Hope this is helpful for researchers. Perhaps someone could re-post this on alternate spelling "McIntyre" forums.

AN OLD POEM FOUND.

Mentions: Earle R. Forrest * Cedar Ranch, 35 miles north of Flagstaff, *

IN THE ATTIC

By Carlisle C. Mclntyre

The pungent smell of the desert sage Ascends fom the open trunk ;

He scans with eyes that are dim with age

The bundle of dutsy junk

A rope, a saddle, a broken spur,

A rag of a Navajo,

A tarp, a bridle, and chaps that were The things of the long ago.

A slicker streaked by the Texas rains,

And boots of the "shop-made" brand, Besmeared with mud of the Pecos plain

And worn by mud of the Brazos sand, A hat besmoked by the campfire grime, A holster, a belt and gun,

And blankets gnawed by the teeth of time. . .
