So wonderful indeed was his skill in the saddle that he traveled with Buffalo Bill's wild west show around the world, and finally he married one of the women riders of that aggregation. Lowe bought the place from Daters, and Hi Kelly once owned it. In 1888 it was a sort of a road house, where mighty poor meals were served for "six bits a throw." About 1900 it was bought by the Yoders, and is now the ranch of Yoder and Marsh.
I was then bound for the Big Horn Basin. When I crossed the Goshen Holes it was one of those queer mirage days, when everything was a shimmer, and everything unreal. I passed within a mile or so of the Cherry Creek ranch, originated by Coffee in 1874, owned by Doty in 1888, and now belonging to the Clays. I am sure that the solid ground on which the ranch stands then appeared to be one vast inland sea, and boats floating upside down. Charles Coffee built the first structures of this ranch, Doty & Chamberlain enlarged it, and in 1886 they had a splitup. Chamberlain closed out his interests and went to Douglas, from which city he was elected to the State Senate. He made a lot of money in the sheep business later. Doty held to the place for twelve
years, when he sold to the Two-Bar people. Both Doty and Chamberlain are now with the Final Roundup over the Great Divide.
The ranch is still owned by the Clays, and Curtis Templeton is the genial local manager.
