Round-up in Washington seals five thousand wild horses
Spokane May 22 Five thousand horses are to be corralled and several hundred colts branded during a round up in the Kittitas valley southwest of Spokane. Frontiersman Taylor has marshalled top riders and expects completion by late June. Experts note 50 or more outlaws, two famed untamable stallions, and higher quality range horses with fewer cayuses. Some captured horses later fetch high prices after breaking. Taylor says the last band of Washington wild horses will be rounded up in a few years and rangers reassigned to a more profitable field.
