CATCHING A WILD HOESE.
A Lively Experience in Northern
"Wyoming;.
The Phantom Horse of tbo Prairies Por-
ult of a Wild Racer That Was
Many Times Taken, Only
to Kscape.
When I was stationed up in the Wind
River Valley, Wyoming Territory, I had
a most exciting experience with a wild
horse. I had often heard of this horse,
and there was a good deal of romance
attached to his history, much of which,
I suppose, was pure fiction. Such a
horse, however, did exist, and he was
often seen on the plains, in the canons,
and gazing down at the passers-by from
the mountain tops. At midnight often
a horse wiis seen flying by tho lonely
camps on tho prairie, and the Indians
declared they had been startled out of
their sleep by the shrill neigh or the
clattering hoofs of the "phantom horse,"
as they called him. Tho Chej'enne In
dians had stolen him in Kansas, where
ho had been a noted race-horse, and
the Sioux had in turn stolen him from
the Chcjonnes, who sold him to the
Utes, aud in a great battle near the
Uintah Mountains tho Snake Indians
had captured him from tho Utes. He
escaped from the Snakes, aud for a long
time remained wild on the prairies, bat
finally a Mr. Gallagher and a party of
hunters had succeeded in capturing him
and took him to the Salt Lake settle
ments, but ho had escaped, took to the
mountains and finally drifted back to
his old pastures on the Wind River.
5M1 efforts to recapture him were in
rain, and when I arrived on the Wind
River he had been at large some four
years. 1 knew Mr. Gallagher well and
wroto him about the horse. He re
plied there was such a horse, and for
a time he had been in his possession.
Mr. Gallagher's letter revived all inter
est in the nysterious horse, and I de
termined, if possible, to capture him at
tho earliest opportunity. The Snake
Indians, who inhabited that region, did
not like to talk about him and believed
he was possessed of an evil spirit They
freely admitted often seeing him but
would not help to catch him or have
anything to do with him.
Thus ran the legend of the wild horse
or the phantom steed of the Wind River
Mountains, as he was frequently caljed.
I gave strict instructions to all -hunting
parties, scouts and trappers to look
ftut for tho wild horse, and if they saw
him to let me know. Onco word came
that ho was at Buffalo Bull Lake, sixty
miles away, and I sent a party of Arra
phoe Indians and scouts to capture him.
Afterdays of watching they finally
lassooed him and brought him to their
camp. For days they beat, choked and
starved him. but his brave spirit seemed
unconquerable. His legs were tied
with ropes, and the Indians resorted to
all their known skill in horsemanship to
break aud conquer him. At last one
ambitious Indian youth announced he
could ride lrm, and the ropes were taken
off. The Indian mounted the wild horse
and both disappeared into the hills. In
tho evening the Indian returned to the
camp foot sore and bruised Mid an
nounced that the horse had thrown him
and escaped into the mountains. That
was the last seen of him for nearly three
months, whoa a trappor on Big Wind
River said he saw ahorse with an Indian
saddle on and a rope tied to his under
jaw grazing c-n tho rivsibottora, and he
attempted to approacK Km, but he fled
into the hills like the wind. The Arra
phoes no sooner heard of this than they
set out for th" Big Wind River, deter
mined to capture and bring him in. I
will here say that tho Arraphocs-did not
share the superstition of their neighbors,
the Snakes, in believing the horse had
supernatural towers. or was posssssed
of a bad spirit. They simply regarded
him as a home, and were auxious to
have the honor of being his captors.
In a few days 1 heard the Arrapahoe
Chief had succeeded in finding where
the horse watered, and skillfully spread
ing his larl-ic oa some bushes had suc
ceeded in catching him. He was tied
to a tree, and I sent a wagon and some
soldiers to help bring him in. Chained
to the wagon he was started for camp,
but had only gone five miles when ho
brake the chain in twain, and once
more lied to the hills, defying all pur
suit. The wild horse was not again heard
of for nearly throe mouths, when ono
moruing just after breakfast in midsum
mer, a sentinel on post reported a horse
on a bluff overlooking tho camp, and on
a closer inspection with glasses we saw
it was tho veritable wild horse with the
chain still about his neck. He seemed
greatly exe:U?d. kept galloping up and
down "tho bluff with head and tail erect,
steadily looking at our horse and mule
herd, which was qu:eth; grazing in the
valley. I gave orders to the soldiers
not to disturb the horse or apparently
notice him. but sent word to the herd
ers to move the herd gently toward the
bluff, keeping well in the " background
themselves. Tho horse presently de
scended the bluffs and approached the
herd, but suddenly taking alarm crossed
tho valley and went up the opposite
hills. As if charmed by the presence of
his own kind, he recrosscd the valley
and assumed his old position on the
bluffs Being assured lie came down.
and, for a minute, joined the mule herd.
Then running round and round "he
worked toward the horses and mares.
As long as he would run I let him go,
but seeing he was settling down to cap2
ture our mares I started him out on the
hills once more. Part of the herd was
now driven in, a cavalry company and
some team mules saddled up. and 'we
waited for developments. Wc could
Bee the long chain about his neck, dang
ling between his forelegs, "and appa
rently threshiug them at every step. In
about an hour the horse, apparently ex
hausted!' camo down from the hills and
otered the herd with the mares. I
now ordered the men in twos, threes
ajuf sixes to seize the passes leading
into trismUs and to picket tho bluffs.
Then began a chase tLe like of which I
had never seen before. I had sent out
troopers to all tho passes, and divided
up a company into squads of six and
eight,.with orders to relieve each ofhc-r
as fasths their horses became blown.
The pursuing party started the horso,
and he mado straight for the hills wherf;
he was turned back and driven acrov,
the valley again. Go where he might
soldiers from every canon and on
every hillside emerged with lariats,
ready to lasso him. Like most animals
when closely pursued, the horse ran al
most in a circle, and soon made no cf
fort.to enter the hills. His only anx
iety seemed to be to escape the immedi
ate "presence of his pursuers, who grad
ually closed in on him. At first he
easily outran the swiftest horses, but
now some of the fresher ones were
nearly able to keep up with him. The
chain about neck threshed his forelegs
andgreatly impeded his onward prog
ress." 'Suddenly from the wagon cor
ral '.emerged a teamster mounted, on. a
tall saddle mule, and at the sight of the
mule and rider the soldiers set up a
great shout. The mule had a history,
and was known in the command as Old
Abe Lincoln. He had been the hero of
many a race and won a bet, for not
withstanding his ungainly appearance
he had pluck, endurance aud speed,
such as rarely falls to the lot of a mulo.
Stretching" himself aud shaking his
small whisk tail in tho air, Old Abe went
straight for tho wild horse. Placing
himself on tho outside of tho circle at
the horse's shoulder, Abe stayed with
him, pressing in and in, until he was
going around on a few acres of land. I
now saw the capture of tho horse was
inevitable, and tho soldiers of the camp
ran out with guns, sticks and clubs to
keep him within the circle. By com
mon consent Old Abe and his rider were
allowed to do tho chasing, the other
mounted men merely keeping the horse
in the fatal ring. Abe's rider made one
or two attempt' to throw a rope over
the horso's head, but he dodged it with
wonderful agility.
"Catch him by the chain! Catch him
by the chain!" the soldiers called out,
and Abe's rider put up his rope and
made desperate efforts to get hold of the
chain that hung from the horse's neck.
Once or twice he got it, but the horse
tore away. Old Abo seemed to under
stand the business on hand, and was
constantly trying to get ahead of the
horse. He did not seem to know why
he should be required to keep alongside,
and greatly vexed his rider by his ef
forts to pass the horse. At last; how
ever, the chain was secured, aud Abe,
either understanding it or being tired
out, merely kept at the horse's side. As
the soldier tugged at the chain it began
to choke the horse, and finally ho stag
gered as he ran. The soldiers now
closed in ana; threw tlieir lariats at turn
as he passed. One went over his head,
and the soldier hung to it until another
and another came to his help. The horse
could go no further, his eyes popped
out of his head, his tongue protruded
from his mouth, and he fell heavily on
the plain. In an instant his forelegs
were bound together, aud at last we,
had the wild horse safe in our hands. I
examined him carefully, and found him,
a dark chestnut bay in color, and of
medium size. The chain had cut deep
into his neck, making an ugly sore, and
the skin "was completely threshed oft;
his knees and forelegs by the beating of
the chain. -He was broad-chested, with,
wide nostrils and a big, bright, fiery,
eye. The muscles wore gathereofln
large knots, and the veins on his neck'
ana body stood out like whip-cords.
After we had securely hoppled his,
legs and tied a dozen long ropes to him,
we took the chain off his neck and let
him rise. He seemed completely con
quered, and moved along quietly enough
to the stables. The horse was bywlom
mon consent given to me; but I said I
would not have him, and thought he,
ought to belong to Old Abe and his"
rider. This greatly pleased the soldiers,:
and, as Old Abe and his rider belonged'
to Captain Phisterer's company, of the
Seventh Infantry, tho horse went to that

"THE THUNDERER."
Th'j London Times Reaches the did of
Its First Century.
Founded on the 1st of January, 1785,
the Times has reached the hundredth
year of its existence. To survive to so
great an age is as rare among newspa
pers as it is among human beings, still
rarer is it, in both cases, for the hun
dredth anniversary to be attained with
out any trace or token of decrepitude
and decay. There is but one London
morning journal which, having lived
for upward of a century, continues
brimful of life and vigor, which is even
more lusty and energetic now than in
earlier days aud bids fair to see suc
ceeding centuries pass over its head.
This is the Morninq Post, which was
founded in 1772 with the title of the
Morning Post and 'General Advertiser.
Other London morning journals, enjoy
ing a boundless circulation and an un
precedented popularity, are compara
tively .young. The oldest among them is
tho Morning Advertiser, which is aged
ninety; the youngest is tho Standard,
which is only twenty-eight. The Daily
News has lived and exercised worlds
wide influence for thirty-nine years ;
the Daily Telegraph and Daily Chroni
cle for thirty. Newspapers, like human
beings, "have their day and cease to
bo," and in the cases of "both their dis
appearance sejms often untimely and
incomprehensible. Not many years ago
the Morning Herald and the Morning
Chronicle were, to all appearances, as
popular and powerful as several of tho
contemporaries which have survived
them. TliGir conductors were enter
prising and untiring in collecting news;
the ablest pens of tho day con
tributed to their columns. Both jour
nals appeared to be indispensible to a
large section of the reading public, and
both enjoyed the favor of many adver
tisers, when they rapidly decayed and
passed away. For many years the
Morning Star twinkled brightly in the
journalistic firmament, vet its light was
suddenly quenched. Others, such as
the Representative and tho Miivor, tho
Constitutional, the Day, and the Hour,
expired after a very short struggle for
existence. Though the first number of
the Times was published on the 1st of
January, 1785, yet the journal was not
called by its present name till the ap
pearance of its 940th number on tho
1st of January, 1788. It was then no
unusual thing for an established news
paper to assume a new tace. For in
stance, the Public Advertiser, to which
"Junius" contributed, was first known
as the London Daily Post and General
Advertiser, next as the General Adver
tiser, and lastly by the title which is
now familiar. The Morning Post has
dropped half of its origiwil designation.
For the first three years of its existence
the Times was styled the Daily Uni
versal Register. On the 24th of Decem
ber, 1787, the following intimation was
made to its readers: ''Various reasons
having occurred since the first publica
tion of the Universal Register which
render it essentially necessary to change
the present title, we respectfully inform
our readers that on the 1st of January
next it will appear with an entire new
set of features under the title of the
Times." Thus, for the first title, which
was "The Daily Universal Register,
.printed logographically, by His Ma
jesty's patent," there was substituted
the following: "The Times, or Daily
Universal Register, printed logographic
ally." The bust number of the journal
under its old title does uot materially
differ from the earlier ones under its
new one, nor at the outset was there a
marked superiority of the new journal
over its contemporaries. The Nine

WSNTER IN THE NORTH.
What Cold We.tthcr in Manitoba Means,
According to a Woman's Kvirioiico.
And this brings me to speak about
my experience of the climate of Mani
toba. The variations of temperature
are very great I have seen tho ther
mometer stand at 125 inside a tent
iu summer, and at 58 below zero, or
90 below freezing point, outside tho
house in winter. Such Arctic cold
would be unendurable if the air wero
not so wonderfully dry and clear and
often very still that it does not seem
half as cold as it really is. Then tho
changes of weather are not generally
very sudden: the heat and cold are very
regular, and in mid-seasons the thcr
momeler does not fluctuate much.
Perhaps a few homely details may
best servo to illustrate what winter in
Manitoba means. Tho snow ontsido
our house is from six to ten feet deep
from November to April. Moccasins,
made by Indians of moose-skin, are
used instead of shoes to cover the feet,
which are first cased in several pairs of
stockings.
Wo wero forced to melt snow for all
tho water we used last winter. The
cold is so intense that when melted snow
water is poured from the boiler into a
pail, and taken at once across to the
stable, the ice on it frequently has to be
broken with a stick before the cattle can
drink. It is rather a common sight to
see people partly frozen. The part
affected turns as white as marble, and
loses all feeling. Unless you see your
self in a glass, or are told of it, voa are
not conscious of being frozen. In this
plight it is best not to go near a fire, as
sudden thawing is very painful. People
generally try friction, rubbing them
selves with snow, or, better still, par
affine oil. Occasionally, when one is
frozen and far from help, the part
frozen, if an cxtremfty, will snap off.
Last year a man living about thirty
miles from us was told that his ear was
frozen; he put up his hand to feel, and
the ear dropped off in his hand. Limbs
sometimes have to bo amputated from
severe frost bites. My kitten's ears
froze and broke off last winter, and a
neighbor's pony lost ears in the same
way.
I was surprised when I first found the
mustard freeze in' my mustard-pot,
which stood a foot from the kitchen
Btovepipe and two feet above the stove,
where there was a blazing lire all day
and every day through the winter. Yet
the mustard f i oze between every meal.
Bread froze if left for half an hour in a
room without a fire.
Such stories must sound almost in
credible except to those who. like my
self, have witnessed the facts, though,
of course, only in the most severe
weather.
Winter is, of course, uot equally
severe throughout Part of mydescrij
tion applies only to its colder 'half. But
to a woman the most trying part of a
winter in Manitoba is not its severity
for you live in a warm house but " its
length. Snow lay on the ground last
season fornix months and a half, and
the great lakes were frozen for the same
period. Cor. Philadelphia Press.

COUNTERFEITING.
Th Methods Resorted to by an Expert ta
Imitate the Greenback of.the Republic.
United States Detective W. 6. Bauer
recently returned from Memphis, an
nouncing the conviction of the cele
brated counterfeiter Martin Ogle. A
reporter this afternoon found Detective
Bauer in his room surrounded by piles
of counterfeit bills, and looking over
the tools with which the counterfeiter
accomplished his work. To a reporter
he explained the processes, which cer
tainly display a wonderful amount of
ingenuity and delicate workmanship.
Ogle had procured a genuine ten-dollar
bill and split this in halves, this
being in itself a remarkable operation.
The two sheets thus made wore so thin
that they wero transparent. He made a
plate of copper and brass, a little larger
than the bill, and spread oua of the
sheets on top of it With a steel tra
cing pencil of his own manufacture ko
engraved through the sheet iti exact
counterpart on the plate. Tho other
half was engraved on a different plate
in a similar manner, and then he was
ready for printing his spurious money.
This method of workmanship looks very
simple, but it is the first time it has
been done by a counterfeiter, as it is al
most impossible to spilt tke bill.
The method always beforo used is as
follows: The workman took, say a ten
dollar bill, and spread over it a piece of
transparent gelatine paper, and traced
tho figures of the former on the latter.
Tho metal plate was next put in use,
and was coated with a solution of shel
lac. On this the gelatine paper was
pasted, and, when torn off, it left on
the shellac the outline .of its figures.
By following these in the solution they
wero also traced in delicate lines on tho
plate. The shellac then being washed
off the latter they could be cut to the
right depth, and" the counterfeiter was
ready for his work. Ogle's method ob
viated these three or four mothods, and
rendered the engraving on the plate far
more accurate, as the correctness of the
lines wa3 necessarily lost through so
many transfers.
This man thus accomplished, a piece
of work alone and unaided, with tools
of his own manufacture, when tho Na
tional Government paid over $100,000 for
a steam machine to do the same thing.
Detective Biuer showed Ogle's tools,
which were fitted to rough wooden
handles, but possessed points as sharp
as steel. He also displayed the genuine
bill split in two sheets, and parfectly
transparent. He had on a table several
packages of bills of Ogle's manufacture,
amounting in all to $30, 000, in tens
aud twenties. They were all on th'j
Third National Bank of Cincinnati, but
the new plates wore intended for the
Queen City Bank.
"Ogle," said Detective Bauer, "Is the
grst man who has issued any spurious
money during the last six years, and he
has shown au almost unexampled skill
and astuteness. His brother, who has
been returned to the Pennsylvania peni
tentiary, knew nothing about this work
manship, but was merely a kind of head
servant to Martin. The latter did all
his work on a Hatboat, and scattered
the money chiefly at river points. He
turned over to "me in all $160,000 of
about the best counterfeiting I erer
saw." Louisville Post.
THE GAMBLER.
Hoir HU Presence In a Community
Da-
vastates It.
The gamblers of New York have led a
precarious and on the whole a wretched
existence for two or three years past.
These places have been raided by both
the public and private police, and when
ever tho attitude of the law is decided
toward them they read the handwriting
on the wall and tako a holiday. Per
haps the least self-satisfied countenances
to be seen around ourliotels and public
resorts are the old gamblers who long
had complete immunity, and to this day
preserve a little hold on the police and
even the police justices. Cases are not
infrequent of gamblers sitting on our
minor benches or being clerks of the
courts. Hence a certain latent sym
pathy in tho prosecution of these men
and oven on their being surprised. The
best thing the gambler can do to satisfy
himself is to get out of the business al
together. The occasional funds of
money he raises by his dangerous and
outlawed trade hardly ever stay by him,
and a good deal of it goes to the police
and lawyers and other parasites who
hold vice to be their natural banker and
side patron. Our hotels arc also often
indifferent to the presence of the gam
bling community right among their
guests, and it seems to me to be a poor
thing to do with a guest who comes to
town with money which he might other
wise spend in the proper office of hospi
tality, to allow him to be taken in hand
by some gambler's roper-in and escorted
to some place in the neighborhood
where he can be picked clean and has
to draw his check, more or less uncer
tain, to pay his bill and get speedily out
of town.
A sufficient number of gamblers will
devastate any territory onthe globe.

An Accommodating Friend.
A desperado named Charlie Fee, who
had murdered a friend in cold blood at
Brackettsville, Texas, was pursued by
the Sheriff, overtaken, and captured
after a desperate resistance. After his
arrest he became quite sociable, and
the Sheriff asked him why ho murdered
his visitor in his sleep.
"I did it as a matter of accommoda
tion," replied Fee calmly.
"As a matter of accommodation?"'
"Yes; I had often heard the deceased
say when he was alive that he dreaded
a lingering death, and that he wanted
to die unexpectedly." Texas Sitings.

In a recent lecture on the germs of
disease, Dr. Sternberg said that the
strips of flannel saturated with oarbolic
acid hung up in the sick room, and
the chlorine saucer placed under the
bed, are wholely valueless in aresting
the progress of pestilence. Such
methods do harm, he thinks, by lead
ing people to neglect the far more im
portant measure of admitting an
abundance of fresh air, which sweeps
away the germs. Many antiseptics
and deodorizers are valueless for the
destruction of germs. For this purpose
he recommends tho liquor of the chlo
rinate of soda. Chicago Times.
A Chinaman was caught in a cute

what appeared to be five twenty-dollar
rolls of silver. He took up the ring
and broke one of the rolls, which con
tained half-dollars. He pushed over
the other four, but there being some
thing suspicious in his movements the
storekeeper sent for an officer, who
took charge of tho ring, money and
unopened rolls. When tho "latter
were undone it was discovered that
they were lead rolls, at each end of
which a half-dollar was placed. San

A physician gives a suggestive Inci

A patient who had been enveloped in
mental darkness for more than three
years was cured by occupation. At
first the insane man assisted on the
mangle. Then he set himself to
picking up buttons, and in a few
months had about two thousand on a
string, with which he ornamented the
walls of his room. He was then offered
a small bounty for even' rat, mole or
muskrat he would destroy, and was
given the full liberty of the grounds.
Ho soon gave evidence of ability to take
care of himself, and was released from
the asylum. Ar. Y. Herald.
VIBRIONS.
A. Curious Word, Signifying Spiritless,
Cold-Ulooded People.
We meet them everywhere. They
are people who dress well, who are
seen in public places, and who glide
through life in an automatic way, that
in any one else would be attributed to
human numbness of nerves. They
never do anything but draw nutrition
from whatever they can attach them
selves to. This peculiarity is the first
to strike the general mass of intelli
gent people. The vibrion takes everj
thiug society or the community offers
in the way of profit, and gives nothing
in return but a narrow, petty, misera
ble, self-seeking existence. If he by
any means gets into the church ho ab
sorbs all that religion has to offer, but
gives back nothing perfectly willing
to take all religion has to give. The
pious layman vibrion possibly pays foi
a pew, attends church piously, picnics
solemnly, suppers sadly and banquets
with jjrief. The vibrion has no nerves,
electricity would not shock him, nor
any one, male or female. The vibrion,
unfortunately, is youthful, as a rule.
If he is in business the vibrion takes
advantage of all circumstances, but
does nothing for the commercial inter
ests. In politics he is a leech willing
to accept office and emoluments, but
loth to contribute of his means toward
the common weal. As a curiosity the
vibrion may be interesting, but as a be
ing in the semblance of a man he is
more dangerous to society than any
member of that class which is supposed
to demand the constant attention of
the police, and would be of little use
even to the doctors to dissect, as ho is
deficient of heart and nerves. This is
given as a study of a class. It is ex
aggerated to some extent, but there ii
an approach to reality. It is a bad
remoye from the masher. N, T.
