(Poley) Moses, now residing on a farm a short distance west of Scio, handled horses on a range scale in the vicinity of Prineville, central Oregon. Learning through the local newspaper of the recent death of W. T. McBride at Elma, Wash,, Moses recalled that soon af ter the turn of the century he and McBride gathered about 70 hunch grass horses in the range country and trailed them across the moun tains to the Scio area, where the animals were "peddled" during late summer and early autumn. "Some of those animals were proverbially 'snaky and hard to handle, while others were on the draft order and valuable as work stock," Moses said In Scio a few days ago In recalling his experiences. "We hired pasture at the Al Arnold place near Scio and used that location for exhibiting and disposing of horses." Moses contin ued, referring frequently to Mc Bride as "Bill." Both saddle and road stock was in demand, although the heavy animals also found ready sale where needed on farms. "Bill decided to sell his share of the bunch, so I took on the en tire cawy and made good sales be fore the advent of rainy winter, when it would have been difficult to handle the animals to advan tage. BUI and I both felt pretty flush with 'coin of the realm,' so.

"Donning new togs at Albany (I made the serious mistake of leav ing my high-heeled riding bools and jumping into a pair of new shoes) we took the train for the big ex position down the river. A day or two tramping among the wonderful sights In new shoes turned my thoughts to Scio and my comfort' able boots, so back we came, feet puffed up and new shoes under the car seat as we visualized the com fortable footwear at home." , Moses also recalled a camping place en route from the range country to Sclo with the horses. Bill became ill on the trail as re sult of a string of boils that de veloped on his neck and back. This was at the ranch of Bruce Price, whose widow now lives at Lebanon, ''Bill got up sometime in the night to take a dose of the boll medicine, and he boiled, all right. He happened in the dark to get a bottle of peroxide instead of the dope he reached for. Reaction was that the peroxide foamed and bub bled as it issued from Bill's mouth and nose. "Til be dead In a few minutes I made a mistake In medicine.' Bill yelled In great fear and excitement During his few minutes' lease on life, however, he had fully recov ered from the strangling effects of the peroxide, and In the morning he mounted a rough horse and was on his way Scioward with his bolls, bunch -gra&sers and the other three wranglers, Moses recalled.
