places have started a subscription fund
to raise the bond and allow the Italians

CAUGHT THE CLINT OF BUCKS HORNS.
of leaving out wolf bait, for the wolves
are sources of serious loss to the
unfenced and unhoused flocks and
herds. In this instance we felt par
ticnarly revengeful because it was
but few days since We had lost a
fine yearling heifer. The tracks IN
the hillside where the carcass lay
when we found it told the story
plainly. The wolves. two in number,
had crept up close before being dis
covered and then raced down on the
astonished heifer almost before she
could get fairly started. One brace
had hadstrung her with snap of
his viselike jaws, and once down sns
was torn open in twinkling.
No sooner was the sun up than a
warm west wind began to blow in
our faces. The weather had sudd IL
ly changed. and before an hour the
snow was beginning to thaw and
leave patches of bare ground on the
hillsides. We left our coats with our
horses and struck off on foot for a
group of high buttes cut up by the
cedar canyons and gorges in which
we knew the old bucks loved to lie. 1t
was noon before we saw anything
more. We luncted a. clear spling
not needing much time, for all we
had to do was to drink draft of icy
water and munich strip of dried ven.
lson Shortly afterward. as we were
moving along hillside with silent
caution, We came to sheer cany ~
of which the opposite face was bro
ken by little lodges grown up with
wind beaten cedars. AS we peered
over the edge my companion touched
my arm and pointed silently to ons
OF the Lodges, and instantly | caugh:
the glimpse of a bucks horns as he
lay half behind an old tree trunk A
slight shift of position gave ME a
fair shot slanting down between Lis
shoulders. and. though he struggled
TO his feet. he did not go fifty yards
after receiving the bullet.
This was all We could carry. Lead
ing the horses around, we packed the
buck behind my companions saddle
and then rode back by the doe, which
| put behind mine. But we were no;
destined to reach home without q
slight adventure. When we got to the
river. we rode boldly on the ice. heed
less OF the thaw, and about midway
there was a sudden. tremendous
crash. and men. horses and deer were
scrambling together in the water
amid slabs of floating ice. However
1t was shallow. and no worse results
followed than some hard work and 8
chilly bath. But what cared We? We
were returning triumphant w.tt on,
Christmas dinner.
The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1901-12-18

One December, while | was out on
my ranch, so much work had to be
done that it was within week of
Christmas before we were able to take
any thought for the Christmas dinner.
The winter set in late that year and
there had been comparatively little
cold weather, but one day the ice on
the river had been sufficiently strong
to enable us to haul up wagon
load of flour, with enough salt pork
to last through the winter. and a
very few cans of timed goods to be
used at special feasts. We had some
bushels of potatoes, the heroic vic
tors of struggle for existence, in
which the rest of our garden veseta-
bles had succumbed to drought, frost
and grasshoppers, and we also had
some wild plums and dried elk veni-
son. But we had no fresh meat, and
so one day my foreman and | agreed
to make hunt on the morrow
Accordingly one of the cowboys
rode out in the frosty afternoon to
fetch in the saddl. band from the
plateau three miles off, where they
were grazing. 1t was necessary to
get to the hunting grounds by sun
rise, and it still lacked a couple of
hours of dawn when the foreman
wakened me with a touch as I lay
asleep beneath the buffalo robes.
Dressing hurriedly. and breakfasting
on cup Of coffee and some mouth
fuls OF bread and jerked elk meat, we
slipped out to the barn, threw the
saddles on the horses and were off.
The air was bitterly chill. The cold
had been severe for two days. so that
the river ice would again bear our
horses. 1t had already frozen once
and then again thawed. Beneath the
light covering of powdery snow we
could feel the rough ground like
wrinkled iron under the horses hoofs.
There was no moon, but the stars
shOne brilliantly down through the
cold, clear air. and our willing horses
gallOped swiftly across the long bot
tom on which the ranch house stood,
threading their way deity among the
clumps of sprawling sagebrush. A
mile off we crossed the river, the
ice cracking with noises like pistol
shots as our horses picked their way
gingerly over it. On the opposite side
was a dense jungle of burberry bush
es, and on breaking through this
we found ourselves gallOping up a
long, winding valley which led back
many miles into the hills. The cram
MES and little side ravines We're filled
with brushwOod and groves of stunt
ed ash. By this time there was a
faint flush of gray in the east, and
as we rode silently along we could
make out dmly the tracks made by
