JCN. PRI5BIN TELLS CF A PECU LIAR WESTERN PASTIME. 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 most any part, of the body will cause the boric lo orop on the plam JXJ& 2 S&& SS iS 2 .!S 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 lo a bush or crawling to a bluff thohuntor 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 off in a 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 >i;>. ” The wild horse hunters aro r.lwnyt wolf „ era, nr d , when , they d i not find plenty -,{ wild hones they always find plenty of wol ves, und make a good toiug out. f the ■ounty ■'’•nd pdta.
