- is rather surprising, for
they seem to be fairly prolific tal-
though not as much so as deer and
antelope). and comparatively few are
killed by the hunters.
In size the big-horn comes next to
buffalo and elk, averaging larger than
the ~black-tail deer, while an old ram
will sometimes be almost as heavy as
a small COW elk. In his movements
he is not light and graceful like the
prong horn and other antelopes, his
marvellous agility seeming rather to
proceed from sturdy strength and won
derful command over iron sinews and
muscles. The huge horns are carried
proudly erect by the massive neck
every motion of the body is made with
perfect poise; and there seems to be
no ground SO difficult that the big-horn
cannot cross 1t. There is probably no
animal In the world his superior in
climbing; and his only equals are the
other species of mountain sheep and
the ibexes. No matter how sheer the
cliff, II there are ever so tiny cracks
or breaks in the surface, the big-horn
will bound up or down it with wonder
full ease and seeming absence of eff
fart. The perpendicular bounds 1t can
make are truly startling-in strong con-
trast with its distant relative the
prong-horn which can leap almost any
level jump, but seems unable to clear
the smallest height. In descending a

Jeng jumps. bounding off the surface
almost like a rubber ball every time
he strikes it. The way that one will
vanish over the toughest and most
broken ground is a perpetual surprise
to any one that has hunted them; and
the ewes are quite as skilful as the
rams. while even the very young lambs
seem almost as well able to climb, and
certainly follow wherever their elders
lead.
To him the barren wastes of the Bad
Lands offer a most attractive home;
let to other living creatures they are
at all times as grimly desolate and for
bidding as any spot on earth can be;
ut all seasons they seem hostile to
every form of life.
Occasionally the big-horn come down
into the valleys or along the grassy
slopes to feed, but this is not often,
and In such cases every member of
the band is always keeping the sharp.
est lookout, and at the slightest alarm
they beat a retreat to their broken
Businesses. At nighttime or in the
early morning they come down to
drink at the small pools or springs. but
move Off the instant they have salts
fed their thirst. AS a rule, they spend
their time among the rocks n rough
ground, and ii is in these places that
they must be hunted. In color they
harmonic curiously with the grayish
or yellowish brown of the ground on
which they are found, and 1t is often
very difficult to make them out when

Time and again they will be mistaken

When lying down the big-horn can

trait makes 1t needsul for the hunter

~ JObtFe| sS"N ~
as l expected, we found him lying on
his side a couple of hundred yards be-
yond the ridge, his eyes already glazed
in death. The bullet had gone in be
hind the shoulder and ranged clean
through his body crosswise, going a
little forward; no animal less tough
than a mountain ram could have gone
any distance at all with such a wound.
He had most obligingly run round to
a part of the hill where we could bring
up one of the horses without YER
much difficulty. Accordingly | brought
up old Manitou, who car carry any
thing and has no fear. and the big
horn was Don strapped across his
back. 1t was a fine ram, with perfect
ly-shaped but not very large horns.
The other ram, two years old. with
small horns, had bounded over the
ridge before | could get a shot at him;
we followed his trail for half a mile.
and We were anxious to get home we
then gave up the pursuit.
1t was still early in the day, and we
made up our minds to push back for
the home ranch, as we did not wish
to be caught ont in a long storm. The
lowering sky was already overcast by
a mass of leaden-gray clouds; and it
was evident that we had no time to
lose. In a little over an hour we were
back at the log camp. where the ram
was shifted from Manitou's back to
the blackboard. A very few minutes
sufficed to pack up our bedding and
provisions. and we started home. Mer-
rifield and | rode on ahead, not spar
ing the horses; but before we got home
the storm had burst, and a furious
blizzard blew in III teeth as we gal
loped along the last mile of the river
bottom, before coming to the home
ranch house; and as we warmed our
stiffened limbs before the log fire. |
congratulated myself upon the success.
full outcome of what | knew would be
the last hunting trip should take dur
ing that season.
The death of this ram was accom-
plished without calling for any vera
good shooting on our part. He was
standing still. less than a hundred
yards off, when the shot was fired; and
we came across him so close merely by
accident. Still. we fairly deserved u
luck, for we had hunted with the most
patient and painstasing care from
dawn till nightfall for the better part
of three days. spending most of the
time in climbing at a smart rate OF
speed up sheer cliffs and over rough
and slippery ground. Still-hunting the
big-horn is always a toilsome and labo
rious task, and the very bitter weather
during which we had been out had not
lessened the difficulty of the work
though in the cold it was much less ex
hausting than it would have been t.

Mountain mutton is in the fall the
most delicious eating furnished by any
game animal. Nothing else compares
with it for juiciness. tenderness, and

year it is tough. stringy. and worthless

WILL DISCUSS WAGE CUT.
Southern Railway Officials and Ma
chinisfs Confer To-day.

Representatives of the machinists en-
ployed on the Southern Railway will
meet the officials OF the company in the
offices of c. II. Ackert. vice president
and general manager, this morning 10
confer upon the proposed reduction Of
the wages Of the employees OF the COM
pany. Tomorrow the representative of
all the other mechanical branches of the
road will have conference with the Off
cials.
Just what the outcome Of this new
move on the part Of the railroad COM
pany viii be. is impossible TO forecast
The company officials claim that the gem
eral business depression in the South
has so affected the earnings of the COM
pany that a cut in the wage scale Is nee
essary. As Yet the men Of the road have
made no public statement, but IL is
thought by many that the employees viii
not submit TO the proposed cut
The, officials express themselves as de-
sirous of an amicable agreement. but are
evidently determiued to put the wage cut
through. The plan is 10 have the wages
Of all the employees reduced TO what they
were getting a year 90. According to
this plan only those men who have been
advanced in pay will suffer. those getting
the same wages as a year ago remaining
as they stand on the pay roll. This idea
does not apply in cases where an en-
plOye has been advanced from one class
Of work TO a higher class

TRIAL OF KEMP POSTPONED.
Unable TO Appear In Court on Ac-
count of Illness.

The trial Of J. Arthur Kemp, former
chief property clerk of the police depart
ment, indicted for embezzlement and
grand larceny, was postponed yesterday
by Justice Barnard in Criminal Court No.
. from Monday next 10 March 3
Attorneys S. V. Hayden and A. A. Bir-
ney. who represent Kemp, stated TO the
court that Kemp was i'll, and presented
a certificate of DR.. Addison S. Helton. in
which he stated that Kemp is unable TO
cooperate with his lawyers in the prepar-
alton OF his defense, and that il is uncer-
tain when he will be able to do so.
District Attorney Baker opposed the
pOstpOnement on the ground that he
would be engaged in the trial OF the land
fraud cases Of Hyde. Benson, Schneider.
and Dimond, beginning March u, and he
wanted to dispose Of the Kemp case be-
fore that time. Attorneys Hayden and
BIrney urged the court TO set a date later
than March >. but Justice Barnard stated
that If Kemp is not sufficiently improved
by that time. counsel might bring the
matter again TO the attention Of the court
In his certificate. DR.. Helton states that
Kemp has been under his care since Feb
ruary T. and during that period he has
been confined TO HIS room and TO mis- bed
most Of the time, suffering with a form
of malarial infection, and an attack OF
insomnia. He is also mentally depressed.

RECEIVED NO PRoFFER.
Mr.. RidgeIy Says He Will Not Go 10
Kansas City,

Comptroller Of the Currency Ridgely
authorized the statement yesterday that
he had received no proffer of appointment
to the presidency Of the National Bank
Of Commerce at Kansas City.
The bank was closed and placed in the
hands Of a receiver at the time of the
financial panic, and although plans are
making for the resumption Of business
by this institution. Mr.. RidgeIy said all
talk OF the election Of officers for the
bank was premature
Although Mr.. Ridgely did not say so.
the belief is that he will not consider the
presidency Of the Kansas City institution
If 1t is offered TO him. 1t will eOuse no
surprise though. if Comptroller Ridgely
retires from the Comptroller's Office to
take a high position at the head Of some
financial institution in the not distant
future. In that event there may be
several changes in the personnel of the
Treasury management
There has been some gossip in the last
two or three days about possible changes
in officers OF the Treasury Department.
but most Of the stories are based on the
unjustified assumption that Mr. Ridgely
is going to Kansas City. None of them
can be traced 10 a reliable source.

Commissioner of Pensions Vespasian
Warner yesterday fled his answer to the
suit instituted by Mrs Elizabeth Sousa,
mother Of John Philip Sousa, the band
master for a writ of mandamus TO COM
pei the commissioner to pay to her GER
tain money which she states is due her as
the widow of Antonio Sousa, for many
years a musician IN the Marine Band.
In her declaration. Mrs. SOusa states
that on April H. 1879. her husband was
retired. and was granted by the Secretary
OF the Navy $3.50 per month. in lieu
of home in the Philadelphia Naval
Asylum. lie drew this sum until May.
1880, when he was allowed a pension un-
der the general law at s24 per month.
Former Ruling Rescinded.
Before the Commissioner Of Pensions
would issue him a voucher to collect this
pension, he required him 10 surrender the
$3.50 per month allowed by the Secretary
Of the Navy on the ground that under
the law he could not draw two pensions
at the same time.
Sousa died in April. 1892 About six
months afterward the Pension Bureau re
versed the ruling, holding that the pay
ment Of $3.50 in lieu of a home in the
Naval Asylum was not q pension. and.
therefore. sailors or marines retired upon
this sum monthly could also draw PEN
sion.
Mrs. Sousa seeks TO recover about
$3.50, the amount which accrued TO her
husband from the time his pension was
allowed. in 1855, until the time of bis
death
Va Fund Available.
The commissioner. In his answer. filed
through Assistant United States District
Attorney Mcnamara. admits nearly all of
the allegations made upon behalf of Mrs.
Sousa, but states there is no provision
Of law whereby she can be paid the
amount which has accrued, the law only
providing for the payment Of money
which has accrued under the pension
laws
In his answer, the commissioner also
states that in July. 1856, Mr.. Sousas pen
sion was increased to $50 per month, and
on April 10. 1890, was again increased to
So per month.
