King Fisher.
In 1875-6 I was herding sheep
in the Rio Grande country. A
few miles below Eagle Pass was
the Doniphan ranch. Mr. Doni-
phan had belonged to the Amer-
ican army in Mexico and when
peace was declared had chosen
to remain on the frontier of
Texas and engage in cattle rais-
ing. Here surrounded by Mexi-
can people and customs he had
prospered and his cattle roamed
at will over a large area of terri-
tory, and we could ride from
the , Rio Grahde to San Antonio
without encountering a wire
.fence, consequently the range
[was free and there were few
I disputes about grazing privileges,
j Connected/ with Doniphan in
family relationship were the
| Porters, who were of mixed Wood
I and natives of the country. They
had a home in Eagle Pass but
spent much of their time on the
ranch. King Fisher hejd sway
in the Pendencia country some
thirty miles inland from the
Doniphan ranch, where he had
some stock and land and a dozen
or so men with him. whom it was
said were engaged in the smug-
gling of stock from Mexico. A
good deal of this kind of wor,k
was done on both sides of the
river, Americans stealing from
Mexicans and vice' versa. My
sheep range occupied part of the
country between the Doniphap
ranch and Pendencia,. and my
camp consisted only of a brush

tSF&CBHPTIOIHs Made in all sizes. It is lively and easy riding, very durable and fined inside
with a special quality of rubber, which never becomes porous and which closes up small punctures
without allowing the air to escaoe. We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating
prepared fabric on the tread. That “Holding Back” sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt
or soft roads is overcome by the patent “Basket Weave” tread which prevents all air from being
squeezed out betweeu the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction. The regular price oi tnese
tires is $S SO per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to tbe rider
of only $4.80 per pair. All orders shipped same day letter is received. We ship C.O.D. on approval.
