SOME HORSE STORIES.
How Bill Hardy Escaped to Pres
colt.

Is it possible for man to confine
himself strictly to the truth when
speaking upon the feats of his horse?
1t is said the Arabian horse seller never
pretends to show off the quality of his
animals, but brings them to market
rough and shaggy; nor does he ever
condescend to dwell on their merits It
is enough, he thinks, for the purchaser
to know his animal is of pure stock,
for 1t would be decrying their good
qualities to vaunt their praises like a
common huckster. But that is only
from commercial standpoint. No
doubt the Arab sheiks speak much
about their horses, and, perhaps, I'M
Willingly tell long stories which have
a tinge OF the romance about their
grand achievements.
The Afghans are probably the most
inveterate horse liars in the world.
They have the most marvellous tales at
their tongue tips about the extraordi-
nary strength of their stout-built cobs
They boast little of their speed, for
that would be useless, as their form
would stamp the speaker as a lu-
matte; but when it comes to strength
and endurance the willy Afghan
will swear by his beard, Allah and all
the prophets that no horse lives which
can equal his animals.
"Sahib," said an elderly gentleman
TO me in praise of his stud, "thev are
strong-so strong that if one of nv
horses kicked an English horse when
6HsoV
parade his leg would go clean through
the English horse and kill the next"
Nov, come; that's too much to be-
lieve."
"Oh, yes, you say so; but you have
never seen my animals kick"
The argument was unansWerable.
cowboys IN this country are the most
awful fbbers about their horses. and
their tales of buck-jumping show them
to be men of peculiar and inventive
genius. No animal, to them, has the
slightest value unless he is possessed of
every vice which horsefesh could DOS
sibly be heir to. He must be a man
eater, bolter, bucker and so fero-
elous as to endanger the life or lives of
entire communities When gathered
around the campfire after long DAVIS
ride with cattle man could hardly be-
lieve those faithful beasts, hobbled and
calmly munching grass, were such in
carnations of deviltry. To an ordinary
Individual they showed more intelli.
gence than their riders, and certainly
knew their business better.
From the many horses Indians own
it would be thought they loved them.
but L don't believe there exists a race
more cruel to their stock than the
average Indian, They seem to have no

death to everyone in the fort unless
succor was obtained. But how to get
news to the outer world of this dread
full situation? The blessed Indians
were here, there and everywhere,
picking off men, women and children.
An Indian don't care who he shoots,
bless you.
"Well, sir, there was a buckskin
horse in camp which, if he once got
start of a yard or SO of any Indian ami
NAL, he would never be caught. It's
owner had often spoken of this animal,
and Bill Hardy, as brave man as ever
lived, said if the horse would be lent to
him he would try and make Prescott.
"Of course it was dangerous work
and there were ten chances to one he
would never get out of sight Of the
fort, and the bravest man there shud-
dered to think what would be Hardy's
fate when captured. The Indians
mutilate their prisoners most hideous-
ly and their fortunes are exquisite be-
fore they finish them up. I tell you,
gentlemen, there was greater pluck
shown by Hardy in volunteering to go
than in leading forlorn hope, where
death is speedily met by bullet or
Saber.
"The buckskin was saddled and Har-
dy made dash for the open country.
The horse knew as we'll as it's rider
what was required of him. He passed
the line of Indians before they were
we'll awake. Then when they did get
up they gave chase The desert was a
swarming mass of red devils, all
screaming and urging their horses after
Hardy. But the buckskin had the lead.
Hardy was a good rider. He rode as in
a race, and not till Prescott was
reached, one hundred and fifty miles
away, did he draw rein. Do you sup
pose the indians stopped--not bit of
it. They kept right on after him, the
bullets tearing up the mud right along
side. No wonder Beach says that no
man shall ever again ride that buck
skin"
'You bet, Beach is right not to let
any man ride that horse, but I have a
horse which went one hundred miles in
forty-eight hours dragging a heavy
wagon with whole outfit and two
heavy men weighing about two hun
dred POUNDS piece" said gentleman
from Casa Grande.
The Red Rock man leaned over to me
and whispered in my ear: '"That's the
doggondest liar in the territory" and
cheerfully began:
''Give me mule every time. I have
a mule which could have beaten that
horse"
"You have, en-" said Mr.. Carpenter.
eyes, sir; have mule which went
forty miles between water at straight
gallop in the dead heat of summer, and
what took the fastest horse four days
to do this mule could do in two days.
I know time when this mule did three
hundred and twenty miles in two days,
and the water holes were thirty-fve
miles apart Why, sir, that mule could
go fifty miles at dead run and never
touch drop of water"
my horse went the last sixty miles
without drop of water retorted the
Casa Grande man, land the two men
were about dead, with their tongues
lolling out of their mouths, but my
horse was as fresh as daisy"
The Red Rock man stared at him
with sad, wan, plying smile, as if he
were wondering why anyone would i'm
peril his soul about such trifie as that,
and relapsed into silence. Occasional

RAISED.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1O-A special from
Independence, Iowa, says: &C. w.

day notified r. Campbell, who holds a

way and Williams residence, and that
he would at once make him a deed of
the same without foreclosure. ,sd
This leaves Williams practically
short of his fortune, except that he
will still own Allerton and a number
of good colts and brood mares. The
thing that ruined Williams was his
construction last year of an electric
street "a line and of a big hotel and
opera house, his total outlay leaving
him heavily IN debt. His races lost

TRENTON, N. j, Dec. ~ -Prepara-

poor during the coming winter. A

working on special orders. 1t will
only last over the holidays, however,
and then the period of gloom will

The manufacturers of pottery have

days, agree upon a new schedule of
prices, made to conform to the depres-

represented. A general storehouse is
to be secured. The subscription books

already subscribed reaches So, 600. In
a few days it is expected to reach

chants are giving all or a part of one

A general executive committee was
announced to day. 1t consists Of Mayor
