Long before the old man and the
child were found, other fishermen had
launched their boats and had pulled out
on the bay.
Some went to the fshtraps and 9TH
ers made straight across to the wreck.
But old seadog had prepared to go
aboard the stranded vessel and to hold
II against all comers until he should
carry out his plans. Firearms had
been secreted in his small boat before
leaving shore and these were trans
TERED to the wreck.
One OF the boys was left on guard
while the old man leading the others
went on q searching tour of the ship,
They soon found that the vessel pos

cisco, and hal come to the Columbia
for return consignment.
But it was not wealth Of the kind
that the world considers valuable that
old Seadog was looking for, it was that
which would remove all cloud from the
title to his own wealth.
It was while thus engaged in ran
sacking the unfortunate vessel that the
advance guard Of the fishermen arrived
in their small boats. Old seadog was

"Well, we will report you to the

they left the place, some returning to
the village and others pulling for their
traps further up the bay.

Dug into q VOLTS Den.


An Oklahoman named Lawson had
an unpleasant experience while visiting
his brother-in-law, Milo Blodgett, who
lives near Adobe Walls in the Texas
panhandle. Lawson went wolf-hunt-
ing alone. Next day his horse was
found saddled, but without a bride.
Blodgett summoned about thirty neigh
bors and began searching for Lawson,
who was located after nearly days
hunt His feet were sticking from the
top of wolf den and about three feet
of dirt rested on his body. Lawson
was 80 fastened that he could not ex-
tricate himself.
He had dug down in the wolf den
about five feet on a slant In a manner
something like the entrance to dug
out, then lay down In his trench to
reach In after some coyote pups. He
caught one and threw 1t out and 1t Is
supposed that this frightened his horse,
which was tied to bunch Of bear
grass near the hole The horse, making
lunge, caused the banks to cave, the
dirt falling on the prostrate body of
the man, covering his body and head
The dirt caught him with his arms
stretched out in front SO he could not
use them to much advantage, but he
managed to work his hands and shove
the dirt down the hole until his head
was uncovered and he could get air
from the top. He lay In this position

MUSTANGS ARE DYING OUT.
Hardy Western Ponies Are No Longer
Numerous ON the Frontier.

Hardy Western Ponies Are No Longer
Numerous on the Frontier.
Everyone who has lived on the from.
tier, especially in the southwest, will
feel a pang of regret at the announce
ment that the little mustang, or
broncho, is slowly but surely passing
away. They were popular with the
Western pioneers because they were
hardy, easily kept and cheap. Texas
once had scarcely any other horses
except mustangs and Choctaw ponies,
but that pioneer age has passed.
Since the organization of the Texas
State Fair the horses, in common with
all other live stock In Texas, have
greatly improved. The fair itself mas
been the principal factor and in
centive to the improvement Of Texas
horses. In the earlier years of the as
ISOLATION the heavier breeds were
largely exhibited there.
Then the heavy draft horses Of the
Clydesdale, Norman and Percheron
types were seen in large numbers. OF
late years, however, the tendency
seems to be toward the lighter breeds
mostly, such as Cleveland bays aud
American trotter. The ast-named
breed is particularly in favor in Texas
Just now.
1t seems that the drain made upon
our country for horses by the Spanish
American war and the war in the
Transvaal Eas caused dearth Of de-
sirable animals, The demand for
family horses" Is unusually good and
the energy of breeders seems to be
now especially directed to high-bred
American trotters. 1t seems that this
class of horses Is paying the breeder
much better at present than any other.
The large-sized trotter Is eliciting
much interest from the farmers as
well as from the town people. Many
farmers are buying them for breeding
purposes, seeing good money in this
highly popular class of horses.
The sales Of these animals are by
no means confined to Texas buyers
either. They are being purchased by
horse fanciers in many parts of the
Union for abroad as we'll as at home,
Many good sales Of saddle and har-
ness animals are being made daily at
the fair.

men ashore saw the stranded vessel
standing with nose in the sand while
the victorious waves were pounding
her at rate that must soon break her
to pieces.
But TO render aid to those aboard the
sinking ship was impossible. No
earthly craft could live in such a
sea. Slowly and sadly the toilers OF
the Colubmia wended their way to their
homes in the village where they told
the story Of the wreck.

"Well, told you that 1t was q

the man who had pronounced the cry
as coming from a wharf rat.

remarked one Of the fishermen.
"Yes, but he is Of little use now, he

"Not much, see, he opens his eyesl"
shouted one OF them joyfully.
A sad picture. yet one that gave
pleasure to the fishermen, presented
itself. A short, stout old man, with
gray hair and whiskers, lay lashed to

probably three score and ten. The

could not move. Had this not been
