One, man had just coyered the same wild path that we had, the other had come from Butte, and they had decided to pitch camp and spend the fiight damning th-e Vigilante, trail. The Butter had the more pic turesque vocabulary and what he said about the next twenty miles we had to go wasn’t conducive to di gestion, but we opened a can of beans 'and chewed them thoro-ughly. The next ten miles through the Madison canyon was absolutely the worst long stretch we have encountered. Rocks scraped the sides of the car, trees lay across the road wheie they had fallen, shaky timber bridges moaned and trembled as we crept across— but what’s the use. I don’t really believe myself that we ever made that day’s trip, so why should you. After leaving the canyon we climb ed out on range land, and found rough dirt roads, slow of course, but they looked like golden streets to us that night. The ranches were miles apart and the few people we met werv* such sullen, queer specimens that for the first time since leaving heme we felt a bit more comfortable with our guns in our belts. Some local color to that. That night we slept a6 Enis, sev- ekty-seven miles in ten hours, mighty thankful to be anywhere. Enis sup ports a doctor, a town hall, a res taurant, and a saloon. We ate fried chicken with the doctor aind with two cow boys who had just moved 1,500 cattle from one part of tie range to another, which accounted for a strange chopped up strip of road. Thank goodness we missed them, one cow is bad enough. The doctor brought, us a news paper two days old, the mayor told us to park by the hall, the saloon entertained us with thrilling shouts thoujch it fell down on ans-sun work, rangt* riders raced their ponies mad ly around the street, but we slept. It’s a great life. In the morning while we were fill ing up with tras a bur car pulled up beside with a giant in proper w-.-st.-rn attire at the wheel.
