The Wild Hunter.


and a. that time the country back frsm
the Missouri was not much settled. The
fame Of the Big Blue lands had spread
far and wide, and every week scores of
farmers from Iowa, Ilimsis, and Missouri
came in and settled on the rich bottoms,
almost invariably writing back to their
friends in the States that the land was one
flowing with milk and honey, aud urging
them to come and take up farms. So the
settlement prospcred amazingly, and Be-
atrice, Neb, which had only been a town
"on paper" became thriving village in
reality.
Among the farmers who came to settle
in this new country was Mr. Thompson
aud bis family. They had formerly lived
in Iowa, on he Big Sioux River, six miles
from Sioux City; but, not prospcring there,
they sought to better their condition by
moving to Nebraska, aud selected the
Big Blue as the place Of their future home
Ar. Thompson's family consisted Of his
wife, his daughter Mary, sweet girl of
sixteen, and an old man uhs had spent the
besr part of his life in the service eff the
family, and now that he was old, was re-
tanned for the good he had done, and that
he might have home in his declining
wears. At one time Mr.. T. had been well
off in the world, but unfortunate specula-
tions in Western lands had ruined him,
and, at the time Of which speak, he had
little left besides q few herses. wagon or
two, and dozen head of cattle.
Near to where Mr.. Thompson had set
tied Oh the Blue lived a wild young man,
who had won for himself the name of 'the
Wild Trapper of the Blue" He lired all
alone on the head waters of a little creek,
aud was rarely seen except when he came,
once in every two or three months, to the
traders to exchange his furs and skins for
-four, tobacco, matches, coffee, and such
other articles as he needed. On these oc-
casions, after having made his purchases.
he would lounge about the traders for sew.
eral days, drinking bad whiskey, and
quarrelling with every one he could get
to quarrel with MIN. When under the
Influence of whiskey, he would mount his
horse, and, with two large navy revolvers
in his belt. ride up and down the village,
defylng every one to come out and hight
him. For the slightest offence, either re-
al or imagined, he would fire at man.
and. if he had grudge against amy enc,
that persons cattle er horses were sure
soon afterward to be missing. 1t was
more than hin,ed that he was the principal
or accomplice in many of the ihefts and,
if he we're SO minded, could tel. where
most of tho valuable horses stolen from
time to time on the Salt Lake stage road
had gone. Yet such was the reputation
of this young desperate for courage and
wickeduess that no one cared to mejdle
with him, and wherever be went his soci-
ety was tolerated rather thaD preferred.
No ten men could have been induced to
90 10 his ranche to search for stolen stock,
and so the matter was allowed to rest
every one blaming him with all sorts Of

THE Suns FRANKS NoRTHwARD.-A
letter dated at Hoistcinburg, Greenland,
July 10Th, says The days have now
commenced to shorten with us, though we
are able to read at midnight without the
aid of candle-light. On the Sd, pavsy
of us climbed tho hill SO that we might
lock at the midnight sun for the last time;
for on the next night it hid its lower limb
below the horizon. An island prevented
us from seeing the horizon. The sun
commenced to disappear behind 1t, and at
midnight all we could see was its upper
limb; it then began to rise again. The
sun, instead of rising in the east and set
ting in the west, as we were taught at
school, rises here north by east and sets
in north by west. 1t is now rapidly
changing its place of rising and setting,
and in six months will rise and set in the
south; then it will begin to travel north

assuring those who may have business

is no danger whatever as yet. Though
the Cholera is spreading over some parts
of the State and may Seach this place
