Ex-Cowboys In New York.

“You’ve no idea how many cowboys there are in New York driving trucks, and doing odd jobs like that,” said an ex-ranchman, who is now in business here. “They are a restless lot, and thousands of them got East by design or accident—mostly by accident, I think. They fetch up in the towns, and work into something or anything that has to do with horses. In town they are apt to be steady, and, for that matter, they aie on the plains. There isn’t any wila West any more. Those people who saw it ten or a dozen years ago saw a little of the wildness, and they saw the last. No cowboy thinks of shouting his way through the streets of a Western towii for fun in these days. He’d be arrested mighty quick if he tried it. If you want to see a cowboy, go around to ’s livery stable. There are two of them there. Both of them wear boiled shirts." —[New York Sun.
