But Cox did start, and he did well enough to earn defensive player of the week honors in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. Cox, a senior from Beaver, had himself a dandy day; he picked up six of them 11 total tackles, unassisted; nailed the Southern Colorado quarterback three times for sacks; and recovered a fumble. "Jess had an outstanding day, and his play was one of the big factors in our winning an awfully big football game," Don Conrad, SUSC head football coach, said. "We certainly feel that he justly deserves the recognition. Cox is averaging 4.8 tackles per game this year. On the season, he has four quarterback sacks, one tackle for lost yardage and one fumble recovery.

There were quite a number of customers and the clerks were busy, so I stood to one side near a counter to wait my turn. Across the room I noticed three men conversing in subdued tones. This was not unusual. It often happened in a country store when it was a busy day and you had to wait your turn to be served. One was certain to meet old friends and neighbors. Just then the door opened wide and in came a man whom I knew was fresh in from the open range-Levichaps, spurs and hat. He was tired, dusty, sunburned and smelled of leather, sagebrush and Pinion Pines. As a little girl in my home town I had seen any number of these grand old Western characters. Here was a genuine old cattleman. Beaver's beloved Joseph Riggs Murdock, known to his many friends as 'Jode'. Immediately, the three men, with broad smiles on their faces, came forward to meet him and right away the four were laughing and enjoying each other's company. As I watched, my thoughts flew back to other days. I had an Uncle, Senior Menu THUR. OCT. 20 Steak Sandwich MON. OCT 24 Ham Steak WED. OCT. 26 . my Father's youngest Brother, who was the same kind of out-doman. He bought and sold cattle, traveled a great deal from town to town and from one range to another. He spent a great deal of time away from home. He usually came to see us when in town. He was always very kind to me and I loved him very much. For just a minute or two a flood of homesickness came over me and I longed for my old home and dear ones. Then 'What may we do for you today, Margery?' The voice of a clerk aroused me from my reverie. When I returned home I began telling the folks about the grand old cowboy in the store. 'Sounds like Jode Murdock to me,' said one. Others agreed and added, everybody knows Jode Murdock and everybody likes him.' History tells us he was born May 19, 1860 and died December 31, 1941 at the age of 81. The following beautiful poem holds a special place in the hearts of all those who remember 'Jode.' THE LAST RIDE Into the Path of the sinking sun O'er the far horizon's rim He's gone, a smile in his kindly eyes A song in the heart of him. Gone with the friends of his yesterdays Where the souls of men ride free And the stars look down on a boundless range As wide as Eternity. Where cattle roamed on the sagebrush plain Their bones in the moon gleam white And the woeful wail of the lone coyote 'Wakens the echoes of night. Gone are the comrades he knew so well Mute are the cowboy's guitars That as strummed New Arrivals Mr. and Mrs. Thad Shaw Branson of Salt Lake City, Utah are the proud parents of a baby boy born October 9, 1983 in UCI Med.

Shop Beaver County First! plaintive serenades They sang in the glistening stars. Ah, never his kind shall ride again O'er the trails where the wild cayuse Aped in the van of the prairie wind Like a streak of lightening loosed But he'll ride again beyond the skies His soul unfettered and free, Where white stars gleam on an endless trail Through the whole of Eternity.
