THRILLING EXPERIENCES ON THE HUNT ICIt Clifton' * Story of nn Ail venture ivlth Tu < Grlrr.ll.- U Iileli tie Uii'in < tin * Vli-lor lliiUlc \ Midi n I'nntlier Colonel Henry Inmnn , atitlior of "The 0il ! Snrta Fc Trail , " which has boon so favorably rccolveil by the literary world , Is one of the few surviving hunters and scouia who were fninnu. < i throughout thn western country dur ing the period Immediately following the civil war. Hip father , Henry Iciman of New- York , who died In 1SI7 , was a noted rulnter , whoso pictures arc still highly prized by all lovers of art. With something of his father's passion for the picturesque anil rorr.atitlc. Colonel Inman early evinced a fondness for military llfo and the activity ctnd excitement of the camp and Held. Soon after graduating from college ho enlisted In the army and became a model eoMler and ofllcer , partici pating In many of the battlca of the late war and closing hie military career In the subsequent campaigns against the Indians on the western frontier. During this later experience , relates a correspondent ot the Globe-Democrat , he was the Intimate friend and companion of Kit Carson. Luclen It. Maxwell , \V. K. Cody and other moled west erners , and traveled all over the territory between the Missouri river and the lllo Grande , meeting with numerous etr inge ex periences and not n few thrilling and dan gerous adventures. Co'.ecicl Inman loves to recount the stories ot his border life , and among all the recollections of this third of a century on the plains and mountains none ire more delightfully vivid to his mind than ihose cheerful , social gatherings around the Blazing campflro on a cummer's night , under bo sclntlllous brilliancy of a starlit mldcontt'- nent sky , with such associates as the von- cinblc Carson and the no less famous Max well. Colonel Inmans \ familiar with the habits of the varlotifs animals then to bo found In the mountains nnd on the great plains , ami acquired a thorough knowledge of the his tory of each. In the matter ot strength and ferocity ho unhesitatingly yields the palm to the grizzly bear , whoso wonderful power and remarkable- tenacity of life are such that ho was always regarded by In dians and trappers as being tholr most dan gerous fee , nnd for thU' reason they made It a rule never to attack one unless backed up by a strong force of well armed men. Next to ferocity ho classes the panther , or Cali fornia lion , which once had an extensive range on the American continent. Although Ilon-IIke In color ho In no wise resembles his Afrlcaoi or Asiatic namesake , but lo more nearly related to the tiger In his habits. He Is the puma ot the naturalists , or American cougnr , and la really a long-tailed eat the only true representative of the genus fells on the con tinent. Ho is a magnificent looking animal , with great sleepy green eyes , skin as soft as velvet , beautifully mottled , and teeth half an Inch long , as sharp as daggers. Ills paws measure four Inches across , his limbs as finely proportioned as a sculptor could desire , and all his muscles as brawny as an athlete's. Ills breast Is broad , nnd his body as flexible as a anakoV ; he Is an active climber , and ncnorallv drops or snrlncs unon lila prey from.11 limb where ho lias carefully concealed himself. Llko the majority of wild beasts , ho generally runs from man , except when cornered , or a female Is met with kit tens then the maternal instinct presents Itself as strongly as In any other animal. The cougar attains Us greatest size In the Rocky mountains , where Its body reaches a length of four feet and ten Inches , nnd tail from two to two and a half feet. It and the grizzly bear are mortal enemies , and In their frequent single combats the bear Is not always the victor. A NI3URASKA TKAPPI3U. In this connection Colonel Inman relates n story of a curious slio'j at a panther made by Jack Huswell. an old trapper , wjio lived for many years with the I'awness In their Immense village on the Ilepublicnn , In Ne braska , long before that tribe was removed to Its reservation In the Indian territory. Ho was a famous shot , and when the trap ping season was over spent all his time In hunting oik , , bear and deer , which abounded In the "Dismal River country , " as the cx- tremo northwestern portion of what Is now the state of Nebraska was then called. Ono morning in March , ubout 18C5 , Jack started out from his camp on a little stream which ran Into the Republican , to hunt elk. Thcro w ? . a slight sprinkling of snow on the ground , which made the tracks of the animals ho was after plainly visible in the white rime that covered the earth. After ho had been out an hour he came upon the trail of about thirty elk , which he followed , hoping to overtake the herd In a short dis tance. The tracks led him into a small canyon , not moro than forty feet wldo at the opening and gradually contracted until It was less than twenty feetacross. _ It was very rocky , the ledges forming a series of shelves which in places were covered by a growth of cedars. Duswoll waa walking leisurely along , In tently watching itho elk tracks , and had ar rived ot the narrowest part oftho canyon , when his cars wore greeted by a snarl , evi dently emanating from some wild beast. Looking up , he saw , to Qia ! dismay , a female panther on a flat ledge under a 'group ' of the stunteil cedars. The furious animal was In 'the attitude of springing when Jack first eaw her , and ho had no tlmo to pull up his gun or Jump asideSo quick were the cat's movements tihai she was almost upon him 'before ' ho could think , her mouth open ntid her claws unsheathed for busi ness. With that coolness for which men of hla clacu were noted , na 'tho ' animal Jumped for 'him ho held 'tho ' muzzle of his Sharp's carbine nt such an anglo that when she reached him ho stuck the rlllo down her throat and pulled 11m trigger ns she fell on him. The tihot killed the cat Instantly , but. not before she had torn Jack's shoul ders. rinnlnK the flculi in strlpu from his arm as aho tuin'bled ' off to the ground. It was a most remarkable shot , as well as n lucky one , for wilillo the old trapper saved his llfo his arm was ) uscleiu forever after. A TVI'ICAI , FRONTIERSMAN. "Late one night in the fall of 1SCO , " con tinued Colonel Inman , "I was ineUted In the Moreno valloy. New Mexico , on my way from Taca 'to ' Ute Creek Station , on the old Santa Vo trail , where I Intended to take the overland coach next morning for Trini dad. Jt was HO dark among the ihllls that I Hcarcely could see my hand 'before ' my face , yet I believed myself In the vicinity of Maxwell's ranch , whoso wealthy 'but ' Im provident 'proprietor I was Intlmaitcly ac quainted with.

I soon dis covered that I weu nearer the place than I hart really auppwexlj for , on peering In the darkness under the heavy timber , through Which I was wearily plodding , I suddenly saw the well worn trail loading to the ranch from the copper mine on the side of 'Old Daldy , ' and , recognizing certain land marks , notaibly a projecting lodge of rock , und a tall , blasted pineI knew that J was only a mlle from the mouth of the valley , It.ULIlOADM.

Thin lively chorus brought out the ponlat proprietor himself to learn the- cause of the discordant chorus. 1 niado injsclf known In an Instant , nnd was Invited to dismount and enter. InsUo I found Kit Carson ami three- Ute chiefs for these Indians niado a sort of loafing place of the ranefli , Mnxwcll being ono ot their most truMed friends. The n\Mgcd were stretched at full length upon the hard wood floor before the fireplace , up whose cavernous throat the yellow names sTiol with n roar , as the Rreat logs spuUored and blazed In the draft of the Immense chimney. KU sat at a amnll tsble , where ho and Max well had 'been ' playing a game of seven-tip n favorite amusement of both. "Maxwell , knowing that I was ravenously hungry , Immediately ordered a supper to ho prepared , which both ho and Kit nald they would help mo eat. as four hours had elated since they had dined. In less than twenty minutes n Mexican boy btoiiRht In a tray loaded with such viands as the mountain country then afforded ; venison of the black-tailed deer , bear meat , coffee , chocolate and tortillas. Whllo In the act of cutting a piece of the bear meat I re marked that I had seen the track of a Rrlz- xly that afternoon , apparently fresh , and I fancied that I could hear the beast snort In the brush to the right ofl the trail ; but as I had lost no bear , and had been In the moun tains long enough to know that the Indian ; ! nnd trappers never go fitter the grizzly alone , I had made no attempt to Investigate bruin's wheieahouts , especially ns I know that the llttln lUallard rldo I carried would bo about ns effective against him aa n pop gun. These remarks of mine opened Klt'n mouth ho was generally the most reticent of men In relation to anything concerning himself hut ho said they reminded him of n llttlo dllllculty ho once had with two of the cusses. Kit was not very dialectic In his conversation , nnd I will relate the story In his own language : KIT CAUSON A..XI . ) TII13 dHIZZMKS. "H must have beenIn the 30s , as near as I can remember ; I was trapping with two partners on the Medlclno How that summer , ando had been very successful. At the close of the season wo started for Hrldger's fort , Intending to winter with Jim , as he had Hit ! most comfortable place on the fron tier In those days. It was to be a long trip , as jvo were all afoot , and depending en tirely on game for our subsistence. Ono afternoon , after wu had picked out our camp for the night , leaving the two other men to II x up our traps , gather wood and make a lire , I took my rlflo and started out for meat. 1 was n pretty good shot In thoao da > s , and It devolved on mete do the hunting for1 the party. A mlle and a half from camp I sud denly came upon fresh elk tracks there wore dead loads of that beautiful animal on the upper trail In those years ; there arc a good many In the vicinity ot the Medicine How mountains yet. In what Is now Wyo ming , but the herds grow smaller every nea- son , and In a short time they will disappear. I followed the trail ol' the elk , and soon dis covered a herd of twenty or more unsus pectingly feeding In a low graasy bottom sparsely covered by scrubby pines nnd dwarf cedais. 1 made for a bunch ot the collars within easy range of the herd , and got there bcfoio they were aware of my presence ; but just as I wa < going to bring my rlllo ti > my shoulder the leader scented mo , and before I could draw a bead on one as they stood so quietly , Hanks toward me. the whole herd started on a dead run. It was a beautiful sight to see the males , with their magnificent antlcis thrown back ou tholr shoulders , teir through the brush and under the low limbs of the trees regardless ot the entangling branches. I3oys , I have always believed n herd of oik , when they llrst start on that peculiar trot of theirs , and then change tea a long lope , one ot the most picturesque sights In the mountains. "I knew we hud to huve mcit or go hungry do bed , aa we hadn't even a jackrabit , so I t-hougpht I would 'take ' the chance of hitting * ne of the Hying beiutlffl 'on the wing. ' The elk haJ made tlmo and were a long \vay off as I raised my rifle and ptillcj the trigger , but luck wa.s on my side , und I brought down what I thojght was the largest and fattest buck In the whole out-fit. Ho fell on the edge of one of the buiiu'.ics cf timber , and as I approached him to cut his threat , right in front of me , out of the underbrush , came two enormouy grizzlies , snorting anl frothing , tholr cyca Itaslilnfi ; , ithelr immense whltoteet'li ' showing cult * > f their turncd-up lips , anj tholr long , sharp claws stretched out of their sheaths , ready for business. I hud no tlmo to think , or to relcad , and wus badly scareJ. for I dropped my rifle and fairly flow over the If.tie opening I had walked ao stealthily a Tow momenta before , troyhig to reach a bunch of plnca , 100 yarcla distant. It wens Mie only ejinco to save my life , but by another strt-ik of my unusual good luck I got to It with ihe ; two bears cloao after me. I caught hold of the- lower limb of a strong sapling that I knew was strong enough to hold mo , but as 1 swung myself Into the lower brancuca ao close wa ono of the bears that he brushed my leg and rniulu a grab for me , bu'i. luckily I uas out of the reach of his ponderous Juws. The plno on which I wa seated was iwt a very largo one , but I felt comparatively safe , as I knew the grizzly to bo a mighty poor climber the only fear I had was that dho brutea might keep me In my cramped pixsltlon nil night , and i hut my comrades might not llnd me , an I had no gun to lire for indicating the direction they should tal > In lain tins me. TUB UEAIl'S TENDER SI'OT. "Ono thing I learned during my experience in the mountains ami on the- plains , nnJ that was that the bcnr's nosels Iho tenderest part of his anatomy. I had1 discovered i.his fact from these that wore pets In many of our camps , and 'In the small towna en Hie P.iclllc coast. As sowi , therefore , as I could Ulance- myself on my small perch I took out my Icnlfo and cut off u good-slued branch fiom Iho tree , Intending to use it on iihelr noseu should they attempt to climb up after mo. As I suspected. In a few moments after I was seated and 'tho bears liad taken a survey of my new position , ono of ; liom , the largi-'at , gathered himself for a climb after me , but as Oio commenced to hug the Hiiull trunk of the spllng picparatory to rais ing himself , I mppcd hbi noao no lively that ho let go all hold' and dropped down to tlio grouivl aa If ho had been shot , smartlne and howling with the pain 1 had tall I clod. The other , after gazing in wonder at the strange antlca of hU ma to , thought he would like to try It. Ao ho started up I treated him In the same manner to a good rose lashing , and back he went. After a breath ing spell they commcniepd their taetlca again , making the most dcapnrato struggles to pull me down. I thrashed their noses every tlmo they came up , and once I hit one ao hard that ho actually cried like a baby , dropping to Iho ground , a tllntance of flvo feet , where he rolled over and over In his terrible pi In. At laat they grew tired of tholr game und gave It up , The biggest fellow started away , toward the- timber , anil the other followed In a few mtauim I was afraid to come down from my perch for a long time , but when I did I Immediately reloaded my rifle , and then felt Kifer In the event of further domonxtPUlacH being made. I did not get back to camp that night until long after dark nor did WB have meat for supper , for the bears found the elk I had shot and picked his bonca clpju , MAXWICLL AND THK PANTHER. "It was very late when Kit Curaon finished his iitory , but late hourt worn the- rule at the ranch , and wo were determined to hear our ho3t'8 famous adventure with a cougar befuro wo retired to our couch of buffalo ra'jca. Maxwell was always n willing ra conteur , never reticent like Kit , and com menced at coco : " 'In the spring of 1851 I was down nn the Arkanraa , near the Cliiiarron crossing , to bring up a herd of horses that had teen driven from Fort Leavenworth to Fort Urldgcr , where a regiment of United States dragoons were camped , walt'ng for a now mount before commencing a campaign against the Utro , Who'had been deprt'datli , ) ; In the northern part of. Now Mexico. I hart with me a party of Mexican hordem ami three American ? , old trappers , who wan'eil ' to go up to Krenchmr-ci's Creek , where their cjmp was located. W arrived -u the foot of the Spanl'-U Poilts without any adven ture worth mentioning ; had splendid hunting for our nmuxeim-nt for game wan abundant then iho country had no Hettler * . r d dfer , ell ; , bear and other aniir.aU fairly Infcuteil thn whole region. " 'One afternnon I took It Into my head to rldn a fi'-v mile * off the trail to examine ( liu lay of ( he land and the creeks that run Into the Arkansas , na I Intended to trap In that vwlnlty with n partner who was to meet mo at the Pueblo In aboot a month after I had delivered the horses at llrldger. 1 followed the old trail load Ing north ta the Platte for nbout throe miles Ahead of tlio 'herd1 , then struck Into the hills at thii mouth of a small stream , on which I felt satisfied I should find a good many heaver iliuis. I suppose I must have ridden on through iho timber almost always straight we t for more than an hour , when I ar rived at one of the biggest dams t li.lil over seen. 1 got off my home to examine the ground moro closely , tying him to a sapling , while I went on foot along the edge of the water to sco 'if 1 could discover .signs of anybody having tt.ippci ! ' In that region , I had proceeded In this way for n quarter of a mile , perhaps , from where I had left my animal , when I heard a strange sound like the soft purring of A eat. Looking up Into a huge mountain cottanwood there In the brunches right over my head , stretched out on a limb of the tree , not twenty feet from me. was one of the biggest lions 1 have eu-r seen. The beast was watching mo wely , his big eyes ablaze , and fcr an Jn- slant 1 was somewhat startled. I stood per fectly still , contemplating the vicious brute , when , suddenly , as quick as lightning , ho changed his attitude from lying lazily on the limb into ono of more threatening an-oct. assuming a. decidedly catlike posture , his long tall commenced to oscillate slowly , plainly Indicating Hint he was preparing to spring. All this took less time than the telling of It. I knew I hadn't a moment to lose ; It was cither the Hun would get mo or I must get the lion ; so I pulled u\i my old rlflo mighty quick iml blazed away. The ball went exactly where I Intended , right be tween the creature's eyes , hut the effect was entirely oppcsltc of what I nntlrlpated. 1 expet'tcd , of course , to see the beast come tumbling out of his perch dead nt my feet. He dU ccme down , but not dead by a go'd deal , The ball had somehow glanced off his skull his 'head must have been harder than any lion's I over saw , or my charge w.nn too email to make- the bill outer h.s brain. DATTLK FOR LIKE. " 'He was unhurt and bent on my destruc tion. With his fk-st lunge he knocked my Rim n dozen jiirds away. There I was , without any weapon to defend myself , ox- ccpt a niodlum sized knlfo that 1 nhvny.i carried to skin nnil cut uv gamo. It was sharp-pointed , very long , and had a buck- horn handle , which I had mnde one day whui I had nothing to do In uri. ' . I stoo.i by thn sldo of a great elm , which .Md been torn up by the force ot same wind florin , whe-n Iho lion Jumped me , ami as his weight fell on my body I .was thrown with the biMiit clinging to mo tight ovec the log , the animal on 'top. ' My left arm wus forced under the side of the log , and , fortunately , by poll I UK my he.id close up to It , I could keep the brute from biting my face. I was dcessed In a buckskin suit ; a heavy shirt , cr ruiMoi' coat , nllh a long ecio : of the same material , trousers f buckskin , and all new , so that the ela\uj of the beast did not tear through at first , or I should have been ter ribly scratched. With my right hand , the moment wo touched the gromid , I com menced to plunge the knlfo Into my antag onist , trying to hit a vital part , but 1 wai so lMmIki. > i > ed by my peculiar insltlcu that I could not reach file region of his heart , and could only keep Jabbing him on the top of the back , hoping to penetrate his iuait by striking down through -tho shouldor. In this I was not successful , nnd the hrast kept trying aa hard to fret nt my throat. At lnrt his terrible claws worked tlncugh the buckskin of my leggings , and I felt riem ; dig kite the calf of my leg. I began to grow dmpcoue , knowing that something would have to bo done soon or I would feint from loss of blood.
