The Arizona sentinel., 1889-11-30

runner can get over the ground marvel
ously fast. They were introduced into
the Northwest by the Norwegians, and
are now common in that region. They
differ widely from the ordinary Ameri-
can snow-shoe, being made of single
strip of wood extremely long, very thin,
narrow, grooved, and turned up sharply
/ The foreman undertook TO make the
/ journey to the post-ofice. He started on
/ q bright morning with clear frosty air
/ The weather continued fayorabIe until
after be had begun his return trip. Then
/ the wind shifted into the northwest and
+ began To blow hard, pulverizing the
| fallen snow, anu driving it forward Ike
powdered glass; but as there were no
! signs of snow-storm, and Adair had
! the wind at his back he thought it best
to continue on his way and swept for
! ward on the SKIS at d good gait
When within "a mile Of the ranch
/ house. be came upon a bunch If spirit

their forlorn and starving condition.
All at once the cattle wheeled about,
tossed their heads to windward, and
then, with low means, hurried on in a
weak and unsteady run. At the same
time the distant baying of dogs came to
the foreman's ears. He had heard much
of the wild dogs which had recently in
vaded that part of the Territory, but
he had never seen any of them.
Again that mournful howl came down
the wind, and Adair, shielding his strain
ing eyes from the scudding snow-dust,
caught sight of a half-dozen dark, brute
forms wallowing through the deep drifts
on the trail of the frightened cattle.
The dogs were reported to be very
daring and vicious, and he scarcely
knew what to do. They had not seen
him, and he stood gazing at them, hest
cattle. Then, as one of the COWS turned,
with fiery eyes and tossing horns, to
give the pursuers battle, he threw off
his fears and rushed to her aid.
As he advanced, he drew his revolver.
But before he could get near enough to
use 1t, the foremost dog flew at the COW
with terrible feroc1ty--SYith a savage
