at Bound Oak on the 8-5 train last
Thursday morning, to picnic at
SmithB Park. While taking from
the car their ice-cream freezer,
lemon squeezer, dinner baskets & c.
the alarming discovery of no

followed however by prolong ed

known as Smiths Park. At 12o’ciock
I, by invitation joined the party at
the Park, was introduced to all by
Mr Craig, felt in a little while as if
I had always known the entire
party, they were so genial and kind.
I helped them devour their splendid
j dinner, enjoyed their • jiieey say’ngs

through the grove and other things
usually indulged in on such ’ ac ■

the day was Mrs. Stallings close

At 5 p. m, the party boarded the cars

An Old Ranchmnn’H Story—Tho Singula!
Habit;* of Y.'llil Horses—An Unbearable
Kilisanco to stool! Urowem—The ltug|.
now of “Wollln*”—nouutlen.
An immense block stallion lay dying on
the hillside. His eyes were fast glazing
over with a film of death, as his blood
slowly ebbed* away from a bullet hole in
his lungs.
“Thcro,” sold the old ranohmon as lie
stooped over the dying horse, "I guess
you won’t steal any more of my mares,
you old rascal, yon," and he contemptu
ously kicked the cafeass. The rnnchmun
was old Stelne, a well known horse raiser
in the Rig Horn mountains.
“What, did yon Uill him fort" I asked.
“What did I kill him fur) 1 ” said old
Stelne in astonishment. “For stealing
my mares, of course. You didn't suppose
1 killed him foe fun, did ye?”
“i didn’t know,’’ I replied modestly.
“but i t seems a pity to kill so fino a beast. ’’
“Guess your experience at horse rais
ing, then, is rather limited, straugor,”
said old Stelne; “but ns you ask me acivil
question and seem to be.an honest sort of
a eliap, I’ll tell you all about It.’’
“Didn't you never hear of wild horses?’’
he asked, suddenly, "Well," continued
Bteine, “that’s one of them lying thci o,
and 1 reckon ho was the biggest thief in
the whole lot. You see they run in gangs
of fifty to a hundred, and' the stallions
steal our mares and drive them off into
‘be wild bands, and that’s tlio lust we
ever see of them, unless tt is with a spy
glass. They Just go plum wild and seem
worse nor the real wild mares.’’
I then learned from the old ranchman
some curious facts about tho wild horses
of the plains. Evory effort to destroy
them has proved futile, and the aid of the
territorial government is now to be aak<*i.
to eradicate their hands. They have in
creased so wonderfully withiu tho past
few years that they have become an un
bearable nuisance to the stock growers of
the plains. They graze in bands of
twenty, fifty aud even one hundred, and
are very difficult to approach. An old
stallion generally occupies some elevation
and he will trumpet an alarm to the herd
if he sees any one coming. In times of
danger from wild beasts the stallions form
a circle and the mares aud cults are put
inutile. The colts uro often attacked by
wolves or Itocky mountain lions, but they
never succeed in kilting a colt without i»
hattle with the horses, and often tho
wolves and lions are kicked arid beaten so
badly that they have to beat a retreat
Without securing their prey.
Tho stallions are regular Mormons and
get all the mares they can. They cross
mid recross the country looking for marcs
und even proselyting for horses to enter
their band, if cow ponies stray too far
from the cattle or camp the first thing
they know they are rounded up by an old
stallion aud driven oil into the bills. Often
n wild herd will discover a tame baud of
aorses grazing quietly lu tho valley, With
no intention of leaving their range, but
the band of wild horses, led on by their
stallions, dash down into toe volley, cap
tore them and carry them away. The
,yi!d stallions are shot without mercy bv
(he ranchmen. It one is seen grazing on
n bill he is mleaked up upou and dropped
-i his tracks. 1 hey are very alert aiul
difficult to approach but like the tame
horses are Dually lulled A bullet iu ah

storm U tho best time to bunt wild horses,
for they la. uch and - aimot see any one up
proaching until it hi too late to get out of
the way of the bullets. It la generally
us. ’*.-.s for a hunter to attempt to run
down a wild horse with a tamo one. The
tame horse, weighted down by the l.urdet
of the hunter’s body, soon tires and tho
wild horse easily escapes. Sometimes tho
hunters discover tho tracks of wild horses
Hear a stream and they then hunt for their
Watering place. The band always waters
at tii# same place, and although right on
tho stream, the horses will go up or down
it for a hiile or more in order to drink at
their accustomed watering place. Hiding

Los In wait until the horses come to she
watcr, and then shoots them. It iu difli
suit to catch them, us they seem to know
Instinctively when hunters are about, and
If they even suspect danger they will at
once leave tho locality. A smoke or no
thing unusual will stampede them, and
they will run forty or fifty miles before
letting up. Their sense of smell is very
acute, and on the wind side about a mile
is as close ns a banter can get before being
discovered by his odor, aud the horses are

Tho winter Is the best season for wild
horse hunting in Wyoming. T'heunlmals
get discouraged by the deep snows and be
come hungry and poor. They are apt at
such times to bunch in the cottonwood
groves, where they eat the hark off tho
trees and chew np all the smalt limbs they
cun reach. Jn winter, too, tbe horse
V.ul .eri can unite with it tbe business of
■‘wolfing.” Perhaps some people do not
know what “wolfing” is. Well, a
“•voffer” is simply a wolf hunter, or n
run who kills wolves for their iink-J «oJ
the reward offered for their destruction.
A wolfer goes out into the section of
country where the wolves are tlfickcst, and
builds him a cabin. Ho will then kill one
,r two antelopes, r-.kiu them and drag I i:«
bloody carcass In pieces all about thf
country. The meat is then poisoned with
■ tryehulue and left near his cabin. Tbs
wolves get on the bloody trails and follow
; hem up until they come to tho meat, o!
which tiny eat heartily, end of course
that is the last of them. The wolfer hns
h.s baits iu all parts of tho country, and
•k s from one place to another “skinning
