MOUNTAIN RAM AND PUMA.
A Furious Battle Which n California
Hunter Witnessed,


Hunter Witnessed.
Lovers of sport with a spice of dan
ger will find plenty of it to suit them
in the interior of Lower California,
where great stretches of heavily tim
bcred land have yet to receive their
visit from u white man. Col. William
Denton. the well-known mining man
and surveyor, was the undesigning wit
ness of a savage and exciting contest
while on his prospecting trip north OF
Calamojue some weeks ago, the partic-
ulars of which he related to a San
Diego Union man. Attracted by q furi.
Gus noise in the brush and the evident
uneasiness of his animals he tied them
securely and went forward to recon.
noitcr, unlimbering his gun for use il
necessary. The sight that presented
itself was certainly worth witnessing.
as n battle royal between two magnifi,

lion had attacked a mountain sheep,
and was finding its claws full in trying
to let go. The sheep was of formid.
able size. and he used his monstrous
horns with astonishing rapidity, back.
ing of, stamping his feet with a quick
jerk, and propelling himself at his foe
like sure-enough battering ram.
The great yellow puma, agile and
watchful, lcaped aside or into the air
to escape the onslaught of the tartar
he had caught, and with lightning
like spring he would aim to clutch the
ram behind the horns. But not once
did the interested observer see the ram
caught unawares. The heavy horns
were swung quickly on the pivot of his
sinewy neck, and received the clawing
of the eat with no effect whatever.
Col. Denton watched the sport with
all the zest of sportsman, and, on in
dications that tho belligercnts were
becoming mutually disguised and
about to separate and disappear, he
embraced a moment when the ram
stood stamping his fore feet preparing
to dart forward, and gave him q bullet
bchind the shoulder. The ram leaped
upward and forward, game to the last
and tumbled forward on his horns
Col. Denton then turned to pay his
respects to the lion, but as the brute
had already received moro than it bad
bargaincd for, it was out of sight. -

RlLLY's JOKE.
The St~-r OF Mountain Goat Who d Of
Humorous Turn sf Mind.

The St--T OF y MountaIn Goat Who d Oh
Numerous Turn Of Mind.
A mountain goat that once kept in
confinement was about us cunning as
the average street urab, and, had he
lived to maturity and kept on acquirs
ing knowledge, the chances are would
have had to move out and give him the
ranch.
He usually followed nc, says
writer in Forest and Stream, on short
excursions into the woods, and gen
orally kept right at my heels; but on
one occasion he Jagged behind, and,
although I called him several times,
he paid 70 heed. l finally walked back
to see what he was interested in and
found him busy feeding on some moss
that grew at the roots of a fir tree
so left him and continued my tramp
But after I had got away n short dis
lance the thought occurred to me to
hide and see how he would act; SO
slipped into a hollow stump close by
the trail and awaited the result Pres.
emily l heard him coming bounding
along the trail, and after he had
passed | stuck ont my head to watch
him. When he got twenty feet beyond
me he stopped AID commenced looking
around, and the comical expression of
his face us he scanned every object
that bore any senblance to a human
being caused me to burst out laughing,
when he turned and saw me. Then he
commenced to sulk and would not go
any further, so had to go home.
The next day he followed me as
usual. but in the midst of some thick
brush and down timber got interested
in bird that | was following up, and
forgot the goat, and when l came to
look for him he was gone. Walking back
to where last saw him called, but
no BILLY" came in sight. Then com,

ly caught sight of something white
beneath a brush heap. STOPPING down
and looking in, saw the little brute
curled up in n heap, and not n move
could get out of him. Reaching in, ]
caught him by the leg and pulled him
out, and gave him a good cutting or
both sides of his head. But he did
not mind 1t n bit, and seemed to enjoy
the joke immensely, capering about il
his usual manner all the way home. as

PRAIRIE CHICKENS.
The Birds Have = Dance Very Much en-
the kndian Order.


At this season of the year North
American birds are busily engaged at
love making, preparatory to mating
and nest building. In an article on
the Lives and Loves of North Amer
lean Birds" in the Nineteenth Century,
John Worth gives the following de-
scription of the preliminary courtship
of the prairie chickens" After the
disappearance of the snow" he says,
and the coming of warmer weather,
the prairie chickens (sharp-tailed
grouse) meet every morning at gray
dawn, in companies from six to TWEEN
ty, on some selected hillock or knoll,
and indulge in the dance At first
the birds stand about in ordinary atti-
tudes, resembling people at ball be-
fore the music begins, when suddenly
one of the cocks lowers his head,
spreads out his wings nearly horizontal
ly and his tail perpendicularly distends
| his air sacS and srects his feathers,
then PUSHES across the floor taking
| the shortest of steps, but stamping his
feet SO hard and SO rapidly that the
sound is like that of the kettle drum;
at the same time he utterS a sort of
bubbliRg crow, which seems to come
from his air sacs, beats the air with his
| wings, and vihrotes his tail 30 that he
produces loud. rustling noise, and
| thus becomes a really astonishing
spectacle. Soon after one commences
AL the cocks join In, rafting, stamp
| ing, drumming, Growing and dancing
together furiously; louder and louder
the noise, faster and faster the dance
becomes, until at last they madly whirl
about, leaping over each other In ex-
element. After brief spell the en-
ergy of the dancers begins to abate,
and shortly aftcrward they cease. and
stand or move aboat very quietly, until
they are again started by one of their
numbcr leading off, as human dancers
are observed to do during the intervals
of rest between their performances.

HEALTH FROM A TREE.


SiaoulN, New Cascdoni.s Grow tin. Which
Il Valuable n "a Disiufcctant.
For some time past much has been
said about a tree called niaouly. 1t
grows in New Caledonia and furnishes
to perfume maker, n valuable oil. Ac.
cording to the St Louis Post-Dispatch
the leaves of this tree preserve meat
from spelling. exercise over the coun-
try the same wholesome influence as
the eucalyptus and furnish q pleasant
aromatic adjunct to sauces. The es-
sence is employed incidentally for hlad.
der troubles and rheumatic ailments
with even more success than the there
benthin. In Caledonia the niaouly en-
joys the reputation of rendering
healthy every territory In which it is
introduced. This is undoubtedly true,
for in all parts of New Caledonia, where
this tree is at home, the fever is not
known at all. The New Hebrides, not
far from New Caledonia, are also in
possession of this health preserving
mascot. The antiseptic properties of
the oily essence of the niaouly, abun-
dainty contained in the leaves, are
very great, and wherever they happen
to fall into the swamps, morasses, or
rivulets they disinfect the water COM
pletelS. Like the eucalyptus, the
niaouly needs plenty of sunshine. The
seeds, which are very fine. must be
carefully sown and covered with about
an inch of earth. 1t is best to do this
in the months of May, June and July.
By December they will have advanced
enough to be planted in the place
where they are destined to grow. The
tree is easily aeclimatizcd, and in the
warmer countries can be made as much
1t home as ON its native Soil.

The Bismarck Tribune, as a test
rf public sentiment, wishes it tenn
sporaries to state why they are in
faSor of the reelection of Senator
Casey or why they are not in favor
of his reelection. The COURIER is
IN favor Of his election first-be-
cause he represents being practi-
cal farmer-us in every public senti-
ment that pertains to the interests Of
the west, and also being a shrewd
business man, he is well qualified to
rasp the ideas contained in any
public measure that comes before
the senate. Secondly-he represents
t6e highest type Of craftsmanship
md commands the respect and at
tsatiOn Of his colleagues. His digni-
4ed cool Judgment on measures of
npertance are sure to secure for
0dr nate the best representation.
~ afe two reasons Why We favor
= ge-electon Of Mr.. Casey.

The senatorial problem for North
Dakota does not seem to have
simplitied itself since or last issue, in
fact more candidates have declared
themselves and 1t is everybody's
fight at present, although it is con
ceded that Senator Casey will de-
velop the most strength on the first
ballot, with Walter Muir chasing
him up close. 1t is going to be a
hard fight and probably long fight,
and whatever other foolish acts the
legislature may do, we hope that it
will send man as senator to Wash
ington who will be credit to the
state. Mr.. Casey in our opinion, is
about the best man in the field and
should he given another term. He
has held himself aloof from any pol
itical combination and has attended
to the duties of his high Office faith
fully and conscientiously and with
becoming dignity. Two thirds Of
the candidates already announced
are no more fit to be senator than a
government mule and our Legislature
should look at PERSONS ability be-
fore they throw any votes away
The razzle-d dazzle for senatorshiI
will commence next Tuesday.

After the last bit OF smoke from the
late political guns is cleared away, Dad
actually dares stick his head out and
look around to see if there is any more
dangerous looking Phenomena IN the
political aerial region, and finding
things safe, he ventures out to look over
the battle ground to see what he could
find, and-oh horror-what a sight.
Why republicans lay scattered broad
cast, right and left. and yonder over
the hills to the White House thropg of
victorious democrats and independents
are making stampede for the Goddess
of Liberty, while the defeated, who re.
main to mourn the loss of their strong
hold, is making scramble for the
woods or West Superior. Well Dad

nerves have become little more set
tied, he will try to review few Incl
dents and tradegies that occurred since
his absence from the Courier.

though the cause of the fire is unknown

usual, and that Hillarson has bought
more land and that our community was
sadly marred with murder which we all
know. This news are only incidents of
trifies when we compare them with the
following startling news of what hap
pened to three of our rustling, hard
