The lightning flashed. The thunder banged. The cowboys whooped. The horses, led by a black mustang stallion, galloped. Gumbo mud spattered. Arrived at the camp the horses, thoroughly out of control, splashed through the shallow water-pool, soon left wet and weary horse catchers far behind. "It's a part of the game," said Catcher Skelton...
