people in Cheyenne society. In 1902, Hines was invited by one of his friends, Bob Carey, son of the former U S Senator, to spend his vacation with him on his father’s enormous cattle ranch.87 During his short stay, Hines and his young host got into all sorts of trouble. One day the two young men decided to follow on horseback a Native burial party across the Wyoming range, all the while “gathering up the cigarettes that the Indians had put along the funeral trail to pacify evil spirits.” The victims of their prank caught them in the act and angrily chased them all the way back to the Carey ranch. It took a while for the elder Carey to pacify their extreme anger. A few days later the two young men mischievously unlocked a bullpen, enabling four-hundred of the Senator’s prized bulls to happily romp across the plains for the next several days, causing the Senator’s busy ranch hands much unnecessary vexation as they drove them back into the gates. But it was only after the two killed nearly all the Senator’s imported Austrian quails with a shotgun that Bob’s father decided the young Kentuckian had become a bad influence on his son.
