The Hereford Brand
Vol. 11
HEREFORD. TEXAS. MAY *6. 1911
COWBOYS GIVE
STREET EXHIBITION
Old Time Memories Brought Back —
Bronc Butting, Leather Lag-
gings, Six-shooter* in
Play.
Hereford was treated to real
western cowboy itew Wednesday
afternoon. A dozen boys from the
Lee Bivina "L-X" ranch were in
town and they made their presence
known. The first thing they did
was to take in the Brand office, and
after satisfying themselves that the
office was making good its name,
they turned their attention to tne
curio window, beeing so many old
guns and relics of early days, they
proposed to give an exhibition.
Thereupon, Robert Elliott, the curio
fiend and owner of the window, out-
fitted three or four of the boys with
pistols, dirks and other frontier
paraphernalia. With their cow
ponies the boys paraded up an<1
down the street in iront of the Brand
office and did many stunts whicn
were interesting and remindful to tn?
old-timer and a source of wonder to
the tenderfoot. At tne close of the
general exhibition. Dog Face Hunter,
one of the favorites, proposed to
"goose" his oronc, wnich w^s done,
and a lively bucking stunt was the
result. The horse. in his efforts to
get the rider off, jumped on th°
sidewalk, which proved to be io">
slippery for him. and he fell broad
side with his rider. Neither were
hurt.
The kodak fiend was clicking his
machine and some go->d sho's were
taken.
The boys had just returned from
the 4,J-A" ranch near Friona *h re
they had placed 1400 head of stee-s
on the range. This the ptrt « •
2776 head belonging to the Bivins
herds, whi^h thev hav* h- n dis-
tributing. Tne b IV e romtOsing the
camp were : R W B'own. fo-*m,r\
Big Nasty, Cooper, Trus<*u'\ D< b-
bins, Dog Face Hunter. Scout. Wil-
son. Harris, Bair, Steel and Rogers.
The boys from the Bivins ranches
are always well behaved men and
are widely known for the western
hospitality. They promised the
curio window a complete set of cow-
boy accouterments, including a pair
of chaps, spurs, belt and sis-shooter,
hat, handkerchief, shirt, saddle
pockets, larist, etc.
Come again boys and we will let
you "shoot up" the Brand office
While in California recently we
attended a school of instruction and
are now better A>repare<^>hrtn ever to
sell your land or dc^ome tradir.g
