal flinched, lost \
his footing and Jack, in his headlong
impatience, pulled up his head v.
again and drove him sheer out in- a
to the dark. The cowboys found
him and his mule crushed together /
on the rocks below. His presc-iirc I
and voice had turned the herd on a
the point and none of them fellow
oil him down. $
The cowboys built ;i rude moil- t
umcnt of stone whore they picked p
up Jack's broken bones. From l
that day Mudhen has been known : ii

IIOLT HOLE t'Al'SKS DEATH. S,
Tinj Hole in Wrong IMace Onuses ^
Aeroplane to Kill Aviator. ,,
San Antonio, May 10.?A bolt
i hole, an eighth of an inch in *1 i- ,j
anieter, bored where it should not M
have been in the prong of the "seat
fork" in the army's Curtiss aero'
plane, caused the death of Lieut j.
George E. M. Kelly, Thirtieth Ini
fantry, at 7::>o this morning upon t,
the aviation field at the manoeuvre S(
camp. Such is the verdict of a
board of officers of the aero com- j;
pany which investigated the aeei- ;|
dent. ?
j The board finds the accident was ?
unavoidable, due probably to struc- J
tural weakness of the aeroplane.
Lieut. Kelly had made a perfect
flight and was landing when the J
'shock of the contract with tlie?
n'ound broke the "finger" at the ^
in:splaced bolt hole and twisted the _
machine. One of the supporting p
wires caught on the engine and c
threw it wide open at a speed of tl
75 milis tin hour. The aeroplane f<
shot forward and headed directly
for the tents of the Eleventh infantry
Lieut. Kelly saw the danger ^
to the occupants of tlye tents and
sought to turn the machine. One of B
the plains struck an embankment f,
and toppled the aeroplane over.
l?*Ui Kc-lly was thrown L'O feet n
from the wreck and landed <?ii 1>is n
head. His neck was broken and his o
1 skull fractured. n
