however, the succeeding generations are

and long-settled countries is. of course,
much more wary and able to take care

more than the actual killing of the
wilderness game, which tests the ability

4 REMARKABLE FEAT.
How Abernethy, the Famous Wolf Hunt
er, Captures Wolves Alive With His
Hnuds

CTheodore Roosevelt, in the November
Scribner's)
In a couple of miles I was close
enough to see what was going on. But
one greyhound was left with Abernethy.
The coyote was obviously tired, and
Abernethy, with the aid of his per-
fectly-trained horse was helping the
it, and this enabled me to gain rapidly.
They had reached small unwooded
creek by the time / was within so yards;
the little wolf tried to break back to
the left; Abernethy headed 1t and rode
almost over it; and it gave a wicked
snap at his foot, cutting the boot. Then
he wheeled and came toward it; again
it galloped hack and just as it crossed
the creek the greyhound made a rush,
pinned it by the hind leg and threw it.
There was q scuff1e, then a yell from
the greyhound as the wolf bit it. At
the bite the hound let go and jumped
back q few feet, and at the same mo-
ment Abernethy, who had ridden his
horse right OH them as they struggled,
leaped off and sprang on top of the
wolf. He held the reins of the horse
with one hand and thrust the other,
with a rapidity and precision even
greater than the rapidity of the VOLTS
snap, into the VOLTS mouth. tanning
his hand down crOsswise between the
jaws. Selling the lower jaw and bend
ing it down 50 that the wolf could not
bite him. He had stout glove on his
hand, but this would have been of no
avail whatever had he not seized the
animal just as he did: that is, behind
the CANNES. while his hand pressed the
lips against the teeth; with his knees
he kept the wolf from using it's fore
paws to break the hold. until it gave up
struggling. When he thus leaped on

was not 90 yards distant at the time,
and as i leaped off the horse he was
sitting placidly on the live wolf, his
hand between it's jaws, the greyhound
standing beside him, and his horse
standing by as placid as he was. In a
couple of minutes Fortescue and Lam
bert came up. 1t was as remarkable
feat of the kind as have ever seen.

MAYOR SAYS: GO EASY"
Declares that the Present Water
Is Good Although a
Little Hard.

At the meeting of the water board
last night letter was received from
Mayor Brace making some sugges-
tions to the members of the board
in regard to the drilling of the
ground storage wells which the board
proposes to drill at Runyon. When
the clerk commenced to read the let
ter Commissioner Thomas Clark
moved that the reading be dispensed
with and il was carried. 1t appeared
as ii the board sdid not want the
mayors recommendation made pub
lie.
In conversation with a NEWS re-
porter today Mayor Brace said that
in the letter to the board he made
the suggestion that it would be ad-
visable to drill only few wells at
present time and try them for about
six months to see is they would prove
all right. He said he opposed going
ahead and spending considerable
money on something that they did
not really know anything about.
Now Have Two Wells.
At present there are two storage
wells at Runyon and the mayor sug-
gested that two more be drilled and
then tried for some time. He did not
think it wise idea to spend thous-
ands of dollars and then have the
thing prove failure.
Water Is Good Now.
In speaking about the present sys-
tenn, the mayor said the water was
pure and good, that it was a little
hard for laundry purposes, but other
wise all right. He said no doubt the
ground storage idea was a good one,
but whether it would prove a sue
cess of failure was yet to be deter
mined, for no one could tell how long
the water will last.
