SAILING ON GRAND LAKE 
experience afterward proved to us that it 
was—for the cowboy. We hitched the new 
“bronc”’ up with our city horse, and he was 
so full of life that he wanted to pull the load 
himself. We got over the first half of the 
distance in fairly good time, and then the 
broncho started to act bad. He would 
kick, bite, stop, refuse to go, drink 
muddy water along the road, refuse 
clean water, go when he pleased, and 
was altogether bad. After making many 
an honest effort to encourage him to 
be decent, even using kindness, we were 
compelled to give it up, to the great amuse- 
ment of some ranchers. Dorothy said sev- 
eral times, jokingly, ‘“‘The animal is 
locoed,” and we afterward found this to be 
actually the case. Fortunately, a ranch- 
man came along with a team and we bar- 
gained with him to pull us into Hot Sulphur 
Springs. Even to this Mr. Broncho seri- 
ously objected, but we were all completely 
out of patience with the animal and really

took some delight in seeing him do some- 
thing he didn’t want to; but he had to go 
along, for we hada good, strong rope 
around his neck and ‘tightly fastened to the 
wagon... We spent two days at Hot Sulphur 
Springs, bathing in the hot sulphur water 
and tramping over the country. We tried 
to sell our broncho and get another horse, 
but, however hard we tried, we could not get 
thirty cents for the animal; indeed, the hotel 
proprietor seemed anxious that we hurry 
and depart and get the animal away from 
his horses. It is,not good for horses to asso- 
ciate with a locoed animal, I am told. We 
displayed real nerve in again hitching that 
broncho to our wagon; he would bite and 
kick and look wild-eyed, but it was sheer 
desperation on our part. We could not 
buy another horse, as we had not brought 
enough cash along and we were unac- 
quainted in those parts. We were ,“up 
against’? it. However, we started. Broncho 
behaved fairly well (for him) till we got
