He had almost miraculously escaped being crushed, and was not fatally hurt, but examination disclosed that he was absolutely and hopelessly disabled for the time being, and Richard Mivane realized that he himself was the duly accredited ambassador to the herders on the Keowee River. He went home in a pettish fume.
After taking a searching look, we came to the conclusion that the horsemen which we saw were hostile Indians, as we had not been accustomed to see Mexican herders mounted and acting so strangely. The herders, near the towns in New Mexico, are usually small boys, who are under the surveillance of one or two men stationed near by.
San Xavier's broken windows blew to the rains and winds of the seven heavens. Cowboys, outlaws, sheep herders, housed beneath mural paintings and frescoes that would have been the pride of a European palace. Came American occupation; and San Xavier was not restored but redeemed. It was completely cleaned out and taken over by the church as a Mission for the Indians.
It was late on the following forenoon when the Pony Rider Boys descended on the Simms ranch, bag and baggage. Larue had relieved one of the herders and sent him back with Tad Butler and Ned Rector, to bring up the rest of the party. The parlor tent they found had been too badly damaged to be worth carrying along, so they left it where the bear had wrecked it.
The white men moved out toward the herd, still gazing ardently; they saw one of these ponies turn quickly, and as he did so a naked figure shifted from one side to the other of his back. "Indians! Indians!" A pistol was fired the herders galloped after.
Here, one morning about sunrise, as the herders were bringing in the stock, five Indians rushed in and tried to stampede the animals, but the herders happened to see them in time to give the alarm. Jim and I having our horses tied near the camp, were out after them quicker than I can tell it.
The battalion of the th Infantry had made only two days' march from here, and the herders had just turned the horses and mules out to graze, when a band of Cheyenne Indians swooped down upon them and stampeded every animal, leaving the companies without even one mule! The poor things are still in camp on the prairie, waiting for something, anything, to move them on.
They saw the diminutive cowboy tear through the band of herders, his gun going; saw his horse stumble and fall and a figure pitch from the saddle and roll to one side. "And if I'm goin' I want to go out that way," shouted Bull Cassidy. "Shorty was some sport!" But the Mexicans had had enough of it. They wheeled and spurred toward the south.
Who could have sent it?" wondered Lady Gray. "One of the shepherds, likely; sheep herders they call them here. And it's the first time I ever saw a lamb 'snow white. The comparison, 'white as a lamb' is generally wrong, for they're a dirty gray. This one has been washed within an inch of its life literally. Some of you girls better take it to the dairy and give it some milk," said Mr. Ford.
She aroused within him an enveloping tenderness a desire to protect her though she seemed the last woman who needed or cared for either. When Oleson with the ewes and lambs was well up the creek, Kate gave Bunch his parting instructions: "Let them spread out more. You Montana herders feed too close it's a fault with all of you. Can't you see the grass is different here? Use your head a little.
