County, II ucdu. ne uteQ NJ noon
just as tho Yellow Jacket
whistle was footing the hour of dinner
aud men were thinking OF food and
other worldly things suited to the liv-
Ing and not tho dying. Kyzer was
black all over, and had more dog in
him than was ever done up In 80 small
q package. He was q breed Of his own,
all to himself. and therefore started In
to fight his way through the world,
reckless of consequences. He fought
every dog he ever saw that was bigger
than himself, and getting whipped
never discouraged him II It was forty
times a day. He desplsed small dogs.
Kyzer crossed the plains with an
emigrant train from Iowa In 1852,
and was an old dog then. He never
was a pup. Honestly speaking he
must have been at least fifteen years
old. We found him at Como ten years
ago, and he affiliated with us from that
time forth, as miner, newspaper re-
porter. editor, and all that sort Of
thing. He was the most honest uncom-
promising friend we ever had, therefore
we feel It a duty to do q little justice to
his memory. Kyzer, In all his battles,
never considered himself whipped, and
now, when pneumonia and old age
combined to floor him. he died with
his face to the foe, with the
hair bristled up all along his back,
and showing his poor, old, remaining
snags Of teeth in defiant viciou,ness.
II there are dogs in the next world, he
will make It mighty warm for some OF
his old enemies who have gone before
him.
