The Days Of Forty-Ninc.

The principal saloon on the Forks
was the Howlin' Wilderness, an inn
mense pine log cabin with floor and
enormous fireplace. All the import
ant fights took place here, and if you
wanted to be well up in the news, or
to see the Saturday evening entertain
ment, you had to have some regard for
the Howlin' Wilderness. The proprie-
tors, who stood behind the bar. had
bags of sand laid up in bullet-proof
wall inside the counter, between them
and the crowd, SO that when the shoot
ing set in, and men threw themselves
on the floor, fled to the door, or barri-
caded themselves with monte tables
and wooden benches, they had only to
drop down behind the bags Of sand
andslie there, pistol inland, until the
affair was over. These men were wisely
silent and impartial in all misunder-
standings that arose. They always
seemed to try to queH q trouble and
prevent q fight, and perhaps they did
so. There is nothing that draws like
a bar-room fight in California have
known miners, standing on their good
behaviour, who resisted the tempta-
tions of hurdy gurdy houses and bull
fights, but | never yet knew one who
could help going to see the dead man
or the scene Of the six-shoOter war
dance whenever shots were heard.
There was a tall man, sort Of a half
sportsman and half miner, who had a
cabin close to town, and who seemed
to take a special interest in these bat
ties. He was known as g Long DAM
alWas carried a pistol, and took a pride
in getting into trouble. A gambler,
called from his grand look and manner,
.The Prince" warned him that he
would die with his boots on. ssNow,
see if you don't, if you keep on sling
ing your six-shooter round loose in
this way; you will go up the fume as
slick as salmon-die with your boots
on before you know it." Dan blandly
smiled as he tapped his ivory pistol
butt and said: sBet you the cigars l
don't. Whenever my man comes to
the center I'll call him, see if | don't,
and get away with it, too" Soon af-
ter this conversation, pistol shots were
heard at the howlin' Wilderness, and
Prince rushing thither learned it was
.Long DAM As friend and neigh
Dor Of the wounded man, room was
made for him at the monte table, and
Dan whispered to him request to
take off his boots. 1.-THE Prince hast
ened to comply, and again Dan whis-
pered to him, prince, Prince, old
boy, I've won the cigars! I've won
'em by the holy poker And SO he
died.

hunter, q symmetrical being, generally
in loose-cut undressed deerskin leggins
and tunic, adorned with dyed quilts,
and fringe, leaps on his painting steed
and chases the terrified bison many a
long mile, and at convenient dis
lance, with his strong right arm, throws
the sinuous lasso, bringing the mon
ster to the earth in the midst of its
wild career. Calmly he takes unerring
aim with his goodly backwoods rifle,
and lodges the leaden messenger of
death in the brain of the lassoed brute.
Leaping lightly from his steed, the
hunter then advances cautiously, with
knife in hand, and the bison's heart
has scarcely ceased to beat ere the
luscious steak is on the glowing coal.
And SO forth, and so on, until the re-
naming meat has been hung up on a
tree or buried, to be come for at an
other time, and the animal duly hayed
and the skin set QUITO dry in the sun.
For a gilt-edged young gentleman,
fond of romance, who had the good
luck to linda terrified, bounding bison,
out all alone, with his hoofs and horns
safely locked up athome, and his teeth
in1iis Waistcoat pocket, that library
picture will do well enough, but the
reality is sometimes a rather grim at
fair. The bison run in herds of from
two to four thousand head, and when
they are alarmed they scamper off, and
when they scamper off, God help the
hunter or score Of hunters who are
1uckless enough to stand in their way.
A hundred hunters would be swept off
the earth into atoms as certainly as
though they We're to oppose with their
bodies a locomotive engine. The bold
hunters do not chase the bounding
bison in that way. They have learned
wisdom and tricks since they shot BIZ
son for the Eastern markets. They
adopt all kinds of strategems, the
most successful of which is the dig
ging Of little pits, or hiding il natural
holes, where the buffalo are pretty
sure to pass. Here they wait many
weary hours before the herd takes up
such position that they can be safely
scared from the rear with the certainty
of advancing in the direction of the
hunters. Once scared, they will come
tearing on like the wind, and the hun
ter can pop at them in front out of the
pits, while those in the rear pop at
them behind and on the sides from
heir saddles. A bison will always
Jump hole, but if he turns and means
light, most hunters prefer not to abide
he issue. Tt is a risky business, and
,nly fit for Indians and whites of the
most unsettled habits.
