| + | [[15 Oct 1882]] "Tex" the colored roughrider, was followed by about fifty sporting men to the [[George Thomas]] stable at the rear of [[J. J. Graham's store]], where he intended to give a demonstration of his horsemanship. To his surprise, Mr. Thomas led out a seventeen hand high blind horse. Tex saw no blood in his eye, and did not care to exhibit on such a beast, but when accused of turning white, and being afraid of being bucked off, he boldly saddled the poor old nag and rode through town without use of bridle. He declares that the more life a "horse possesses, the more at home he is in the saddle." | ||
