65 I have about five thousand head of horses and cattle, and some of them are of fine breeds. I had one very handsome bay horse that was a runner. You know the Indians are very fond of running races. This horse had beaten every- thing in all that country, and I had agreed to let him run against a horse that an Indian had brought up from the South somewhere. The day before the race this old woman I speak of came riding along past my place, where the horse was picketed in an enclosure. When she c...ame near, the horse 'nickered' and ran up to the fence, and whinnered for a minute or so. The old woman came to me and said, 'You mustn't let that horse run to-morrow/ I asked her why not. ' Because, ' said she, ' he is not in condition to run. He's not well, and he'll be beaten and come out lame. ' Well, of course, I paid no attention to that, and the next day the race was run. It came out just as the old woman said. The horse was the worst-beaten horse I ever saw, and he went lame in one of his forelegs for months afterward.
