Show 4364 Loper- D 2384 to head for one of them; didn't know anything about the water. I had heard the sheep men talk about under the ledge, so I told Russell it ought not to be over sixty or seventy miles to Hite, and I had two horses there, -- " If we can get there, we can ride out." " All right." So we made that trip in two days, got there at eleven o'clock at night of the second day, waded the Dirty Devil and got there at eleven o'clock. Q So you substantially went down the west bank of the Colorado from this trail leading into Spanish Bottoms? A Yes. Q Crossing the Dirty Devil and reaching Hite? A Yes sir. Q Is that sheep grazing land the whole way? A Yes sir, all the way. BY MR. BLACKMAR: Q While you were making that journey down there did you encounter any people? A No, not a soul. Q Or see any ranch houses? A No sir. Q After you got to Hite where did you go? A I went down to Red canyon, then, and seen about the little ranch, and came back, and we went out to Greenriver. |
