But scratches and bruises were common in those days, and after a brief delay to ascertain how serious were the casualties, the gay party went on with the dance until after sunrise.

At the Seven-U there are four graves -- two of which were emigrants and two are old cowboys that died with their boots on and were so buried. One of the latter was a brother of Henry Bradford, who was with the English boys later, and the other a Texan concerning whom later reference is made.

The surviving Bradford had become possessed of a large acreage north of Camp Clarke, which was called the Bradford ranch, and which was operated by a man named Elliott. Bradford had some income therefrom, and he spent part of his time at the Seven-U until his brother was killed.

One day they were discussing a certain outlaw horse that had been run into the corral with great difficulty. The discussion was mixed with sundry libations. At a certain stage "Brad" offered to bet twenty-five dollars that he could saddle and bridle the animal unassisted. The bet was covered and he repaired to the corral. After much difficulty he managed to get a rope over its head and this he looped about a log in the barn. Gradually he worked the animal nearer and finally he got it into the barn and snubbed up to the manger. Here he proceeded to blind it with a gunny sack, and then saddle and bridle it. One sudden upward swing of the head at an unexpected moment took "Brad," who was leaning over the partition from an adjoining stall, squarely in the face, and he lost all the teeth of his upper jaw on the left side. Occasionally afterwards, he would point out and display the gold teeth with which they were replaced, and say: "Well, I won the twenty-five, but it cost me a hundred."
