abe berdbb1i1j obazy thbouge sudden pbight an uncontrollable bush ol terrorized buffaloes which near y tost a hon ills lire i shall never orget that canyon not if i live a century said a frontiersman as the train was slowly creeping along over a deep but narrow abyss common in the western country why i asked becauso was tho reply i dropped into it once or rather was thrown in and had tho narrowest escape of my life i was what is termed a cowpanoher in those days and did a little of everything tho year i hve in mind i was guide for a party of prospectors andengineors and under contract to supply them with beef beef meant buffalo ani there was plenty of it too much aa you will see in those days though they arc all gone now i generally worked ahead of tha party an hour or so to be on the lookout for the indira and game and one day having sighted a big herd 1 f buffaloos i started off with one of the party to kill some and havo them dressed by the time the main party came up my companion was new to the business but i had no idea that he would put me into the scraps b e did we were about four miles from this canyon which is bimply a big wash a out the sides almost up and down and 1000 feet wide a horse can jump from the edge at somo points and fall 15000 teet without itrlkbg thats the kind of a placo it is in crossinc in tha cars you do not seo the steepest part of it we started off in high spirits it was a beautiful morning and there was something in the air that stimulated me something thali is difficult to explain but exjstb ntvsf theless the country to the south and east was as level bb the sea but to the west rose the rockies blue and pink and hero and there isolated buttes away to the northwest rose a cloud of dust which hung over the ground for hundreds of aoren that dust meant buffaloes and for tt we headed i intended riding slowly and when we got near put onspoed and charge them bat all at once my mans horse went into a hole and broke the cinch 1 rode on and left him to mend it thinking of course that he would follow 1 had gone two miles when it occurred to me to stop and wait for him the buffaloes were jnst ahead and i wanted to give him a fair chance for half an hour i waited and suddenly noticed a movement in the herd which was apparently coming in every direc tion the dust seemed to cover the entire horizon prising in tho air like a cloud and spreading to eaoh aide in a moment i was in the saddle and riding out toward it to see which direction it was taking still not wanting to leave my coinpahoo juab then i begmi to hear a 1 oaring sound like thunder every instant it grew louder and finally i began to realize thatl was being surrounded and then it flashed aoross my mind that ib was a btarn pede in a second i was about and away in the direction of the party but i had been stand ing in a depression and as i oamo up i saw that i waa in the center of a halfmoon of of dust thousands of baffilocb were dash ing down on me like an avalanche and their flankoi 8 reaching out as if to b enl rae in ididno waste much tiaio and waa coon on a dead run if you have ever aeon a maa or ahorse inn down a track before an ongino animals leaping along before a prairie fire or waa my companion rideg np while tho buff sloes were a cloud oi dust in the south it seems that he had thinking to get tho start of me gone around and began to fire into the hera from behind and had thus ceated the stampede he didnt know any better so i couldnt say much the bottom of the canyon was about half full of dead and wonnded buffaloes i never saw such a sight before and never want to again perhaps continued the old hunter you have been under the falls of niagara j nat imagine the water living buffa- loeaand yon can imagine my situation my korsa i never saw asaln whether he went into the canyon or not i dont know many animals are subject to stampede but etpsolally those that are accustomed to herd when they are large and powerful the most frightful results may follow it sometimes occurs among elephants when entire plantations are wrecked and fences and houses are ruined in the sealion rookeries of the alaska coast some carious stsmpedes and exciting incidents are often ecen at certain seasons of tho yeat ho aleuts have a drive of seevitchie as the lions are called it is generally begun in september or october the largest and strongest alenta aro se lected tor the purpose who with provisions repair to the vicinity of the rookery at night when the sealions are lying in the eandabovehighwaiermark they make their first attempt armed with stioks gum ond clapping bones thoy creep down to the waters edge and finally with mnch skill and marceaverlng plaoo themselves between the sealiona and the water and at a given signal rush with yells and ecreama at tbeir victims the sealions awake and hearing the terriblo noise dash away in a stampede each ono rushing in the direction in which he happened to be sleeping in thla way half may go inland while the rest head for tho men in the latter case there is somo danger but as a rule the aleucs escape in jury the seahona come hopping flounder ing along making marvelous

direotion of the aleut village ten or twelve miles away and drivon there tho journey taklngirom one to two weeks among wild horses tho stampede is an cxoitlng speotacle the animals literally run ning away in a body it la tbe custom among the indians to create a stampede among horses and cattle when they wish to appropriate somo of thorn and in the con fusion that results not a few are driven off and secured it was once my good fortune to witness a stampede of eels a certain pond on the maine coast was fed by a brook but at high water the ocean flowed in eo that it might be said to be salt at high tide and fresh or brackish at low tide ths conditions icemed pirtlcularly favof- able for the propagation of eels and tho mnddy bottom waa fairly alive with them many of them of large size aa the tide ebbod many ools went into salt water one evening i had occasion to cross tho oroek with a friend just at nightfall the little brook had dwindled down to a mero stream a foot or so wide and as we

trampled to death i soon saw that it was nsele13 to attempt getting around the herd ib was too big and the start was too great so i simply ran for it ran for life you never baw a trampede woll imag

with a roar and noise which shakes tho very earth imagine something like this and you can realize something perhaps of the features of a stampsde it is merely tbe wild rush of terrified cattle or

and so la riling in thia country aa without any warning 1 cme opm thia canyon i took in the situation at a glance if i went down the animals would fall upon me if i staid on theedgo they would trample mo to death there was but one chance that i could turn back the herd and i took it i ran at them firing my rifle bowling them ovor yelling and screaming as a man oan only scream if it is for life bat the roar of their feet was so loud that i doubt if thoy could have heard me oa they cirao liko a whirlwind and turning again i made for tho oanyen i reached the edge about a thousand yards ahead and dismounting i started my horse baok to take his chance and flung myself over the sido there wasnt mnoh time to think but i thought the best chance would be at the edge so i crept as olose to is as possible and at tho tepest place and waited what wero my sensational well i can hardly tell i was pretty certain that my day had oomo and i remeoibor trying to brace np and i thought of my old mother but i didnt have much time oa they came and then i was bnrltd with earth and the next second i saw bsffdocs go sh joting over the edge thoy went as if they had been shot out of a gun clearing the edgo

of alarm and sudden terror is liable tcf rravo tho same result a wild break a rushing ihts way and that even among mon it is not uncommon id every war sudden surprises have resulted in a stampede where hundreds of man ordinarily brave have rushed headlong to escape the supposed or actual danger atam gold copper and asbestos discoveries made dally for some time rumors have been rife thr a certain amount of forged scrip was circulation in the kimberiy share market bat it waa only the other day that anytbin definite was known and the facta were discovered it appears that there was living at johannesburg a young man named pearson a clerk this voath had been on the point of leaving for port elizabeth and before going had invited a large number of his friends and others to a farewell banquet he gave at the grand national hotel ibh banquet was the talk cf the town and the wonder was natural as to where the money for it bad come from the inquiry was put off by statements to the effect that money had been left him and that a present of 250 or 300 thanh shares had been made to him just before leaving johannesburg he gave a broker named sonnenfeld a parcel of these shares to sell and gob an advance of 40 on them this broker being somewhat sus picions sent around the shares to the secre tary of the company to see if they wero all right the answer he got was that they were fraudulent the secretarys name and the names of the directors being forged tbe case was at once put into the bands of the police at potchef stroom a town about a days journey from johannesburg me forger was arrested when the coaoh in which he was travelling arrived there and was brought back to the eccne of his operations where he was examlnod before the lwddrosb and commu ted for trial it u not thought that this dijcivaiy need excite rlurh apprehension as the forgery is in all probability confined to these shares and it will have the efftot of making brokers and dealers exeroiso more oaution whan passing scrip through their hands thus rsndering any similar attempts at fraud in the future d lffioult owing to the likelihood of prompt detection another sensational affair occurred last week at jhaunetburg in which tbe name of a now notorious londoner figures oon- spiouously a person oalling himself m j nioholson neii was assaulted in front of the exchange by a mr brant inquiry agent and deteotive this detective when summoned pleaded that he had committed the assault under great provocation and in the course of the trial made tho statement what thia mr neil was none other than the principal in the firm of abbot page co who carried on a large share buianess in london and whioh failed some two years ago to the tune of nearly a quarter of a mllion sterling nnder circumstances which excited a good deal of unfavorable comment ab tho time mr brant has letters and other doenments in his possession proving that this is the very man who was wanted by the london police and that he bad been paying the detective sums of money to have his incognito kept up the nonpayment of a balance duo to mr brant and the demand for it led to the assault and in turn to tho exposure of a great criminal and btill another sensation worthy of amerioa where daring robberies ar more frequent than they have been in south africa the discovery of tho gold colds seems to be attracting much of arreromi life and it would appear as if some ot tbe rowdy element is being importod along with the industrious at a littlo gold rolnug village in the tivoz7m oslod krugersdorp there

had cxraoted all ths notes and gold amounting in value to 3 700 when the boy oarne to the door and found ft olosed at whioh he was surprised the robbers taking him for a customer told him that the

influence of chloroform la order to be subjected to a moat painful operation at the first incision however tho man who was unusually strong became oonscious crazy with pain he tore the knife from the operating physician and despite tho presence of several friends ho plunged it in an instant into the hearts of professor nagout and a young man who was aoting as witness the double murderer was taken into the tortureroom and bound recognizing the fact that no narcotio could influence him the operation was successfully performed without its use he will recover in all probability the interest in hie trial which will bake place in the near future lies in the defence that he committed the double crime in a fib of temporary insanity caused by the extreme pain the case will form aa important chapter
