We were surprised to see only one kid there. My friend Howard Kay came running to meet us with an excited look on his pumpkin face. “I waited for you,” he shouted. “Where are all the fellows?” Tom asked. “At Parley’s place,” Howard said. “His father brought home three wild mares and a wild jackass last night Mr. Benson is going to break the mares this morning.” Parley’s father was a wild animal bounty hunter. When-ever cattlemen and sheepmen began losing livestock to wild 22 animals they sent for Mr. Benson. He hunted down wolves, coyotes, mountain lions, and other wild animals that killed livestock. The ranchers paid him a bounty for each one he killed. He had never bothered to capture wild horses before the 1890s. Thousands of wild horses roamed throughout the west during the 1800s, but it cost more to capture and break them than they were worth. But with the beginning of the Boer War the British government sent agents to the western states looking for horses to ship to South Africa.
