"To give a true picture, as I possibly can, of the Four Six
mashes, I shall give a brief **Aline of S.B.Burnett's history
as it is related to the settle industry.
"Samuel Burk Burnett, familiarly known as Burk Burnett, or
Capt. Burnett, was born in Bates se.,14., Jan. 1,1849. he some
to Texas with his father, Jerry Burnett, in 1859, immediately
following the bloody Ruffin alma Jayhawker's raids, whisk started
in 1857, whisk depredations resulted in devastating the homes of
nany people of the lesality, including the Burnett's.
"Jerry Burnett traveled from Misaeuri to Texas in a severed
wage*, the chief node of trassportatien tkese days. The family
settled on Dentin Greek, is Dente* se. The father, Jerry Burnett,
started inaediately to esquire a herd if cattle. Hs seen had a
small herd which ins/geese* rapidly in numbers.
"The range was open and free in these days, with an abuadanse

of grass and water, and it was in this setting that Burk Burnott
acquired his limexperience which started him on his suisessfUl
career in the cattle business.
"Burk was among tie first men to drive a herd North up the
trail to Kangas. Re took a herd of sattle up the trail for his
father in 1867. lie, at that times was only 18 years old. Thaugh
this was his first exnerionse an trail boss, he had gene up tne
tr511 the previous year Me a trail hand.
%Aron after he retarned from making the drive for his father,
he started his own cattle buainesa. He was suseessful in his
venture and acquired a tract of land in 4ishita °aunty, where
he leasted his headquarters, and in the vicinity et this present
town of Burkburnett, named for him.
"He purchased the Four Six brand along with about 100 'woad
of cattle, which were (tarrying it, from Frank Crowlft, of Dunton
cc., about 1871. He moved theacJ settle to his )aiehita county
ranch. There are several stories told relating to hew Burnett
made the purchase of the Flour Six brand. Among these stories is
one to the offset the brand and oattls was won in sari gams en
a hand containing four sixes and, considering tail four sixes
lucky, he adopted 166661 as his brand. I shall leave the reader
to draw on his own imagination and decide what the facts are. The
resorts show there was a transaction whereby Burnett purchased the
brand and 100 heat of cattle from one Frank Crowley. :Non if it
has been a lot of brand, it has been a suosossfUl one.
"Captain Burk Burnett advaneed rapidly in the cattle business
and became extensively enga4ed in handling steers. From tie early

80s to the turn of the century he grassed thousands of steers
in the Kies* and Comantsh0 reservations of the Indian Territory
(new Oklahoma). Knowing, that in order to sueeessfUlly grass
(settle in the Indians/ reservations he must nave their friendship,
he cultivated their good will. .uanah Parker, Chief of the
Comanehes, was Burk's friend, andothrough wutina4,Burnett settled
many tioputen and wielded a large influents* in behalf of other
Texas cattlemen with the Indians.
"Through his ability to make friends, Burk had the respect
of may influential men, and one among them was the late Theodor*
Roosevelt. Aen the Federal Government was preparing to open the
Twrritory to homesteaders, about 1900, the Government ordered the
cattlemen to vacate their leases immediately, in the Klima and
Comanehe eountry. Captain Burnett made a trip to ,itashingten for
the purpose of securing an 'extension of time when the 'seating
order should take effect. Me sueeeeded in making arrangements,
through tue efforts of Theodore Roosevelt, then President, in his
behalf, whereby the time was *standee two years. This a.i.tension
gave 1st and other cattlemen time to move and dispose of their
herds in a mere satisfactory and orderly manner.
"Soon after the right to lease ranch land terminated in the
Lima and Comanehe t rritory, Burnett began to acquire grasing
land in Texas. He began to acquire his Texas land in 1900, by
the purchase of the old 1,.ights, ranch, oonsisting of 140,000
acres located in King *aunty, from tno Louisville Land and Cattle
Company, of Louisville, Ky. un this tract of land he established
his our Six ranch.. He eentinuet tu acquire additional tracts

"S.B.Burnett dissontinuet operatioa of his achita county
ranch in 1910, at which time he leased it to his son, TiL.Burnett
of Iowa park, Tex.
That Captain Burnett was outstanding ea a eattleman and
business man is evident by what he a000mplished. It is obvious
that he possessed a keen Judgment, a far aightodness, exceptional
business ability and energy. le not only aoquired one of the

they are leaded on the ears and ship ei to the Dixon Greek relish,
a distanse of about 175 miles*.
"The heifers are sorutinised for breeders, to be used as
replasements. As a rule, around 1,000 head are retained for
this purpose annually. Tite rest of the heifers are then sold as

The steers ere generally run an the Dixon creek:ranch until
they are three years old, at which age they are sold to feeder
buyers for fall delivery. For tue past several years these steers
have been bought by the preminent feeders of Fort itorth, Te.
"Uf course, in adtition to selling the yearling culled
heifers and tnree year old steers, there are old cowa and bulls
and seme ummerehantable cattle to be culled out ant disposed of
each year. These, a by-protaet *f the industry, are generally
from 8 to 1U years of as and eonstitute from 10 to lb per sent
