colt was missing, and all efforts To hnu
him proved unavailing, 40 the animal
was abandoned TO his fate, which no
doubt would be that Of II vast number
that have found their way into the
equine paradise through the inciemeney
OF the present unusually sewers winter
During the present week Mr. Nichols, ae-
companied by another gentleman, whiie
hunting deer among the mountains that
form the source OF the Walla Walln river
started band Of seventeen blacktails
from dt ep canyon, and to their SUR
prise, observed yearling colt speeding
away with the band, apparently as
frightened as the deer themselves. Al
though the colt had acquired their Wild
ness hy association, he lacked the speed
lof those mountain climbers, and was
soon left far behind in the mad scramble
over the rugged hills The gentlemen,
who were well mounted, pursued and
overlook the colt, which proved to ho
Mr. Nichols perchoon,
From the fact that tracks Of the colt
following the trail OF the deer was seen
in several instances, and other evidences
| that were TO be seen, II Il believed that
| il had spent the entire winter with It's
strange companions, and prolonged itn
existence by following the guidance Ct
the excellent instinct Of the deer In
search OF food when the snow was deep.
