HIS CRIME,
Ma-to-o-hi-ti-ke, alias Wap-pe, other
wise known as Brave Bear, suffered the
penalty of death for crime COM
mitted on the 18Th of May, 1879, on
the Fort Sally military reservation.
A soldier named Joseph Johnson, dis
charged from the United States service,
left Cheyenne agency five miles above
Fort Sally, for the jim river country,
where he was to engage III farming and
stock-raisipg with his two brothers.
He had with him $500 in money, his
horse, rifle, and other personal prop
erty of small value. He was travelling
alone. Brave Bear knew that Johnson
was to make the trip, and laid his
plans accordingly. Some 20 miles east
ward from the Missouri river he
ambushed his victim and shot him
from behind, through the head. He
took Johnson's horse, gun, clothing,
money and everything he possessed
leaving the body naked upon the
prairie, and left for Sitting Bulls do
mains across the border. The money
he buried somewhere near the scene
of the murder, and no one knows
whether it WAS ever found or not
Johnson was missed, and after long
search his decaying remains were found
where his murderer had shot him
down.
With the surrendered braves of Sit

4 WILD MAN In IDAHO.
How Two Cowboys Chased the soil
tary savage of Snake River.


Two cowboys who just came in from
Camas Prairie relate an experience
which will probably go great way
toward establishing the popular faith
in the wild mans tradition. On the
first day of this month two cowboys,
searching for cattle lost in the storm,
passed over some lava crags and were
startled by suddenly seeing before
them the form so often described to
them. They we're so terrified that
they sat upon their horses, lc king at
it as in dread. Mastering courage and
their revolvers they dismounted and
gave chase, but the strange being
skipped from crag to crag as nimbly as
a mountain goat. After an hours
pursuit both young men we're so COM
pletely worn out that they laid down,
seeing which the wild man gradually
approached them and stopped on the
opposite side of a gorge in the lava,
from which point he regarded the cow
| boys intently.
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 rs broad as that of a
bear. Skins were twisted about his
feet and ankles and wolfskin about
his waist. All parts of his body to be
seen were covered by long, black hair,
while from his heed the hair flowed
over his shoulders in coarse, tangled
rolls and mixed with heavy beard.
His face was daak and swarthy and his
eyes shone brightly, while two tusks
prortuded from his moL.h. His fin
gers were the shape of claws, with
long, sharp nails, and he acted very
much as a wild animal which is unac-
customed 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-apparontly he
could not give them any back talk; )"
so, wearying of cycling him, the two
boys fired their reyolvers, whereupon
the wild man turned double somer-
sault and Jumped fifteen feet to q low
bench and disappeared, growing ter
ribl y 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 sub
sistence, and lives on Camas roots,
which grow wild by acres, and he no
doubt kills young stock, as many year
liDgs and calves disappear mysterious
ly, and nothing but skeletons Of them
are ever found.

country. A government man

fitted the country. A government man
he mad lately met had not this opinion,
however. He said these shows did a
lot of harm, and were not worth the
time and trouble wasted on them.
This was man, too, who was sen, out
py the government to lecture farmers
on the way to conduct their business.
1t was Mr.. Buckmaster he referred to.
This lecturer on farming ACTUALLY ted
him that the reason why clover was SO
good near large towns was because
there we're so many cats about a town,
and where cats were plenty mice were
scarce, hence the quality of the clover.
Referring to the Clydesdale stud
book, Mr.. Drew said no man believed
more in pedigree, either in horse or
COW, than he did, and he thought he
had been unfairly attacked by an Edin-
burgh newspaper on this question.
When he wanted an animal for breed
ing purposes he always looked out for
the best that could be got for money
and he had paid more money Tor an
animal than any other man ia the
county, let him be farmer or noble
man-and the question of whether it
came from Scotland OF England never
interfereG with his purchase. The
English mares are certainly the best
for breeding with Scotch horses, and
he could assure them that good Eng
fish mare, or good animal of any
kind, had always good pedigree, al
though there might perhaps be some
difficulty in tracing it.
They could not get a good animal out
of bad stock, and he believed if it
were worth the time spent, it could be
shown that the good English mares OF
the present day sprang from Scotch
stock. His own father used to send the
best of his mares to England. For the
simple reason that he got more money
for them there than here; and he was
sure, if the English had paid more at
tention to stud horses they would have
held better position as breeders today
Scotch breeders would have made a
great.mistake if they encouraged in
breeding. The paper referred to came
down upon him for fetching mare.
from England and then selling the foals
as Clydesdales. Well he would tell
them this-There is no such thing as a
pure Clydesdale, and ne never in his life
misrepresented the pedigree of an an.
imal esold. When they had no pedi.
gree he always sold them on their mer.
its. But really first class horses would
never be got by in-breeding. He had
proved this by experience. They dwip-
die down at the shows till they can only
take third prize, or perhaps com
mended," and that did not suit him
The infusion of English blood greatly
improved Clydesdale horses, and he
recommended his friends not to be led
away with claptrap about studbooks.
Mr.. Drew's opinion in regard to the
breeding of horses has great influence
with breeders he being one of the larg-
est breeders in Great Britain or Ameri.
ca having over 100 brood mares. His
stud horse "Prince of Wales" cost SO,

The Pennsylvania and New Jersey
Railway Companies rendered splendid

take any pay. The part Of the latter
was small, but it was well done. The
extra track laid to the Elberon cot

and Congress might properly have
been asked to pay the bill. The Penn
sylvania Company gave special train
to convey the wounded President 90
Elberon and the same to carry his
remains back to Washington. It also
furnished the train carrying body and
mourners from Washington to CIeve-
land. For all of this the company
will accept no compensation. Charles
