Lehi hired Oriah Leigh to stay with the cattle and Lehi's boys took turns working with him. Oriah took part of his salary in cattle. Lehi M. recalls spending a great deal of time at the herd. Rass talked about leaving Cedar City alone, when he was a young man of 15, with supplies on pack horses to take to the camp at Short Creek. Sometimes, he was away from home two or three months and it was usually several weeks before his mother heard whether he had arrived safely. O n one of these trips Rass met Zane Grey, the author of many western novels. Rass said, "Zane Grey spent three days with our outfit collecting information for his books. H e seemed to be anti-Mormon in his writings, but he lived with the Mormons and was friendly, and on good terms, with them." Rass felt that being against the Mormons was sort of a front to make better reading material. O n one occasion, Rass and Warren Bulloch were returning from Mount Trumble, south of Short Crcek, with a pack outfit and ten head of horses. T h e morning after they had camped at a spot north of Grand Canyon, Rass woke up with a severe "l,ellyache." The two fellows started out riding but Rass said, "I would ride and stop, walk awhile, ride and stop again until, after about ten miles, I was at the end of my rope." Finally, he gave up and laid down under a tree, groaningin pain. Warren started out for help but Short Creek was nearly thirty miles away so he decided to go back with Rass and do what he could for him. .4fter a sleepless night, the pain subsided and they continued on to Cedar City. Rass consulted a doctor who felt certain that he had experienced a severe attack of appendicitis and was extremely fortunate that t h i n s turned out as they did." Henry related the following about his experiences: "After I returned from my mission, I spent the first year working with sheep for my father and his brother, until they decided to put the sheep in the Cedar Mercantile Co. In the fall of 1909, I went to Salt Lake to attend the University of Utah. While there, I lived with Henrietta and Ferd at their home on second South and 9th East. In 1910, Lehi M. and I bought the Brand 0. Ranch and Leigh's cattle that were on the Arizona Strip." (Oriah Leigh left the Joneses and moved to California.) "Dave C. Bulloch, Oriah Leigh, and I lcft Cedar in August to go to the 'strip' to receive the cattle. We went over Cedar Mountain, down through Lower Herd, Hay Canyon to Mount Carmel, and then to Cane Beds. There, Dave C. and Oriah got into an argument and we broke up. Dave C. and I went with Bar Z, a cattle ranch near there, looking for rattle, and Oriah went with a Kanah outfit. When we got through riding, I hired out with the Bar Z to drive 1800 head of cattle to Lund. We came by way of the Big Plain and crossed the river at Virgin, going through Toquerville, Pin177
