Because of this late fall riding, I was delayed in getting bark to the University and was two months late for scho01."~ The Arizona Strip was used primarily as cattle range and was grazed all year, but especially in the winter months. In 1'310, several people began running sheep in the area and grazed them there the year round. Homesteaders had mnved in and taken over quite a bit of the property and nonc of the Imys wanted to go down the^ and run the cows. This continued use of the land damaged the cattle business, and eventually Lehi and Dave Bulloch decided to move their cattle to better feed. In 1915, Kunlen and Rass, along with Dave C. Bulloch, Mont Sawyer, Arthur Perry and others, rounded u p approximately 1350 head of cattle on the .4rizona Strip and started with them from Cane Beds toward Cedar hlountain uver the Sand Hills and through Orderville Gulch toward the Three-Creeks arca.'

The other fellows had gone ovcr (:edar Mountain to pick up the saddle horses, but Will and Joe Rowley, who accompanied him, went by way of Hurricane, Cane Beds and Short Creck and eventually caught up with the men and the herd at Mount Carrnel, approximately thirty miles northeast of Short Crerk. Will then continued with the heard and Joe Rowley took the wagon Ilack to Cedar City. Thcy had seventy-five head of horses and mules with them, some of which carried supplies." At first, the cattle moved along fairly well, but they were not acquainted with the range. This country was strange to the riders as well as the cattle. Dave C. Bulloch, Dave Bulloch's son, and Kumen had been through the arra l~efore the others were completely unfamiliar but with the surroundiligs. The cattle began to scatter when they started ovcr thc mineral country and Clear C:reek Mountain where there was wak and brush. 'The fellows found that keeping this huge herd of cattle and horses together was practically an impossible task. T h e water consisted of small springs which were not adequate for a herd of that size and the cattle were thinty and hungry. When they reached the green oak and better feed, the animals almost refused to be driven further. T h e men struggled for da)-s with the cattle, riding from daylight until dark, moving them forward for what seemed to be an inch at a time. Will remembels riding into camp at 10:30 one night in the Orderville Gulch only to find that some of the pack hones were lost, which only added to their problems. The drive was taking so much more time than they had anticipated that they were getting short on food and wcre hecoming very discouraged. Finally, they reached Hog's Heaven and decided to separate the Rulloch and Jones Cattle and take them in different directions. 178
