Wonderful Indian Runners.

Nevertheless they show even then a re-
markable endurance. An Indian has been
known TO carry letter from Guazapares TO
Chihuahua and back again in five days, the
distance being nearly 500 miles. In some
parts where the Tarahumaris serve the Mex
leans they are used 10 run in the wild
horses, driving them into the corral; it may
take them two or three days to do it, sleep
at night and living on little pinole. They
bring in the horses thoroughly exhausted,
while they themselves are still fresh. They
will outrun any horse if you give them time
enough. They viii pursue deer in the snow,
or with dogs, IN the rain, for days and days,
until at last the animal is cornered and shot
with arrows, or falls an easy prey from sheer
exhaustion, its hoofs dropping Of.

A CLOSE CALL.
The Mountain Lion is a Very Vicious An
tagonist.


IS3 Louis Globe Democrat
"There are no more vicious fighters in the
whole apimal kingdom than the mountain
lions of the Northwest" said Major Jackson,
Of Spokane. They combine the cunning
and agility Of the cat tribe with the strength
of the lion and the ferocity of the tiger.
have never been much Of q hunter, but
a few years ago | had an adventure with
mountain lions out in Washington that gave
me enough of hunting big game for all time.
had captured some young deer elk, and
foxes and started small menagerie on my
ranch.
zone day was out in the hills ing at
some timber, and near the mouth of q small
cave in the rocks | found q young lion
crawling about on the ground and whining
like a kitten. 1t was only few weeks old,
and | decided to take it home and add it to
my menagerie. / judged that there was a
nest of the young animals somewhere among
the rocks, and that this one had ventured
out and got lost while the old ones were
away.
81 bad no trouble in catching it, and be
was too young TO show fight. But as soon
as took it up In my arms it set up dread
ful screeching cry, sort of cross between
the wall of frightened baby and the bark
of a small dog Fearing that the cries would
bring the old lions home in hurry, lost
no time in getting away from the spot where
/ found my captive. l took off my coat,
and, wrapping up the cub, tried to stop its
cries, but 1t was no use it only made more
noise.
Before had gone 100 yards heard the
blood-curdling shrek of full-grown lion
close behind me- and knew that the mother
of the cub was on my trail. Her cry must
have been call for help. In 10 seconds it
was answered as many times, and the cries
came from all directions.
was surrounded by mountain lions, and
knew that the cry of the cub would rouse
them to fury. hated to lose the expected
addition to my menagerie, but dropped that
lion cub as if it had been hot brick. In
stead of running away as l thought it would,
the cub lay down right under my feet and
made more noise than ever.
The National tribune., 1894-09-06

The apparent hopelessness of my situa-
tion seemed to steady my nerves, and taking
careful aim at the nearest lion fired. With
a new kind of screech the brute leaped five
feet into the air and fell back dead. But
there was another one on the ground almost
as near as the first and still advancing.
A second shot finished that one, and then
/ glanced at those in the trees. i saw two
glaring down at me with their eyes cleaning
like balls of fire. Both were crouehing for
a spring / shot the nearest one, and again
my bullet reached vital spot.
Before could throw out the empty shell
/ heard terrible shrek dying away to a
hoarse growl right over my head, and then
l knew that one of the animals was on the
rock above me.
. For an instant I forgot the one in the
tree and jumped away from the rock. At
the same instant both lions jumped for me,
one from the tree and one from the rock
above me. l saw them coming and tried to
dodge to one side. l wheeled about and es-
capped the full force of their spring. Both Of
them struck me on the shoulders with their
fore feet as they came down, and their long
sharp claws tore great furrows in my flesh
and left my coat and shirt hanging in shreds.

"The blood spurted from my wounds and

blows. l closed my eyes as fell, face down.
ward, and expected to be torn to shreds in
an instant, but to my surprise the animals
did not follow up the attack, and as l strug-
gled to my feet their hoarse growing and
the sounds of terrific struggle told me that
they were fighting each other.
They had got the smell of blood, and
missing their victim at the first spring the
fierce brutes flew at each others throats. /
turned in time to see the most ferocious COM
bat l had ever witnessed, and in the excite
ment of the moment forgot my wounds.
The other lions | had seen in the trees
were probably frightened away by the shots
| had fired. Anyway, they were gone, and
the two that had tried to make a meal of me
were left to fight their battle to the death
without interruption.
81 picked up my rifle and again took
position against the rock, but the fighting
lions were no longer aware of my presence.
They rolled over and over so fast that they
looked like two great yellow balls, changing
to red as the blood began to flow in streams
from the gaping wounds they were tearing
in each others bodies with teeth and claws.
The National tribune., 1894-09-06

"The fight must have lasted all of three
minutes and then the larger of the two ami
mails got his teeth securely fastened in the
throat of the other. In few moments he
was drinking the life blood of his yanquished
antagonist, and then, as he crouched by the
body with eyes closed, l raised my rifle and
shot the victor dead.
81 bound up my wounds az well as l could
and managed TO reach home, but was very
weak from loss of blood and it was more than
a month before recovered from the scratch
