noon
They were bought at Ogalalla , and any of the boys here will tell you that the first one was a good herd . The market was all shot to pieces , and they picked them up at their own price . But the owners did n't have cow-sense enough to handle the cattle , and put one of their own gang over the herds as superintendent . They left Cabin Creek , below Glendive , on the morning of the 10th , and they 'll have to travel nearly twenty miles a day to reach here by noon to-morrow . Sanders , you know that gait will soon kill heavy cattle . The outfits were made up of short-card men and dance-hall ornaments , wild enough to look at , but shy on cattle sabe . Just so they showed up bad and wore a six-shooter , that was enough to win a home with Field and Radcliff .
