THEY TACKLED THE WRONG TOWN.
Last Saturday morning the very air
was burthened with rumors of des-
perate battle between two desperadoes
and the citizens Of Lewistown, on the
evening of the Fourth. The first infor
nation that reached Maiden was that
TWO horse thieves had been run down
and shot. Other conflicting stories
were soon in circulation, making 1t
impossible to form any definite con-
clusion as to what had occurred. In
order 10 furnish our readers with the
facts as well as a complete, unexagger-
ated statement of the occurrence, we
secured a conveyance and drove to
the scene Of action.
At Lewistown we found the various
business men pursuing their several
vocations, showing by neither action
or word that a few hours before they
had participated IN a bloody affray
that is destined to prove one OF the
most interesting historical events that
ever did or will occur on Big Spring
creek, and but for the seemingly inter
vention of Providence, would have
proven the last day to number of the
inhueutial citizens Of TIA. place.

1t seems that these desperate char
acters arrived on the creek some three
weeks ago, with small band OF horses
which they stated they had drove VI
from Wyoming. They camped arounC
in various places, trading or selling OF
some of their stock, while the owners

BEYOND THE HAZE.

\ WINTER RAMBLE REVERE.
The road was straight, the afternoon was
gray,
The frost hung listening in the silent
air;
On either hand the rimy fields were
bare;
Beneath my feet unrolled the long, white
way. .......s
Drear as my heart, and frightened by no
ray
From the wide winter sun, whose disc
reclined
In distant copper sulIenness behind
The broken network Of the western
hedge
A crimson blot upon the fading day.
Three travellers went before me--one
alone
Then two together, who their fingers
nursed 4.
Deep in their pockets, and watched
the first -.-.
Lapse in the curtain the slow haze had
thrown
Across the vista which had been my own.
Next vanished the chill comrades,
blotted out
Like him they followed but | did not
doubt
That there beyond the haze the travellers
Walked in the fashion that my sight
had known. iIr
Only beyond the hazel oh, sweet belief!
That this is also death; that those we've
kissed
Between our sobs are just beyond the
mist"
An easy thought to iuggle with to grief!
The gulf seems measureless and death a
thief
Can we who were 50 high and are so
low,
So clothed in love, who now in tatters
go,
Echo serenely, Just beyond the haze
And of Il sudden find trite relief?

In the Jaws Of A Panther.


A Bombay shikaree narrates how
he actually fell into the claws of a
panther, and lived to tell the tale.
After describing the incidents Of the
hunt up to the time when the beast
broke cover, he says: ,.a
II had to wait until the panther
past within a few feet of me, and /
then put my rife down to his head
expecting to roll him over like a
rabbit Gas had succeeded in doing.
on other ,occasions), and then place
my second bullet pretty much where
| pleased. To my horror, there W as
no report when the hammer fell
The next moment the panther, with
an angry roar, sprang onme. Hang
ing on with the claws of one fore
paw driven into my right shoulder
and the the other round me, he tried
to get at my head and neck, but I
fortunately prevented this by raising
my left arm, which he instantly
seized in his huge mouth. shall
never forget his sharp, angry roar.
the wicked look of the greenish vel
low eyes within six inches of mine,
the turned ears, his fntid breath
upon my cheek, and the feeling Of
his huge fangs closing to the bone
through my arm above the elbow.
Il endeavored, by giving him my
knee in the stomach, to make him
let go. Those who have never kick
ed a cat can imagine what little ef-
feet this had. 1t was more like
using ones knee to football than
anything else. The panther, with
roar, gave Il tremendous wrench to
my arm, hurled me some five PAGES
down the side of the hill prone ON
my face, bringing my head in con-
tact with a tree. Stunned and in
sensible, | lay some seconds on the
ground, and the brute thinking me
dead, fortunately did not worry me.
| but, passing over me, went for the
retreating police constable who had
brought me into the difficulty. |
remember, when | came to, raising
my head from the ground, leaning
my forehead against the tree, and
smiling with certain feeling of grim
satisfaction, when my eye caught
the retreating form of the constable
and the pursuing panther down the
hill, and | thought the policeman's
turn had come.
"The civil surgeon of the station
probed the teeth wounds in the arm
and found that at the back of the
arm ran right to the bone and was
an inch and a half deep. The two
wounds on the inner side, in or close
to the biceps, Were, one inch and
a quarter and the other an inch deen
The claw wounds on theright shouI-
der were not serious, and had for
tunately just missed the large artery
nearthe collar-bone, an injury which
would have resulted in my bleeding
to death in Il very few minutes"
