Lifelong Ambition Fulfilled
Despite Civilization Advance
DALLAS UP)—When Russell
Thorp was a kid he wanted to be
a stage coach driver like his dad.
By the time he grew to young
manhood the train had replaced
the stage coach and Thorp became
a cattleman instead.
At 82 he is the oldest member
of the American Cattlemen’s Assn.
His career parallels a romantic
era of cowmen versus homesteader
cowman versus sheepman and
frontier justice against the rust
lers.
He made his first roundup when
of Misses Cohenaur, Monroe and i he was 15 and for more than 50
years he was a rancher and work
ing cowboy.
The Texas trail hands he met
in his early days, he says, laid
the foundation for the cattle busi
ness in Wyoming. He believes it
so much that he headed a cam
paign which resulted in five monu
ments being placed along the Tex
as Trail as tribute to the Lone
Star cowpokes who ran their
herds to Wyoming in the 1880’s
and 1890’s.
But he kept his father’s stage
coaches and gave one armored
treasure coach to the Smithsonian

The early days of the cattle
business in Wyoming were filled
with cattle rustling and frontier
justice. In 1867 in Cheyenne vigil
antes hung 8 rustlers, shot 4 try
ing to escape and * sent several V
others to prison, the leather cow
man recalls.
But the Wyoming Stock Growers
Assn, never condoned such tactics
is “dry gulching” suspected evil
doers, which was the custom of
the time.
Thorp ran cattle in the Black
Foot Indian Reservation of Mon
tana and operated two ranches in
Wyoming, one of them the Dam-
fino Ranch, with as unusual a
name as can be found in Western
history.
Thorp says he drew out a new
brand in the dust one day just
after the turn of the century and
asked some of his cowboys what
to call it.
“Damned if I know” was the
answer he got from all of them,
:-o Damfino was its name.
One of the Wyoming rancher’s
favorite stories concerns a cow
boy going by the name of James
Murray in Wyoming in the early
days.
The cowpoke wrote Thorp, who
then was an official of the Wyom
ing Stock Growers Assn., and said
he wanted to marry a schoolteach
er but that he had shot a man in
Texas and his real name wasn’t
Murray. Would Thorp help him
clear his name.
Thorp contacted Texas Governor
Hogg, who cleared the cowboy of
blame so that he could take back
his real name and marry his
schoolteacher.
The man, said Thorp, was James
Dahlman, who was later to nom
inate William Jennings Bryan for
the presidency and who served as
mayor of Omaha longer than any
other man.
