owns Q little the meauest piece Of horse
Hssh NO sysr saw. he (the horse) is
scrub stock and decidedly Of the mus
tang persuasion, that is to say, he can
buck harder, when you least expect it,
kick higher and wickeder, and snort
more like q locomotive than any ether
auadruped this side Of Patagonia. The
animal ia q handsome one, however,
being what Spanish Cslifornians call a
npinto," and when he feels kindly dis
posed he can run like q deer, and ride
as easy and gentle as any man could
wish. But just about the time you are
thinking him to be the gentlest and
most amiable Of his species, the
devil or some other evil spirit
seems to get iuts him, and then
look out for q rebellion. Thus it 10 that
mere than 8 dozen times his unsuspeet-
ing master, taken unawares, has been
ruthlessly tumbled of into the dirt, to
bis great surprise and disgust, and thus
il 10 that he has had periodical fits OF
wishing to sell that aforesaid horse.
Three or four times he has succeeded
in selling him, but just about the time
no began TO fslicitate himself that be
had finally got rid Of the faithless,
t~reacherous beast, the purchaser would
retarn him as the most desperate animal
ever known, and insist with threats on
his taking him back. On one occasion
he was accused Of plotting to murder a
man in this way, and it was only oy
taking back the horse and ~refundlng
the money with interest that he escaped
a criminal prosecution, or a duel.
About a week ago no garea man twenty
dollars TO take, ride, drag, or otherwise
remove this internal beast to the Sink
of Carson and there shoot, slaughter, or
otherwise destroy and wipe him out OF
existence, the man agreeing to forfeit
500 in case the animal ever un-
der the eye Of his owner again alive.
He remiads US some Of the old Dutch
man out in Chicago who thus advertises
his runaway wife: Ny wife Barbara
Rickshsn, whose hash bin Reslern, has
either run away from me or been stolen.
