A FEARFUL SIEGE,
'
The "Capital of Michigan hud scarcely
been changed /rom Detroit to Linsiug
befbte my father got the fever to go
’West. Wa were then living in New
York State, and doing fairly well on a
farm, but the talk ab;ut Michigan up
set my a man who was then well
enough off. I was 14 years old the day
we Udt for the We-t—father, mother,
four children, and a hired man. All of
us, clear down to tho baby, wero en¬
thusiastic and full of hope, and father
was just the sort of man tho Detroit
land sharks wore looking for. They
sold him a swamp farm in Shiawassee
County, and in one way and another,
cheated and defrauded him, until we
reachod our destination with hardly a
dollar to begin on. A span of horses
and a cow constituted our live stock,
and when fathor found how he had
been duped, he lost heart entirely. The
swindlers guaranteed forty acres of
clearing and a good log house. Tho
clearing was c a lake, and the log house
was n .wretched affair, about sixteen
feefeitfusiro, which had boon put up for
somo surveyors.
It is not, however, of our family
troubles lam going to talk. Michigan
was a great game country at that date,
and we soon discovered that wo had lo¬
cated pretty near headquarters. Insido
cf three days wo had seen a panther,
threo wolves, a bear, a lynx, and *n In¬
dian devib Our nearest neighbor was
ten or twelve miles away, and tho near
ost village about twenty. We were
dead stark alone iu tho midst of a great
. wilderness, and, aside from all other
perils, the Indians, who were generally
- .supposed to bo peaceable, looked upon
all pioneers with jealous eyes, and mado
£heir stay uapleasant in many ways. On
the second day of our stay they stolo
cur cow and ran her off into Ingham
county, where wo accidentally found
her two years later; and insido of a
week they made several attempts to get
the horses. It was not until fired upon
that they left U3 iu peace, and then the
wild beasts and reptiles took hold. Our
hut stood within 200 feet of tha edge of
a great swamp, and tho swamp ■ was
headquarters for rattlesnakes, bluo
racers, black snakes, bears, panthers,
•wolves and every other creature belong¬
ing to tho country. During the first
week of cur stay wo killed upward of
a hundred snakes, most of them rattlers;
and Gordon, tho hired man, who was a
good shot, kitiei a bear and threo
wolves.
Our adventures with jtho panthers
were many and perilous, as the beasts
seemed "determined not to leave the lo¬
cality. The first time I saw one my
life wh 3 preserved in a most .wonderful
manner. Wo had baen located about
10 days, and wero clearing up a pioce
of land about a quarter of a milo from
the house. Father was sick in the
house, Gordon wa3 off aftor a doer for
meat, pad .,!was,iu the clearing alone,
hasfinjt‘a'light axe and cutting away at
tho small troos. Tho only thing I feared
Was-the- soakiri, having been assured
mat fib' fflrbeasts would attack me by
daylight. In putting down a young
beech tree .it doll upon an iron wood in a
way to break it off about 10 feet from
the grouud and leave tho trunk badly
splintered. This splintered trunk stood
about 14 feet from a very largo beech.
I had noticed it only in a general way,
as I had set myself a -stint to do, and
was working with much enthusiasm.
It was about 4 o'clock in tho after¬
noon and I was bending over to exam¬
ine a curious bug which was crawling
at my feet, when a scream filled the
woods, something hit and knocked
me flat on my face, and next
instant a wonderful situation was devel¬
oped. A panther had sprung upon me
from the large beech tree. The coward
had no doubt been watching me for
along time and had waito ! for me to
get my back to him. He meant to cloar
the splintered iron wood in his spring,
but ho did not quite succeed. He had
struck mo with his paw rolling mo over
but not hurting me to speak of, and as
SPRING PLACE). GEORGIA, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 13, 1888.
he came down his right hind foot
caught between two great splinters and
held him fast. Then I was treated to a
circus. I was too scared to move and
stood not more than ten foot away and
witnessed what nobody ever saw be¬
fore. The beast hung head downward
in the air, clawing and spitting and
yelling, and tho harder ho struggled tho
more securely was his foot imprisoned.
Such screams and yells I Father and
mother came running at once,
su; posing I was attacked,
and an Indian who was liunt
ing a mile or more distant was guided
to the spot by tho racket. Tho sharp
claws sent splinters of wood flying all
about and tho lithe body bent and
twisted like a snake. We had no pun,
and Tather was too weak to venture to
u e ihe axe. We were, therefore, stand¬
ing open-mouthed when the Indian
came up and shot the panther through
the head. He could not get the carcass
until wo had chopped tho stub down
and split it open with wedges.
A couple of weeks later a hunter
came along who ndvi<ed father to give
up clearing for a yoar or two and trap
and hunt. All sorts of furs had a fair
cash value, and the stato was paying a
bounty on tho scalps of wolves, bears
and panthers. Tho Indian, who had
taken the body of tho panther off with
him, had mado $15 oa its sca'p The
hunter told us how to make rude traps
and deadfalls, and tho three of us wero
soon bu-y with tho game around us.
One day I found a path leading arou- d
tho edge of the swamp, and tho boil
boro unmistakable proofs that wild
beasts passed that way. We had heard
the scream of panthers nightly, hut I
supposed the beasts which used this
path were wolves. I had mado a stout
rope of hickory peelings, and at a favor¬
able point on the path I bent over a strut
sapling, attached my rope, and then
noosed it and carried tho trigger to a
bmh. What I wanted now was tho
bait, and Gordon furnished that in the
shape of the fore- quai ter of a deer ho
had killed that morning. When tkp
trap was ready no animal could get at
the bait without putting its head in the
noose. I went to sleep that night
counting on the scalp of a wolf, and
next morning I was off as soon, as I
could see my way through tho forest.
It was well that I was not ten minutes
earlier. I was within ten rods of the
trap when I was stopped dead still by
tho screams of a panther. I knew the
boast as soon as ho yelled, and it was
easy to concludo that ho was iu
trouble. I crept forward very care¬
fully, hearing a great thrashing about
with the yells, and when I reachod a
point where I cou'd seo the path I saw
that a big panther had noosed himself.
The noose had caught him about tho
loins, so far back that ho could not get
at tho rope to bito it, and tho spring of
the tree barely permitted him to touch
the earth with his paws now and then.
If tho other boast, trapped through
his own caralessaoss. was mad, this fel¬
low, who had become tho victim of a
put-up job, was furious. AU tho rage
in his nature Lubblcd up ns he dangled
thero and felt that his end was near.
Ho was at a great disadvantage, of
course, hut his struggles wero so vio¬
lent that I becamu alarmed aad ran
awny, knowing that if ho got looso ho
wou d tear me to piecos. Ho was still
fast when I returned with Gordon, and
a fcul et quickly put an oud to his ca¬
reer. IIo was an old and a dangerous
boast. Whon we came to skin him wc
found tho point of a knife iu his shoul¬
der, and ho had several scars made by
the weapons of tho Indians.
We did not catch sight of a panther
for several weeks after -this adventure,
although never "a night passed that we
did not hear their screams. Tho
weather had now com’o on warm, and
we could do no more at trapping.
Father fell very sick, and ono day about
the middle ol Jar.A it beckrite plain that
ho must havo medical assistance at once.
Gordon mounted ono of tho horses for a
ride to the doctor’s,a distance of twelve
miles, and when night came ho had not
returned. It had scarcely grown dark
when the wild beasts around us began
to howl and roar and skulk about tho
house, nnd.after catching sight of sev¬
eral wolves I went in and barred tho
door. There was only one oponing for
a window, and ovor thU was nailed a
blanket. It was high up from tho
ground, and only about two feet square.
. The horse was in a stout pen, and thero
was no fear that ho could be got at.
Whdfi night had fully settled down wo
were in a stato of siege. Wolves to the
number of forty or fifty surrounded the
house, and growing bolder as timo
passed nnd their number increased, they
mado furious and repeated efforts to
force an entrance. Gordon had taken
t,ho gun with him, but we had two
axes in the house. Mother stood at til*
door with ono and I defended (he
window with * tho other. The
wolves gnawed a hole in tho doer,
through which one could have passed
but for her presence and tho shaip
odged weapon she wielde I. Every head
stuck into the opening received a blow,
and tho baffled animals fiaany ceassd
their efforts at that point, although
mother dared not lenva the spot. Ai cr
wolves had worried u3for an hour,
without, however, living mado mich
of nu effort to get iu by way of the wn
dow, it being too high for them, they
lelt us all of n sudden. I then dragged
a chest across, ihe floor to stop the hole j
in tho door, and mother discovered that j
father was dead. Tho poor man, weak j
as ho was, had not been able to enduro j
tho fright of the attack. We did not |
have many minutes for lamentation, j
Tho wolves had given place to a more
dangerous enemy. Thero was a sud
den pounea on the roof over our heads,
accompanied by a snarl, anil we know !
that n panther was at hand. It was a j
lucky thing for in that the builders
oi the hut wero either lazy or in a hur¬
ry, and had built only a
small fireplace and "a small
chimney. There was no fire
on tho hearth and had tho chimney
been the ordinary mammoth affair of
the backwoods wo should have had a
panther on the floor in no time. The
first was soon joined by a second and
third, and then two or throe others
wero heard oa tho ground. They may
have scented the dead or they may have
known nothing of our great calamity,
That they were determined to get in
we wero soon led to understand. I
made a smudge on tliu hearth to keep
them from trying the chimney,and then
mother took ono side cf tho window
and I tho othor. We iustinctively felt
that it was the point of danger now that
tho chest protected tho door. Wo wero
hardly at our posts wlieu a panther
sprang up and tore tho blaqkct
down. Our light consisted of a piece
of cotton lying in a dish of coon’s Iqt,
and at times tho flame was almo t otlt,
A couple of minutes after the blanket
was torn away n panther sprang iuto tho
opening. Had ho been loft undisturbed
he could have squoess d through, but
the instant his head appeared wo both
struck at him. liis right fore paw
hung over the ed ;e of tho opening, and
my blow cut it clean off and dropped it
on the floor. That settled one of tho
visitors, although tho row he mode over
the loss of his paw aim wt unnerved us.
At that moment there seemed to be fivo
or six of tho beasts about, and it was
only a short time before another sprang
into tho opening. Mother struck him
square iu the face, and fivo minuto3
later I severely wounded a third.
That seemed to dampen the
ardor of all, for they soon with
t,row » nnd tli0 wolves returned. It
must have been that theso creatures
scented tho dead. It was the first timo
they had appeared in such numbers nnd
so boldly, and hunger could not have
been the cause of it. They mado littlo
or no effort to get at the horso, but for
an hour after their return they mndo
desperate aud determined efforts to
break their way into tho cabin. They
c .mo against tho door, six or eight of
them at once—with such force as to
shako tho house, and had not tho lower
log been sunk in clay ground they
would havo dug their way under.
It was midnight before wo had a let¬
up, nnd tho last wolf did not leavo be¬
fore 2 o’clock. Up to this timo mother
had not given way to her grief. When
danger passed away sho broke down,
and from then to daylight I sat alone by
the door with ax in hand. I looked for
Gordon at an early hour, but he did not
appear. About 10 o’clock tho horso
came home, bitten in a terriblo manner,
and so serious were his injuriei that he
died beforo ni jht. We knew from the
wounds ii fiictod on tho horso that ho
had been pursued by wolves, and there
was littlo doubt about the fate of his
rider. We dared not start out in search
of help, as wo knew not which way to
go, and wc dared not leavo tho body of
tho dea 1 in tha home another night for
foar of the wolves. Wo waitod until
3 o’clock, nnd then, hoaring nothing
from Gtrdon, we dug a grave, wrapped
poor lather’s remains ia a sheet, ami
buried them as best wo coul l. Next
day some hunters called, and they went
fo look for Gordon. He had been to
the doctor’s, to find him too sick to
come, Oa tho way back ho had beon
chasod by a drove of wolves, and, while
tho horse had escaped, nothing but a
few bones could be/ouni of the man.—
“Mother is always tolling me not to
bolt my food,” said a small hoy, “and

cupboard that has got all the victuals.”
A HORSE HOSPITAL
Scenes Attending an Equine
Surgical Operation.
In the Clinic Room of a Chicago
Veterinary College.
Thero is a very closo analogy between
man and horse r.nd the 75 students at
the Chicago Veterinary college see
this demonstrated every day. One of
the patients now in tho hospital is a
sorrt 1 still ion which carno thero a few
weeks riucj with a broken shoulder
blade. A piece of bono was taken out
through au incifion made by Dr. With*
ers and the horse will soon bo as good
as now. Another has had two teeth
chiseled apart from his j iw bono and
eats lift oats quito contentedly
them. Anoth-r had oao of the quar
t.rs of a foot tiuoa off, necessitated by
a quittor, original! rg from an
corn,
There ate as many difforont ailments
represented as at hospitals for our own
race. Perhaps tin most common of
horso troubles are bono spavins, and
tho most frequent operation at tho vet¬
erinary college is that of firing a horse.
This is the first precaution taken beforo
tho operation. The rope is drawn from
tho fettered hind foot to a point on tho
breast between tho fore legs, where it
passes through a ring fastened on a
collar around tho horse's neck. This
forms a pulley, and a slight pull leaves
tho patiout but throo logs to stand on,
soon convincing him that kicking is out
of the question. The next step is to
blindfo d tho horso, then his spavined
leg is crippled; after that—tho firing.
A horse's sufferings Will about equal
n man’s under the samo conditions, and
just as a high-strung, nervous, sensi
live man wifi feol more pain than ho of
a dull, stupid, phlegmatic nature, so
with tho horse—tho thoroughbred,
with dilated nostrils and quivering
^norves, suffers an intensity of torture
quite impossible to the scrub. The
analogy continues when tha high-bred
man, with tho high-bred horso, suffors
tho greater agony, marked only by deep
groans, white he from tho common herd
suffers loss, raises an outcry and com¬
motion indicating nothing less than
murder. Blood will tell This bay horse
was of tho scrub class, and had the
students aud helpers liad^ thoir way,
would havo been thrown, but Dr
Hughes said: “No; to flro spavin
properly tho tondons and hido must be
at a tension, nnd not limp as whon tho
patient is prostrate," so the bay, with
his noso held tight in tho clutch of a
twist, nnd ono leg constantly jerked
from under him, twistod himself into
all sorts of positions during tho whole
hour of tho operation. He was followed
by a high-lifod sorrol, which, although
ugly and hnrd to manage before a road
wagon, went through tho samo ordeal
of fire with an obstinate determination
that seemed to say: “Kill me if you
will; I will die unconqu.;rod.”
The red hot “lining iron” first burns
a vortical stripo over tho hock, in all
about a foot in length; thon from this
stripe on cither sido is burnt out ton
or a dozen strips of hido, other irons at
white heat fetched as
those used grow cold; one sido of tho
leg thus striped, tho other side is fired
in liko manner, and thon the more cruel
“puncturing iron’ is put to tho torture.
Its point is forced to burn its wny to
tho very centre of tho knee bone, not
one, but 29, perforations being made.
All through th.ii orfioal tho gallant sor
rell has stood with legs braced and
with scarce a tremor or a groan.
Ho is now allowed what rest his
burnt log will permit him for
several hours, and then begins the
worst of his troubles. A powder mado
piincipally of Spanish flies is rubbed
into the sores made by tho firing, and
lor three days the horso, supported by
three legs, swings the maimed fourth,
which all about tho hock is a mass of
blisters. This blistering is washod off
alter.three days and lard applied every
day for four weeks. Ho can’t bo al
lowed to lie down or to reach this log
for two or threo weeks aad his bead is
tied so high that to lie down is impos
j gib’e. It wifi b3 a month before ho
: loav.s the hospital and two months be
fore ho can be driven, but he is then
sound and his lameness has disappeared,
The cost is $10 for the operation and
$1.50 forev ry day’s keep and attend
auce—say $50 in alL
A horse can sleep while standing
much easier than a man can. He looks
toward a fixed point to steady himself,
then braces his logs in such manner
that tho joints are locked, nnd
thus his entiro weight is thrown on tho
fibrous tissue and taken from his mus-
e'.es, giWng bis entire muscular system
the noeded rest. Strolling through the
various city barns the sauuterer notices
that perhaps two cut of ov ry fifty
horses never Lie down at all.—[Chicago

Tho Wily Mormon Prophet.
Brigham Young, tho famous lender
and prophet of tho Mormons, often had
to exert tho whole of his wondcrlully
quick wit in order to preserve the faith
that his followers had in him, but he
was generally equal to the occasion. A
certain elder, while chopping wood, had
cut his leg so badly that it had to bo
amputated. As soon ns he was able he
came to Young and stated his case to
him somewhat as follows: “I have al¬
ways been a good Mormon; 1 hive sev¬
eral wives and a good many children,
and in my. present maimed condition I
do not know how I am to provide for
thorn. I believe tiuiy that you aro
Christ’s representative on earth, and
that have all the that lie
had. Il you like, you can work rnira
clos; if you like, you can give me a
now leg, and now 1 ask you to do it.”
Young assented to all tho flattering
propositions as they were laid down,
and when the elder had finished speak¬
ing ho said: “I can give you a new log,
and I will, but I want you to think
about it a little at first. When the day
of judgment comes, wherever you are
buried, your old leg will find you out
and join itself to you, but if I give you
n new one, that will riso with you, too,
and tho question is whether you would
rather suffer tho incouvcnionco of get¬
ting along With one for a few years hero
or go through all eternity wi‘h three
legs.” Tho choice was quickly made,
and Brigham Young’s reputation as a
miracle-worker was saved.—[Argonaut.
Tho Lake of tho Dismal Swamp.
Ponder on this marvellous fact, says
a correspondent: Tho Like of the
Dismal Swamp, in Virginia, throo miles
by two and a half in extent, ami from
seven to fifteen foot in depth, is situated
on the sldo, and almost ou the top of a
hill, and yet It crentoi by overflow all
around it for about 1000 square miles,
ono of tho densest ani darkest morasses
on the surface of tho earth. In 1763
George Washington surveyed the Dismal
Swamp, and discovered (hat tho western
side was much higher than tho eastern,
and that rivers ran out of tho swamp,
and not into if. Ho then wrote that
tho swamp was “neither a plnin nor a
hollow, but a hillsido.” A member of
the National Geological Survey recently
entered the Dismal Sivamp, proceeding
westward from tho Dismal Swamp canal
toward tho lake, and found that the
riso of the land was five and a half feet
in seven miles. Wo met this gentleman,
Mr. Atkinson, within tho bounds of tho
swamp, and on hoaring his statement
naked him: “Could tho lake bo
lowered and tho swamp drained with
such an incline?” “Certainly,” ho
said. ‘‘It is a very deoided water shod.
An opening from tho lake to tho tido,
on tho Eizsbeth river on one sido, aud
tho Pasquotank on tho other, would
havo a fall of 22 6-10 feet in a distance
of less than fi.teen miles."
The Phonozenograph.
The Due de Feltre has designed an
instrument, which ho calls a phonoze¬
nograph, intended to indicate the di¬
rection of any distant sound. A micro
phonic plate of peculiar construction is
fixed in a vertica^plane, and is in cir¬
cuit with a battery and a telephone re¬
ceiver, or a D,'prez-D’Arsonva-galva
nometor and a Wheatstoao bridge. The
microphone is more or less affected by
a distant sound, according to tho anglo
that it makes with the source. By
moving tho plate about until tho maxi¬
mum effect is obtained tho observer is
enabled to exactly locate tho direction
of the sound. Tho indications of the
telephone receiver are absolutely accu¬
rate, but thoso afforded by the galva¬
nometer are less so, and this latter ar¬
rangement will require great modifica¬
tion oi tho microphonic plats before it
can be said to bo of a practical nature.
This instrument may possibly prove of
uso at sea in preventing collisions in
foggy weather.—[Electrician.
Antique Egyptian Incubators.
One ©t tho oldest industries in Egypt
is artificial egg hatching, principally
engaged in by Copts. There aro said
to le 700 establishments of this nature
in the country, and the production of
chickens from the ovens is estimated at
from 10,000,000 to 12,000,000 annu¬
ally. Tho season for incubating lasts
through three months of the early sum¬
mer. The country people bring eggs
to the proprietors of the “farroogs,”
and give two good eggs for every newly
hatched chick.
