Cowboys Rope Last Wild Stallion in West Texas
The stallion, a famed 15 year local legend in Culberson County near El Capitan mountain, finally submitted after a three day, three night relay by five cowboys. J H Tippet owns the ranch and oil interests in Yates field. The horse’s teeth are noted as unusually long. In other notes, a French debate on illegible signatures prompts a return to cross marks, and Priday visits Bay City for Armistice Day events with the Reed family.
