Tl I I I I I I I I H l l " Id I I I I I I I When Joe Kskai, a Hawaiian, who . tried to ride the bucking steer during the stampede, and was thrown, met William Drake, one of the incorpora tors of the Stanipmle company, in front of a local hotel shortly after noon to iay, there was promise of real excitement excite-ment for a few minutes. t N'akai demanded de-manded the monev he says is due him, and brake told him lie had nothing co ning Nakal' said he had tried to ride the steer and he wanted his ' nsoaev. "You dido 't try anything, but to fall off as quick as von could, ' Drake said. .Vakai challenge.! the statement and Drake said that he had been paid 12.50 a dav. all he was worth. Then the warm words flew thick and fast, and Drake called the Hawaiian a Mexican and a liar. The bunch of cowboys crowded around. Drake went into the hotel bar and -Vakai aad the eawboys aad cowgirls -cent la, also, to watch the un and particulate. If more than verbal hostile ties should arise. Ri- The crowd surged lato the barroom, followed by a large number of passers, by, who had no interest in the show save as spectators. Thev apparent I t had no fear of deans dealing fireworks, bet it was noticed that they did not jostle the cowpuuehers aad gave them identv of elbow room. A polite but firm gentleman In white, who stood behind the bar with no more deadly weapon thaa a siphon bottle, ordered or-dered the crowd oat of (he place, and Patrolman K. D. Huntsman sauntered koryssyugh, swinging his club ss though on E conWde. Thar was so disturbance while E prqpraa there aad ho ambled out again. iaa the verbal torrent broke again. 1 Drake gave the cowpuaehers no satis-L satis-L f actios and thev offered so violence. "All this holler about Drake being a crook la like the relpia ' of a coyote t dea't mean nothin', " said w. P. Adams, a typical cowpuncher from the Salmon river country, Idaho. "I've knowed Bill Drake for roars, a' ks's a reglar eow man. He's the only man In the bunch that's stood by the fellers through all this here tronble. aa' he's dead sqnare. "That little fellow, Nakal, may bo . a Hawaiian, but I understand he's a " . Mexican Yaqtei, an' he's the one that's makin' all the faas. The real sow punch sr doa't need to worry about the seaaey. aad it's the little fellers that's kollerin '. There 's four of us in this bunch that's got $2000 between us. and the other fellers have money la their keck, except a few of thorn that's squeal id '. "I'd like to get on an elevator with Cunningham, though, because we fellers fel-lers think Cunningham is the mavorisk. Bat they can 't say notkia ' against Drake, for he 's sure square. ' ' |
