"The 'RR' ranch was located about 20 miles North of the biggest rustling outfits in the country, the Hidden Pasture, which was owned by Sam Bass. During my time on the 'RR' we never found that the Bass outfit bothered any of our critters. Sam's long suit was hosses and that was what he ranged on his place. He called at the ranch many times and I met him often while riding the range, but he never seemed to be bothering critters. Sam was a sociable fellow and I always enjoyed to meet up with him. The fellows that gave us the trouble came from other section of the country."
