story of Kit Carson.

Kit Carson's rife, which was carried by
him for more than 40 years, and which
never failed him, is now precious relic in
the possession of the Montezuma Lodge of
Masons at Santa Fe, of which he was
member.
AS an Indian fighter Carson was match
less, and no one understood better than
he the habits and the nature of the savage.
He told Col. Inman of Kansas that he was
never deceived but once by Indian tactics.
He said that he was hunting with six
others after buffalo in the summer of 1885;
that they had been successful and came in
to their little bivouae one night very tired,
intending to start for the rendezvous at
Bent's Fort the next morning. They had
number of dogs, among them some ex-
cellent animals. These barked good deal
and seemed restless and the men heard
wolves.
81 saw" said Kit, "two big wolves
sneaking about, one of them quite close
to us. Gordon, one of my men, wanted
to fire his rifle at it, but l did not let him,
for fear he would hit dog. admit that
! had sort of idea that those wolves
might be Indians, but when / noticed one
of them turn short around and heard the
clashing of his teeth as he rushed at one
of the dogs l felt easy then and was GER
tain that they were wolves sure enough
But the red devil fooled me after all, for
he had two dried buffalo bones in his
hands under the wolfskin, and he ratified
them together every time he turned to
make a dash at the dogs. Well, by and
by we all dozed off, and it was not long
before l was suddenly aroused by noise
and big blaze. / rushed out the first
! thing for our mules and held them II the
savages had been at all smart they could
have killed us in a trice, but they ran as
soon as they fired on us. They killed one
of my men, putting five bullets in his body
and eight in his buffalo robe. The Indi-
ans were band of Sioux on the war trail
after band of Snakes, and found us by
sheer accident They endeavored to am
bush us the next morning, but we got
wind of their little game and killed three
of them, including the chief."-[W. E.
Curtis.
