A Scientific
Horse-G^tcbe
During the residence of James Findley
in Syracuse, New York, he has caiight more
than two hundred horses, saving nianV lives
by his daring efforts, and much property
from wholesale destruction. Mr. Findle^
is an unassuming young man, but his brav
ely is, appreciated by the public. He was
‘born in Albany and came to Syracuse some
eighteen years ago. Although only twen^y-A housewife,
three years old, he has a wife and family,
and- ha© served five years at liis trade as a
carriage-painter. About twelve years ago
Findley began catching runaway horses.
He was somewhat timid at first, as may be
imagined, but he gained confidecqe in fem-
. self .as ^succeeded and experiiflcfcted, and
’fibw ooes Dot hesitate to throw ^binwelf in
the* pathway of the most iniuriated steed.
• Findley’s first experience as a hbrse-catcher
was in Auburn. He was waiting for a
train near the depot one afternoon twelve
years ago, when lus-attention was attracted
Jjy a runaway horse, which was dashing
‘toward‘liiin at a breakneck p^ce. In the
wagon were seated a lady arid her litjje
child. The mother was paralyzed
fear.And could not speak. The little child
screamed in, terror, and the cheeks of the
bystanders were blanched as they saw the
frightened horse dashing furiously toward
a train of cars that stood across the street;
The spectators all rushed out of the way,
and liackmen and draymen ran to a place
of safety. Findley saw in an instant that
the occupants of the wagon would.bq.killed
if they were thrown against the train of
cars. Without hesitating a moment Im
planted himself directly in front of the in-
iiiriatedf beast and sprang at his head. He
threw the horse down, and although the
wagon was overturned the occupants were
uninjured, 8ave by mere scratches. His
method of stopping a horse is as follows:
When he sees a runaway horse approaching
he plants himself directly in its route and:
runs with it in the same direction it is pro
ceeding. Findley can run like a deer, and
by the time the runaway horse is abreast of
him, nine times out of ten he is running as
fast as the horse. To seize him by the
check rein or one line and bring hirii to a
halt is, but the work of an instant. Of
course his act is one fraught with great
danger, and he may be said to take his life
in his hands every time he attempts to stop-
^ a horse. Perhaps the bravest act of his!
SotrSwhSt* ^ e ‘ was performed on the seventh of May
last. A team of young horses was running
at breakneck speed down West Genesee
street and across the market in front of the
Empire House directly toward the Syracuse
Savings Bank. In an instant more they
would have plunged into the building.
Findley saw them coming and sprang in
.their ; path. He seized one by the check-
rein and vaulted on its back lightly as a
Cat. By a superhuman effort he succeeded
iu turning the horses in their course, and
brought -down to the ground. This
brave act‘was witnessed by Patrick Lynch,
who had a handsome* bronze medal struck
off, upon which the deed was commemor
ated in* fitting terms, and presented to Mr.
Findley. V

In truth, a lovelier spot than Crag Dell
could not be found for leagues; and, al
though the nearest human habitation was
seven miles away, the Glenns were a happy
family—living, as they did, in a little king
dom of their own, unmolested and un
troubled.
The prettiest thing about the place was
the blue-eyed little Maggie, the sweet cMld
who stood by her mother's side one mag
nificent September morning, and begged to
be allowed to go out to a knoll but a few
rods from the cabin, for whortleberries
which grew very thick and large there. At
first, Mrs. Glenn demurred, for there was
much danger to be apprehended from rat
tlesnakes, which were quite numerous iu
the vicinity; but at last, won over from
discretion by iwo round bright tears which,
glistened in Maggie's eyes, she gave her
consent; enjoining it upon her cMld not to
go out of sight of the cabin.
With a piother’8 pride and care did Mrs.
Glenn watch the little form until she saw
Maggie at the knoll busily engaged in cap
turing the delicious fruit; and then with a
cheerful face she returned to her spinning.
Ever and anon the busy hum of the wheel
would cease; and the mother’s face pressed
the window to see if Maggie still remained
upon the knoll. At last she looked forth,
and a frightful change fell upon her
looked 1 Her cheek became wMte as ashes
—a deadly coldness settled in all her limbs;
she would have shrieked, but her lips were
sealed.
There, an the bold rock which overhung
the knoll, where Maggie yet knelt in cMld-
ish satisfaction, fast filling the bucket with
blue berries, crouched an immense panther,
evidently preparing for the fatal leap.
Mothers! judge of the feelings of that
mother! Far from human aid—her hus
band at work in the interval two miles be
low—and a panther about to devour her
only cMld! The golden hair would be dab
bled in red blood; the lips wMch had so
often been pressed to hers iu the rich kiss of
holy affection, would be tom and crushed
between the ravenous jaws of the monster.
In that hour Martha Glenn thought only
of her child, bhe reflected not on the
danger to wbieh she exposed herself, in.
venturing forth in sight of the terrible ani
mal. She remembered only that her cMld
—the cMld she had nourished at her breast,
and who, for six happy years had slept in
her bosom—was in peril! Forth she sped,
her hands upraised—her eyes fi^d in move
less agony upon the horrible tableau.
The panther gave a low growl of delight,
as his restless eyes fell on his new victim ;
Ms tail lashed the ground in his rage; his
arm; the blood flowed in torrents down

of where the cottage was situated.
Then the torch was applied to the pre

terrible sight met the eyes of those present.
It was a sight that-caused the beholders te
flee up trees for safety. Hissing rattlo-
snakes, and sqealing rats poured o«t of the
building from all directions. As the hot
flames sprang towards the roof, the crack
ling of the dry boards was mingled with
the lattle of scores of maddened serpents,
and unearthly yells of rodents. The very
roof seemed to be alive with venomous rep
tiles, and the bright green and wMte of
their outside covering, shone with a glare
as lhe flames lit upon them. One of the
merr who was a Cfbse eye witness of the
scene, says that he was horror stricken at
the disgusting spectacle. One large snake,
about seven feet long, opened its mouth,
and out came at * least iwo score of little
reptiles, whose little tails shook in the air
as if they too were frenzied, at the destruc
tion the flames made of their home. Seve
ral snakes charged madly upon the flames
oply to fallback,burned to death; while
the'rats that c^uld .get away shouldered
their tails aud took* to the woods. In one
place a protecting log was made the object
of attack by three large, .reptiles. As the
trio dharged -madly upon it a great sheet of
ire, whose forked'tongues were even more
poisonous than those of the snakes, rolled

them to cease rattling, as each one dropped
over dead. Our Informant, who has read
'Dante’s Inferno, describes the scene as
equalling anything in its terrible mingling
of weird and horrid forms that Dante ever
wrote. As the snakes fell dead, burned to
a crisp, it reminded our informant of . St.
Patrick who drove the reptiles from the
Green-Isle. But the flames flew high and
soon the whole structure tumbled in. About
the ground lay many dead serpents and
roasted rats, while some were writhing and
