One day while the late Senator Hearst
was a young man and yet had his fort
une to make he and few companions
were on a prospecting tour. Along IN
the afternoon they sighted band Of In
dams, and, as in those days all Indians
were hostile, Mr.. Hearst and his friends
naturally wanted to get away from there.
All the prospectors, except the future
senator. were mounted on horses. He
was on retired army mule, and soon
found himself left IL the rear. The In
dams were on his trail and things began
to look serious, when he called out to
his rapidly disappearing companions:
Hold on, boys; there's only few of
them. We needn't be afraid"
Just then the mule scented the ap-
preaching Indians, and with wild snort
started out at gait that soon left the
horsemen far behind. When Hearst was
about quarter of mile in advance he
turned in his saddle and yelled at the
top of his voice:
Hurry up, boys; you'll get scalped.
There's more'n hundred OF them. =
