I knew vaguely that they began !woen a bunch of cattle got frightened and started to go places. I had some sort of a vague idea that a cowboy, caught in one of the things, had to ride for pm life to keep away from being trampled to death. Bnt the fine points of how to. stop a stampede, I had never heard until Joe came along and gave me the "Bell-Wether- s" . ; Here's how he explains it 'When the herd starts to run," says Joe, "the cowboys cut in and ride alongside of the animals. They skirt the edge of the herd, moving forward until they are well up ahead of it Then they pull up in front of It and take the lead, for a bunch of stampeding cattle will follow a leader any kind of a leader even if it's a horse and rider. 'When the riders are well In the lead, they begin to circle gradually, turn back on their trail in a wide arc which they slowly narrow until they are ( approaching the rear end of the herd. When the herd had been drawn almost Into a circle, the riders cut out quickly, and leave the front end of the herd to follow the rear end. Thus you have a complete circle of wild, panicky cattle with which, In a short time, jumbles up into a seething ats of . as r!stj mill arour.d. to go, and nothing to do but bump into o;i jUMjr ewue to a stop, disperse, and go tack o Air imf.' f, low-dow- n. . ..! ; re jv.i.-'1u- m Sounds Easy, But Ponies 9v" Have to Watch Their , Step, darned neat trick, and it sounds easy but Joe is here today to tell na It Isn't as easy as it sounds. For Joe got into one of those stampedes once, and - ,. he came very close to being one mighty dead cowpuncher, It happened on the range cut near Laramie, Wyoming, In August, j 1884. Joe and two other cowpunchers were taking care of a herd of . twelve hundred cattle when a thunder storm came up and the frightened j cows started to cut for it The three punchers quickly took their positions at the side of the herd, rode up in front, and began to lead it That far, everything worked all right They started to circle, and the cattle were following. And then, all of a sudden, Joe's pony stumbled I .

There was just a chance that i Joe drew in on liis he might pull the pony out of the stampede." But no the little animal went down on his knees. Joe, thrown forward, was nearly catapulted over his head, but he tightened his legs about the pony's sides and managed to stay on. The pony's nose was touching the ground, and the stampeding herd, which had been only a few yarc's behind them in the beginning, were now thundering down on them, not ten feet away. "The leaders of the herd were so c!css," says Joe, "that I could hear their snorting and heavy breathing, and I had a feeling that my time had come, for frightened cattle never try to dodge any object no matter how big it is. "My pony seemed to realize the danger. He was trying to regain his feet Ho got one front foot back under him, and I leaned as far toward his haunches as, I could trying to lighten the load on his fore quarters. The cattle weren't than five feet behind me now, and If that pony couldn't get his other foot under him In short order, I was as good as dead." e " Lifetime of Thrills Crowded Into Twenty Seconds. Joe's pony was struggling frantically to get to his feet The whole incident didn't take more than fifteen or twenty seconds, but to Joe those seconds si emed to pass in slow motion like a trick movie shot As luck would have It, ti,o pony did get his feet under him. The leaders of the herd were pushing him frcsa behind when he finally staggered upright and started to move ahead again. "Luckily," says Joe, "the pony wasn't lamed or hurt In any way, ... and he certainly did make some speed until we came up to my two fel & low cowpunchers.
