Tombstone daily prospector., 1891-02-03

 the creature was . match for lion or tiger and we began to feel very uneasy. By tho sdvice of the head man we built several extrs fires and kept . sharp lookout
 ''The fellow is evidently very angry ex P aimed the old man You are white men and he is not pleased at your coming Per Laps he has been told you are here to capture him-r
 But who could have told himr'
 "He bad a cousin who was turned into . vulture for striking bis father, and anothe, cousin who was turned into 6 serpent foJ cursing our faith Either one may have car ried the man wolf the news"
 We placed sentinels on the wath when ready to turn in, but everything passed o6 quietly until about midnight Then a sue cesSion of shrieks and screams and roan brought every man, woman and child out of ilesp with bound l had no other thought than that the man wolf had seiEed one of the sentinsls, but us leaped out of the hut one called to me:
 'Sahib, you have caught the beast in your trap"
 It was a mile, as I have told you, from the village 10 the spot where we had set the trap, and yet the screams seemed closs at hand When the news went round that there WAS no danger the village soo-. quieted down, but there was no further sIeep for any one Whether caught or not. the creature seemed fastened to one locality for the remainder of the night, and of ali the proceedings ever knew wild beast to engage in his were the worst He had a voice as strong as a lions, and be was not quiet for two minutes at Q tine. He roared, screamed shrieked, Ia, mented and growled. and the wind brought us every sound, He still had full head of steam on when daylight came, and after e hasty breakfast party of twenty of Us moved in his direction He probably heard us coming, for his anger was freshly eroused, and pretty soon We could hear him tearing at the bushes
 am free to say that the first sight of the man wolf, caught by the hind foo. in the trap, and hanging head downward from the swaying sap!ing, took the courage ou: of ule sooner than as if l had met a tiger face to face on the path He hung about three feet from the earth, and ss far as he could reach in every direction he had pulled up the bushes by the rUots He was as supple as e monkey, and could double himself up and reach the trap, but. strong as he was be could not spring the jaws open and release his foot. There weS foot of chain before
 
 on that chain made Us hold our breaths Had it been of soft iron have no doubt be would have cut it in two. He had been caught when We first heard him scream out and Esd been suspended for over four hours You would have thought be would be exhausted with pain and struggling, but he was not. As soon as we came near him be made such tremendous effort to get away, or to get c, ds, that all the natives fed in terro- We quickly understood that We could dc nothing wIth the beast until be had lost hii arength and temper, and we returned to th< village and left him banging. All that day Ae yelled out every two or three minutes and all that night We heard from him at in ;ervaiss On the second morning he was stii agly, but late in tue afternoon hunger ana pam m stereG him. We brought up e cage got three or four ropes around him, and fn ally made him a prisoner. His foot and lss were terribly swollen, and be made but htsl. resistance.
 We now had opportunity to look him over { He was certainly 0 man wolf-that is, a ns : ti,e child had been carried of when younc and brought up with the wild beasts fcl ! twenty years or more. This creature had ! human face and form, but the body was GOV : cred with coarse haIr, the teeth were long : tho Eands out of sbape, and he had learned tt 1 go as q four footed animal He was indeeS c horrible looking sight. but the worst fea ture about him was his eyes. No true wilC |! beast ever SAW through a more ugly pair [ There WAS a villaInous squint to them ans | the balls seemed tO be ahame. We were con ! graduating ourselves on bis easy captur when the head man replied:
 Wait n bit Wait until his strength re turns You will never get him away iron ! haTsn
 We drew thecage to the village and Eav the beast food and water. He readily s1 | ceptsd both, and his conduct was as humbl ' as we could desire. He was biding bis tune | however. On the third day he minutely e1 anined the construction of the cags ana tested every bar. He did this when b I thought be was unobserved. On the fifth da, be began to snarl and grCwl and show hi ] tenper, ai.d on the sixth we started o5 wit: him, the cage being dragged by twelve ns lives Everything went well up to noon when we stopped for q rest and 6 bite to eat As all were sitting down the man wolf sud denly spran- out of a corner where be ha, been sulking, seized bar in either hand, an. ! with tremendous effort urencaed them olit l One be retained for a weapon us be lea2ed L inc earth It was so sudden that no one Wa prepared He did rot seek escape, but rs vense. and before we could pick up our gui. and open fire he had Killed three os the IT. iiyes and severely wounded two others 4. wcs still laying about him screaming VII ] rage when one of the white men gave L. m cuarge of baesshot and ended his career. had struck only single bloss, and yes es.- one had been hard enough to cripp., 0, sI | Int for OFT cups be would have ciuef s-aa man ia the Party.-New orx eun-
