up a bowling and barking in mockery of
the intrepid hunter and disturbing his
repose. The first faint streak Of dawn
was the signal for the disappearance of
the wary varmints and the sun rose over
a silent coyoteless plain. Day after day
the hunter watched and waited but not
wolf nor coyote came up to be killed al
| though they must have known that they
were wanted five dollars worth. The
s~elfshness and ingratitude of a coyote is
equal to that of a s~oulless corporation.
The danger and hardships undergone
by the wolfer are many and great.
| While peering down a badger hole to
hear the welcome squeak Of a baby
wolf a rattlesnake is liable to pierce his
listening ear. To insure against this
danger a large supply of alcoholic stimu-
lants EshoulG be carried along. This
should be taken freely, as IN ounce of
prevent is better than a pound of cure.
While treading along the face OF some
percipitous bluff a rolling stone may
cause him to be thrown violently or the
rocks hundreds OF feet below. His
brains will not be knocked, for if he had
any he would not be out Wolting. Then
these animals are said to be dangerous
while hungry and travelling in packs,
hence the weary wolfer dare notlie down
for a snooze un~garded, lest the savage
animals may. come up and bite him.
They, in all probability, will have it in
for him any how. A bottle of strychnine
should be, taken along to poison the
grubline riders, otherwise the grubstake
may not4ast and Carl Harris may de-
muir when asked to put up another.
The Rounder has a scheme that will
knock wolfing into a cooked hat and
make the bounty fund look like a
counterfeit quarter in the Klondike.
With a location close to a sheep ranch
and a few acres of Wove wire fencing he
will start a wolf ranch and with a few
healthy wolves as a starter he will soon
have fabulous dividends on the invest
ment. He will form a joint stock COM
! pany with himself as president and
! treasurer and the favored few who will
be allowed to invest mag be'on the look

THE FOUNDER.

The. Ronnder is discouraged. He went
out this spring On the lone prairie, far
from the haunts of man, to make his
fortune. Early in the morning he took
his station on the summit of alofty butte
and gazed over the surrounding country
ill tears blinded his sight. He patiently
wiped them away and looked again. The
hot ard glaring noontide found him at
his post, but mayhap sound asleep. At
dewey eve he wandered back to his tent
to forget his di disappointment in slumber.

Small Soy sns . Torpedo.

Charlie Corbin, an eight year old
boy, met with an accident in this
city last Tuesday by the explosion
Of a railroad torpedo. He was
passing through town with his
mother and family consisting Of
Ave small children. They were
on their way 20 Denver by the
overland route aud claimed to hail
from independence, Mo. While
here the youngster picked up a
railroad torpedo somewhere, but
would not say where he found il.
He smashed the torpedo with a
rock, and the result was an ex.
plosion that startled everybo dy
within block. One OF the young
ster's wrists was badly lacerated,
cutting the veins and tendons, the
radial artery having narrow es-
cape, but no permanent injury
will result. DR.. Ragsdale attend
ed him, and the family resumed
their journey in the afternoon.
