The hunter who had Muck pigs In India
rallied first, turned his bronco and forced
It at the boar, which had stopped and
stood, head up, a picture, of devlllshnesa,
It was one of the old-timers, without ques
tion, combining the qualities of a Florida
raiorback with the eavageness of an East
Indian wild boar and tha staying powers
of a California Island wild goat. - Little
wonder an everyday bronco which had
possibly never seen a pig In Its Ufa ob
jected. As the bronco moved up, broadside on,
utterly unable to look the strange beast
In tho face, the hunter lifted his rifle and
attempted to aim and hoid the bronco In
place at the same time. It waa a difficult
proposition. At the slightest letup the
horse would turn, frantic with fear. Then
the hunter elevated his rifle with one hand
and let It .drop revolver fashion. Intending
to fire as It covered tha game.
Iown II came, and just about as the
huuter was about to pull the trigger
woufl came tha escaping steamlike note
from the red, dripping mouin. The rifle
went off, the boar charged and the bronco
Jumped ten feet. It seemed to the two
men looking on, and came down stiff
legged In an awful buck, aendlng tha
rider Into the air. Tbey saw the boar
charge, and spurring their broncos they
rushid down the slopes to Interfere. Manuel
leaped to the ground whu his rifle ready
to flu anil I urnlly Jerked the dismounted
sportsman trom tne boar, which, however,
was dead. It had died before It bad an
opportunity to drive Its tusks Into the man
Hard o Kill a Boar,
The boar was a type of tho savage bush
pig, tall, long and slender, muscular with
heavy crest, powerful bead and tuska long
and sharp.
"'I don't know whether the bullet killed
tha brute or I crushed him to death," said
tha hunter, "but It was a close call for
me. I have seen a wild boar In' India run
fifty yards with a hole In his heart.
"I waa hunting In the coulameo dis
trict and Levlson, a man In my regiment,
shot a boar on the charge. Tha ani
mal went by him, blinded In soma way,
and did not stop, but came for me, I being
next In tha trail. I tried to fire, but tnlijsed
and Just as tha brute reached ma tt stag
gered and fell dead. I understand grli
slles will perform tha same seemingly Im
possible feat"
Manuel hauled the boar into the shade
Intending to return for the head aa a
trophy, and the party moved up the
canon crossed over to tha windward side
and Mood on the summit, where tha Pac
ific Following along a ridge they de
scended again and Manuel led them into
a long, narrow canon, which seemed to
be populated with quail and doves alone.
When they had reached tha end of It,
where a little mesa or bench appeared on
tha slope, a small pig waa seen standing
In tha trail fifty yards ahead. It looked
at them a moment, then turned tall and
with a woufl woufl ran down tha trail,
followed by several others. Putting spurs
to the horses tha men followed, when sud
denly from out of the bush came a big
boar that apparently did not propose to run.
It waa an easy pot shot, but the men de
termined to glva. It a chance for ita Ufa
and moved on, while Manuel pushed Into
tha bruah to get In behind tha boar.
Caught by Lariat.
The boar seemed to drop out of sight.
for when they reached tha spot It was no
longer there, nor could Manuel ' see It
from the alope of tha canon. Suddenly
cams the wouf, wouf! aa startling as tha
rattle of a snake, and again out of tha
brush charged the boar, with crest stand
ing and ugly mutxle elevated. Tha horses
broke and reared, frantic at the alght, but
tha riders managed to hold them. Then for
some reason unexplalnabla except for tha
Intensity of Manuel'a yell tha boar kept
on and the hunters gave chaae. It was a
fine exhibition of speed to sea this big,
heavy pig run. The horses going at full
speed were not able to reach It.
"We have no use for this fellpw," cried
ona of the purauers; "try your rope on
him, Manuel."
Bo Manuel, delighted at the opportunity,
pulled ahead, unawung his lariat and soon
had It whirling about his head In a thor
oughly graceful manner. At tha psychol
ogical moment he let go and li a way mir
aculous to the laymen caught tha flying
boar by tha hind foot Tha bronco set
tled bark, throwing the animal cleverly.
Tha boar filled the air with cries and
maddened squeals, then quickly charged
back along tho line. Manuel was equal
to the occasion. Tha canon waa narrow,
there waa no field for play, and ha had
no companion to rope the bosr from the
opposite side and hold It. as he had often
done with boars In the old days, so he did
the next best thing twisted tha rope
around a tree and thus held the boar. It
presented a savage spectacle, Its small.
black, beadlike eyes gleaming with rage
and fear.
"Cleverly done!" orled the Englishman.
After they had examined tha old fellow
Manuel as cleverly released the boar and
with all the fight taken out of tt the boar
trotted off Into the brush without even
looking behind.
SANTA BARBARA, Cal Bept. 7-There
re many diversions ashore for anglers up
among the Santa Barbara Islands. Among
them Is wild boar hunting on both Banta
Rosa and Hunt a Crus.
Santa Crux la a mountain ranee out at
ftea, filled with deep and radiating canons.
Tha Island was visited by Cabrilto in the
sixteenth century, by Vlscalno a century
latr snd tha Rmstnns hunted the
otter there In the eeventeenth century. But
.who placed tha progenitors of the wild
hoars on the Island, how they eame there,
Is not known. That they are well estab
lished and have developed peculiar tralta
la certain.
A party of hunters In search of otter and
Indian relics landed there not long ago
and made ramp on the beach. The guide,
one Manuel Sarto. In turning the cakes one
evening stopped to listen.
"What do you heart" asked one of the
party.
"Ough," whispered the man. "Wild
boars!"
"Wild boars?" exelalrred the other. "Why
didn't you say so before T We'll hunt m.
The finest sport In the world!"
"8portT" rejoined the Mexican. "Is
climbing trees sport? That's what I do
When I meet a wild boar."
"Tha sport of kings," replied tha hunter,
who was an Englishman. "I haven't seen
a pigsticking since I was In India. We
will try It Manuel; not you, but we, eh?"
"SI. senor," answered the Mexican, "not
I, but you. But I go If wa get horses."
In Search of the Boar.
It appeared that the herders who kept
sheep on tha Island at this time had horse
at tha corral of the little ranch ' house.
Three war secured and that afternoon the
' party, mounted on big Mexican saddles and
armed with rifles, roda up the trail leading
into tha Interior of the Island. They reached
a high ridge, then pitched down Into a
canon filled with wild lilac, masses of
wild rose and the Island greasewood and
cactus. There was a well worn trail,
doubtless used by tha Indians long ago.
and aa It gradually pitched down the canon
grew deeper, the mountains seemed to shut
In. Now and then flocks of valley quail
flew up, tha wild dove's voice rose on the
air with Its mournful who who o o. and
far away coming up the canon with ryth
mto measure was the sound of seas break
ing on the west coast
ouaaemy ma canon widened out and a
littla valley appeared, with cactus patches
rich in green and brilliant yellow blossoms.
Tha hunters had almost forgotten the ob.

leaped to one side, almost throwing him.

something big, hairy, bristling and black,
dashed past them.
"What's that?" cried the Englishman,
coming down Into his saddle again from
somewhere.
"I thought you bod stuck pigs In India."
answered Manuel, endeavoring to hold his
branoo.
"So I have, but''
"Cararabal Look out!" shouted Manuel,
as oufl oufl sounded from tha brush. "He
coma again! Ha hamatrlng your horse!"
Back Ho Comes. '
But Is wss too late. That cannon ball
of brlstlea came bowling over the back
track with a wlah! whoofl ouf! ouf! and
the bronoo went Into the air In lateral
leapa, with which tha ordinary tenderfoot
Is unfamiliar. To their credit be It said
the two hunters were not dismounted. One
horse went dashing up tha side of the
canon while the other two ran Into tha
open, where they were checked quivering,
one of tha animals holding up a hoof in
pain.
"That was sudden, like the toothache,"
remarked tha East Indian pig sticker.
"That Is tha way ha la," said Manuel.
"You see heem?" he cried to tha rider up
tha canon alope.
"No, but I can hear growling and ouf!
ouflng somewhere. My horse Is fright
ened out of a year's growth. I am going
to shoot that brute on sight."
"That's the biggest boar I aver see,"
answered Manuel. "He ugly. Tou see old
pig with young In tha brush and when
anything eomea along he Jest drop his
head and charge. Tusks like a shark.
.There he come!"
Oufl Oufl came hissing out of the brush.
The broncos trembled and whirled and the
hunter on tho canon aide vainly endeavored
to hold his bronco, facing the canon so
that ha could bring his rifle Into play.
But tha animal waa erased with fear and
sprang wildly up the side, a bunch of
black hair fallowing for several feet. Then
the rider let the horse go and turning
fired Into tha brush. Tha pig was seen
crashing down.
"Our turn next!" cried Manuel, who had
tightened his cinch and found that the pig
had not touched his horse, but that It had
run Into a cactus bunch.
Tasks of Promlneace.
Presently the hunter up on the conon
side got his frightened horse down.
"If my horse had stumbled I believe
that pig would 'have ripped him up," ne
aald. "Did you aee him? Brlstlea on his
back half a foot high tuska four Inches
long."
Manuel had dismounted and was cinch
lng up the saddles and picking cactus
spines out of his horse's legs. After ho
had finished and listened to the views of
tha hunters ha said:
"It's no use three hunting at the same
time, somebody's bound to get shot or
thrown. That pinto horse, he's going to
buck the minute he gets his eves on the
pig. and It'a the biggest boar I have een
on the Island, old and ugly. I don't want
to feel his tutk."
"Well, what do you suggest?" asked the
East Indian pig sticker. "If I had a good
lance I would not mind riding him down,
but this well, this Is different."
"I say take him one at a time," replied
Manuel, "and the rest hold off."
"That suits."
The words were not out of the speaker's
mouth beforo a rustle was heard In the
brush to the right and with a tremendous
ouf! tha boar, which evidently had been
sneaking up on them under cover, came
at the trio like a cannon bail. It covered
the twenty feet between them and the
