WILD HORSES IN AMERICA.
Where They Arc Pound md How Captur-
cd by tho Indlans.

Where They Arc Pound and How Captur-
ed by tho Indians
The wild horses of the American con-
tnent once roamcd from the border of
old Mexico as far north as Lake Winni-
peg Twenty-three years ago there
were great many wandering over the
broad, grassy bottoms of the Cimmuron,
in southwestern Kansas; perhaps they
arc not all extinct yet All the wild
horses were of small stature-pony-
built in every instance-but possessing
wonderful amount of endurancc-a
tough, hardy animal, well fitted to per-
form the peculiar duties the Indian de-
manded of him. The average savage is
very hard on his animals and unless
their horses were constituted to live
on cactus and drink the green slime of
the buffalo wullows" they would have
become extinct, probably, long ago.
When caught young they are easily
broken" but il taken at an advanced
age they are perfectly incorrigible.
The usual method of capturing the
wild horse by the plains tribe was with
the lariat, in the early days made of the
hair of the buffalo or that of the tail of
the ponies. The Cheyenncs, Kiowas
and Dacotahs, improperly called Sioux,
whenever they started out on an expe-
dition to catch wild horses, always
picked the fastest animals they pos
scssed. The rider, winding his lariat
on his arm, dashcs into the herd at
dead run, and, US soon as he gets the
rope OH the neck of n wild horse, Jumps
Off his own as quick as fash, and,
running as fast as he can allows the
lar1at to slip through his hands gradu-
ally, until the animal is cholScd and
falls to tho ground for want of breath,
and lays there Il quivcring, helpless
mass. Then the Indian moves forward
very slowly, step by step, towurd the
horses head, still keeping the animal
we'll chol<cd, and proceeds to tasted u
pair of rawhidc hobbies on his forcfeet.
Then he lets up on the lariat, so that
the animal can catch his breath, and
then takes turn witt. the luriat around
the jaw, like II bit, which gives him
wonderful power over tho frightened
horse, which pitches and plunges, snorts
and tumbles around until he is nearly
exhausted. Then the Indian, by carr
full management, gets his hand on the
horses nose, pats him little, and is
soon able to mount him, and no is

"crcnscd" tho animal custom taught
the Indians by the old trappers. sus-
pect. ''Crcasing" was simply sending n
ball through the tough mass of gristlo
of the neck, which, by stunning the
brain for few moments. caused the
animal to fall rs if dead, every limb
stretched out and quivcring; this lasts
long enough for them to be secured,
when they rise as if nothing had hap
pcncd to them.
The white man used to adopt entirely
different tactics in capturing the wild
horses on the Cimnrron, Kansas. They
simply wore them out by never letting
them stop to eat or drink, and by keep
ing up that plan the animal was easily
