Two Veracious Cow Boys See and Chase
the Solitary Savage of Snake River.

Two COW boys who just came in from
CaInas Prairie relate an experience
which will probably go a great. way to-
ward re~establishing the popular faith
in tho wild mans tradition. On the
first day OF this month two COW boys
searching for cattle lost Sin the storm
passed over some lava crags, and were
startled by suddenly seeing before them
the form SO often described to them.
They were so terrified that they sat up
ON their horses, looking at 1t in dread.
mastering courage and drawing their
revolvers they dismounted and gave
chase, but the strange being skipped
from crag TO cIag as nimbly as a noun
tain goat. After an hours pursuit both
young men were SO utterly worn out
that they both laid down-seeing which
the wild man gradually approached
them and stopped on the opposite side
of the gorge In the lava. from which
point he regarded the COW boys intently.
The latter would not shoot, as they con-
sidered it would be unjustifable, though
they kept their pistols ready for USE,
while carefully returning the compli-
ment thoroughly inspecting the phan-
tom Of Snake River.
The wild man was considerably over
six feet in height, with great muscular
arms, which reached to his knees. The
muscles stood out In great knots, and his
chest was as broad as that of a bear.
Skins were twisted about his feet and
ankles, and a wolf skin about his waist.
All parts Of his body to be e e were
covered by long, black hair, while from
his head the hair flowed over his shoul-
deFs I'm course, tangled rolls, and mixed
with q heavy beard. His face was dark
and swarthy, and his eyes shone bright
ly, while two tusks protruded from his
mouth. His fingers were the shape of
claws, with long, sharp nails, and he
acted very much as a wild animal which
is unaccustomed to seeing a man. The
boys made all kinds Of noises, at the
sound Of which he twisted his head
from side to side and moaned-apparent-
ly he could not give them any "back-
talk" so, wearying of cycling him, the
two boys fired their revolvers, wherupon
the wild man turned a doubled somer-
saul, and jumped fifteen feet to a low
bench and disappeared, growing terri
bly, as he went.
1t Is supposed that this is the same
apparition that has so often been seen
before. The man, no doubt, does as the
Indians did for subsistence, and lives ON
Canas roots, which grow wild by acres,
and he nc doubt kills young stock as
many yearlings and calves disappear
mys+eriously, and nothing but skeletons
of them are ever found.
The boys at the stock camp are ar
ranging to go out on q scout again to
overtake him, when, being provided
with l~ariats, they will lasso him and
bring him to HALEY, to deliver him up
TO the county authorities. Haley Times.

Drop that Hat.

We were running through South Car
olina when a great big giant Of a fellow
with a terrible eye and a voice like a
foghorn boarded the train at a small sta
tlOn. l think most of the passengers
sized him up rs q chap whom it would
be dangerous to argue with; but the
giant wasn't satisfied with that. He
clustered ut the conductor, growled at
the brakeman, and looked around as If
seeking some one to pick a fuss with.
Everyone answered him civilly, and he
had two or three Fseats to himself, but
the a IA who wants a row can generally
end some pretext. About the center of
the car q pale-looking chap about Is
years old, occupied a seat and was read
ing q newspaper. After q time the giant
rubbed along to where the young man
sat and gruWled out:
Stranger, what may be the first cost
Of such q hat as yours?"
The young man looked up with a flash
In his big blue eyes, and then turned to
his paper without replying.
"Hey! Did you hear me7" roared the
other, q he leaned over the seat and
Lifted the hat off the young mans head.
Quicker than one could count six q
shining revolver came from you couldn't
toll where, lifted itself on a level with
the big mans eye, and the white fin
gers clutching the butt never trembled
q air'sbreadth as q quiet voice uttered
the words:
drop that hatl"
The hat fell from the giants grasp,
and the quiet voice exclaimed:
Nov you sit down or I'll kill you'll"
The muzzle of the weapon was not six
inches from the mans eye, and 1 saw
him turn from red to white In ten sec
Onds. He backed away at the command
sat down in q seat opposite, and never
stood up or spoke another word during
the ride Of twenty miles. He had q
navy under his coat, but something
In that quiet voice and blue eye warned
him that the move Of a finger on his
part would crash 3 bullet into his head.
