he kotched a young grizzlie in a log
trap. Well, the boys made a good
strong cage for the blasted varmert
and the Johnny Bull. who had
never seed grizzlie afore in his
life, said the beast wasn't what it
was cracked up to be. He was
great on hun:in' dogs and every
few weeks he gets new one from
England, and the freight charges
are darnel near huff to keep a man
a year. Some of the dogs got froze
to death on the way but he man
aged to collect a dozen of en- at
McKinney's, and he paid Mac board
for 'em right along jas as if they

I'd like to put few dogs on TO
that bar and blarst my heyes uf l

This made Mckinney larf all over
and he says to the blawsted Lord,

Then Mckinney went down into
his old buckskin sack and raised
him right up to hundred and the
Lord he comes to time likewise
Finally they bartered round spell
and at last Mckinney he says,
make it two hundred and fifty and
you can turn the dogs all loose
right into the cage at once The
Britisher he climbed on to the bet
too quick and so they made the
match. Well, he rugged up plat
form over the cage and fixed some
trap doors so that he could let all
the dogs down to onst on to the
bar. Vel, the next morning ev-
ersthing was ready and he put the
dogs on the platform and sort 'er
housed them in to keep 'em from
jumpin' the game. Now he says, |
Mister Mckinney hill show what
Hinglsh blooded dogs are; this is
the haristecracy of twenty genera

him another hundred and he stood
pat. Hare you all ready for your
breakfast?' lie says to the dogs and
pulled the trap open. Well, it let
down a regular meat slide of dogs
on to that bar, twelve dogs in all.
