Talk OF Organizing a Party Ga
capture the Leader OF the Fen.
stermaker Pass Band OF wild
Horses.
Considerable curiosity has been aroused
among many people living in and around
Eureka lately, BY the description given by
E. S. McGinness and the Cobb boys, of q
coal black stallion with 9 9 pure white
name and tail. who. they say. is the leader
OF g band Of between three and four
hundred head Of wild horses that have
been ranging in the vicinity Of the Fensser-
maker Wash. or Pass. leading from Fish
Greek over into Antelope Valley, situated
about twenty-five miles southwest Of
Eureka.
Mr.. McGinness recently had some sad
die horses get away from him and while
looking for them he strayed onto the
band, OF which the stallion mentioned is
the leader. As they were coming In his
direction he hid himself and horse %
much sc possible In the cedars and awaited
their approach. The stallion passed with
in q short distance Of him, and therefore
bis description lie not from h~esrsay, or
is IL based on anything mythical. He de-
scribes the horse as weighing about HOO
pounds, and as being . pure black. ex-
cepting his long and heavy name and tail,
which is now white. The animal pre-
sented q superb appearance with his head
proudly poised. In front OF the large band
OF wild mustangs. who watched his every
move, aud seemed ready TO follow him
anywhere and do as he would command, IL
dumb brutes do have the latter power.
As Mr.. McGinness was alone Of the time
he made no attempt to capture the horse.
The Cobb boys. although they have not
been as close as Mr. McGinness to the
stallion. have seen him several times, and
their account Of his appearance tallies al.
most exactly with that given by Mr.. Mo
Ginness.
There ia talk Of organizing . party
from Eureka to try and capture the horse,
and as Mr.. McGinness guarantees TO be
able to show him to anyone within . two
days ride from Eureka, those who con-
template going out feel confident they can
capture him. County Assessor Powell
has been greatly interested in the matter;
so much 30 that be has offered 500 for
the horse IL be is captured and placed In
his corral. However, he requires that the
animal shall come up TO the description
given by Mr.. McGinness and the Cobb
boys. He must be . grand animalindeed.
and II captured and broken could not
help but prove Of value TO the pos
SCISSOR.
