Show I 1TERVIEW: Romero Page 12 BR: . ago. And that millionaire \-lanted to buy my land too, but I told him, ''.L dLitt' L SL' l L: 11 All }'LIU t I.!L'd lH.:rc in l:b .i.l:l laud is Lu dev '.lup 1. L. Pe~haps we could use a tractor in order to take out the perfect benefits of this land. You would need to plow well. You could go to there they have one of the oldest churches. The church at Rancho de Taos has more than 400 years of age. At my age, it is very cifficult to reme~ber everything. You know that I was one of t.ose that passed through here on horseback back in 1900, or in 1899. I was very young then, and here I am now. If you should come back I \-lill probably recall other things . But my adventures I have already told you about: caporal, manager, camEero, sheep herder, adventures up to ~''yoming; but some little thing remains in .the mind that can be recalled. I haven't told you some of the best of my adventures. I was very astute in this thing they called "wild game". I killed three bears by trickery, and one without the use of trickery. This idea of killing bears by trickery is very simple. For example, one of these animals causes some damage with your sheep, all you have to do, for example, is fashion a pen, and this has to be with limbs and branches, and it has to be rather high. You have to take one tree and then from that tree run the fence to another tree, until you have a pen fashioned which has one open end. At that open end you place a rifle, and from the trigger -- a rifle which is cocked - you tie a string which at the other end leads to a piece of the animal or sheep that the bear has killed. And when the bear comes and pulls on that carcass the rifle will fire, and the weapon which is pointed in the direction of the carcass will hit the animal. You can find areas which have these facilities |
