By J. O. McKINNEY MOUNT SHASTA "The Last of Vanishing Race" is an epitaph that can well be placed over Uie last resting place of Cowboy Jack Schultz when that old timer finally consents to cross the Great Di vide. Last of the old time freight wagon drivers of the biskivous. Schultz. not old by standards of years, but ancient in the years of experience, has seen several eras come and go. The teamster was driving a two- wagon, six mule rig for John Dag gett away from the Black Bear Mine near Forks of Salmon about he turn of the century. He was then a veteran of 15 years of age. He has also taken his two- wagon, six mule outfit into everv mine in Northern California that had a wagon road. And taken pack outfits where there were noth ing but trails. Born in Henley, near Hornbrook. anuary 31. 1085, Schultz was too old for the draft in World War I He enlisted in the 164th Oreson. California volunteers, and saw much service in many of the hot spots in Belgium and France. It was while carrying a disabled com rade out of danger at Chateau Thierry that he earned a gold acorn, an emblem he wears today. This still enthusiastic old-timer has lollowed many occupations. But, he stresses, he never did a lick ol work that didn't call lor a horse or mule "When it's too Imivh for a herse or mule, it'j loo lough for Cowboy Jack," he says firmly. The life of a cowpoke is well known to him, as well as running a pack string for the U.S. Forest Service, freight rigs, and even , the racing and rodeo circuit. It is while discussing the fwe latter lines of endeavor that Cow boy Jack appears on the verge of being sorry for himself. He says: "My 135 pounds was too heavy for a jockey, and not heavy enough to handle the rough string, or bull dog big steers. But I gave both a good try." One feat that Schultz wants to see some modern teamster try is to turn a two wagon, six horse rig on Yrcka's Miner Street, as he did many times. He savs to day's freighters couldn't drive a ' hay rack past a Volkswagon with out upsetting both rigs. Now convalescing in reka. the old mountaineer is awaiting deer season, and a trip into the high country. "I'll come back chawin' jerkey," he says, "and it won't be doe meat, neither." Cowboy Jack has no time for either sex deer hunters. BAD BREAKS LIBERAL. Kan. IAP) The day before school was out, 12-year-old Gary Curry fell out of a tree. Both arms were broken below the el- bows.
