The Wild Horse of Wind Hirer.
A FIEIIY, UNTAMABLE STEED TOO SAV
AGE FOR THE INDIANS SNArriNO
LOO CHAINS THE WONDERFUL CHASE
IN A CIRCLE Tilt INfl OUT A REGIMENT
OF HOUSES -REMARKABLE TIME.
At Camp Rruwn, iu the Wind Hirer
country, we saw u wild horse which had
a history worth relating. Some years ago
the Cheyenne Indians stole him in
Kansas, and mjI.1 hitn to the Utes, who
io turn sold him to the Sioux, from
which tribe he was bought or stolen by
the Snake Indians, and brought to the
Valley of the Popoagie. Here he es
caped, and for a lonr time baffled ail
efforts to recapture him. At length he
was caught and sold to a Mr. Gallaher;
but while being taken to the settlements
he "broke a strong chain and got away
into the mountains. Iu time he reap
pcared ou bin old stumping ground, and
again the Indians laid plans to take
him. He was so fleet he could outrun
their best horses, and no number of
thctn could ruu him dowu. When stir
rouuded or cornered, be bit, kicked,
and fought so fiercely it was impossible
to hold him. One day he was surprised
in a canyon by a body of warriors, and
lassoed before he could gt out. Se
curely tied with ropes he was brought
to the Indian camp, aud starved, beaten,
and choked iuto semi obedieoce. An
ambitions Indian attempted to ride him,
and away he went to the hills. Late at
niht the Indian returned to camp sore
and tired, but without the horse; he
had been thrown and the animal was
ouce more at large. He was ofteu seen
alter this, but defied all attempts to
take him. One alternoon an Ittdian
who was out fishin; saw the wild horse
grazing under a bltifl, and tyin a lar:e
! Mone to his lariat b crawled to the
cd-:c of the rock and threw the noose
with unerriug precision. The horse
dragged the rock for some distance, but
choked by the thong he staggered, fell
t0 l',c P'a'ni an,J was once more bound
hard and fat. The Iudians now tied
him with a log chain to a tree, but even
this he managed to break and fled to
the bills.
He was not seen for a long time ; but,
soon after the founding of Camp Brown,
a sentiuel reported a horse on the
bluff, and, on cxauiiuin-: the animal
through a glass, it was found to be the
famous wild horse On attempting to
approach him, he fled like the wind into
the mountains ; but next day was again
een perched on the blufl, quietly look-
ing d(wn at the camn. The command

"u uic uiu:j iu firaie - ue came (town
and remained with thera all day, but re
turned at night into tho mountains.
The next day lie came down to the cav
alry herd ou the plain, but seemed
greatly excited, and kept running about
nearly ail day. The couimandin; officer
as long as he kept in motion, and, by
gentle alarms, he was made to gallop in
wide circles sibout the herd, but, as if
charmed, would constantly return to it.
Late in the afternoon parties of cavalry,
men ou mules, aod a company of infant
ry were sent quietly out of the fort, and
occupied the passes and hill tops for
miles. It was known he would break
through any .small circle, and so an im
mense one was formed to ruu him
down.
The pursuing party were twenty seven
in number, and stationed at long dis
tances. No two were to pursue the
horse at once, unless a fcignal for all to
close in was givcu. The chase began,
and. as is the custom of animals when
hard pressed, I lie horse ran nearly iu a
circle. The trap had been adroitly laid,
new pursuers constantly keeping him
at his mettle, while the old ones drop
ped out to occupy their stations iu the
great riug.
The rapidity and length of time which
be ran were incredible. The loghain
he had on when he made his last escape
from the Indians was still about his neck,
and the end of it threshed his fore legs
until the hair, and cveu the skin, was
beaten off aud the blood rau down. On
he went like the wind, tdiaking off cavalry
man after cavalryman, and opening wide
gaps between him aud his pursuers. It
was getting near dark, aud fctill the wild
chase continued, the horse showing no
great signs of distress.
As his astonishing powers became more
aud more evident, the desire to capture
him iucreased, and shouts of admiration
went up from the little group of officers
gathered on the lookout at the fort when
ever he distanced his pursuers.
At length the signal to close iu was
liven, and thcu began the scramble. Men
mounted ou hories and mules, aud on foot,
moved forward, aod the circle gradually
lessened, until a wall of human flesh
bound in the noble horse on evey side.
Hound and round the circle he went, his
nostrils distended and his eyes flashing
fire. For a time he kept ahead of his
pursuers, aud the cavalry horses, one by
one, dropped behind; but the mules
showed their superior toughness, and
closed on him. One old saddle mule,
who became excited iu the chase, kept
close up, with tail erect, and finally
beaded him. As the horse swung round,
and turned once more toward the fort,
the air rang with hurzis, for oot bis
capture seemed almost certain.
The old wule; with surprising tpeed

and bottom, kept close to the horse's
flanks, and the horde who had been fol
lowing in the wake of the chase parted
right and left to let the horse pass
through, and, when in the midst of them,
they closed around him so thichly that he
wheeled and plunged in every direction.
A teamster seized hold of the end of
the chain, and the next instant a rope
was over the wild creature's neck. Still
he struggled for his liberty, but many
hands soon bound him, and he fell
prostrate upon the plain. The chain
about his neck had cut deep into the
flesh, and the end that hung down had
threshed the skin and flesh to the bone
off the poor brute's forelegs. He was of
medium size, dark brown in color, deep
chested, and with wide nostrils. His eyes
were bright and piercing, and his limbs
short, stout, and full of muscle. On his
shoulders and hams the muscles were
gathered in knots as large as one's hand ;
the skiu was very thin, and the veins
underneath stood out like whip cords.
As the horse had been captured by
everybody the coriimanding ofSccr ordered
that he should be put up at a rafie, and
each claimant be given one chance. This
was universally satisfacfory, and at the
drawing Lieut. Larribcc, of Capt.
Phisterer's company, Seventh United
Infantry, won the prize. When I saw
him he was quite gentle, and would allow
you to pat his sides, and even mount
upon his back. It was said he could trot
as fast as an ordinary horse could run, and
when being caught, he was timed between
two trees, and, the distance afterward
being measured, it was found ne had run
a mile iu 1 minute and 46 seconds.
Presentation to a Street Car Conductor.
A good "take off" on the prevailing
style of "watch presentations" was that
which occurred on Thursday evening at
the Relief Fire Engine House on Filth
avenue. Mr. George It. Heecher, one of
those good fellows we meet with occasional
ly, was formerly tcmporaily connected with
the Relief Company. George being out
of employment at his trade has recently
accepted a position as conductor ou the
Oakland Railway a place where just
such men as Mr. Rcccher are needed at
this time. The position requires the
holder to have a good time keeper, and the
Relief boys arranged for the manufacture
of a good sized one for the new couduetor.
The presentation took dace on Thursday
evening, as stated, and the Superintendent
was present to witness it The presenta
tiou speech was delivered by Joseph
liusha, engineer of the compay, who re
marked that employees of the Oakland
Railway had heretofore been poorly sup
plied with good timekeepers, as every one
who patronized the road well knew. The
Relief company was determined that their
former companion should not be "short"
in this respect, that while he directed a
car the patrons of the road, so far as
George was concered, should not be be
bind time, and that he, Mr. IJeecher,
should have such a timepiece a3 could be
seen on the darkest night and with the
poorest glimmer of light the -Oakland
company was famous in furnishing.
Mr- Iieecher, in accepting the hand
some testimonial, was somewhat overcome
at the kindness of his friends, but his
spirits soon rallied and he replied in
touching language, lie was pleased to
know that the horse stock of the Oakland
company was famous for streugth and
pluck, and that they were uot to be
"stuck" by loads of large men or women
and plenty of them, and that at mammoth
pocket time pieces they would not "scare
worth a cent." He was filled with
gratitude at the foresight and generosity
of his firemen friends, and would cherih
their gift as long as time would let him
He would wish to live a thousand years
that he might exhibit to continued geuera
tions the wonderful piece of mechanism
gotten up by the eminent mechanics of
the Relief fire company.
After congratulations, the time piece
was exhibited to the admiring gaze of a
large crowd of persons in attendance. It
is about one foot in circumference, tho
case being tho rind of a fine turnip, the
inside works of suitable strength and
proportions, with iron chain and key
capable of fastening securely a good sized
door.
Patrons of the Oakland road will be
anxious to catch Ueccher's car daily, and
the management may look to him for the
lagest "run" of any conductor on the
road. rittshurg Commercial.
The Fox in Ireland.
In ancient times iu Ireland the fox was
regarded with superstitious dread, an J,
although Master Reynard was hated,
great respect was paid to him for fear of
his woiking harm. The old belief still
lingers irr the Celtic districts, and the
good housewives, as in the olden days,
lay wool ou the bushes as a peace offering
to the fox, or make mittens out of lambs'
wool for his feet, leaving them at the
entrance of his den. They believe that
the fox wears mittens on cold nights
when he goes on a foraging tramp, and
iu gratitude will not carry off the chicks
of the donor. In West Mayo and Donegal
the fox is always called the "red fellow,"
the ' gentleman," or some other polite
name; for it is thought that he would
spitefully kill every fowl belonging to a
person bold enough to utter his Eume
without due respect.
KIDNAPPED AND FOUND.
Remarkable Search for a Stolen Child
It is Found in a Mountain Wilderness,
Five Miles from Canton, Pa.
The following' account of the kidnap
ping of a child from Mrs J. 1$. Adams,
wife of Editor Adams, of Scranfon, will
be read with interest. It is from the
Bioghamton llepxihlican, of Friday, and
is of a purely local nature, from the fact
that Mrs. Adams in her search visited
Williamsport, and that after her tedious
wanderings she found the child near
Cauton :
"Mrs. J. R. Adams, of Scrantou, was
in this office last evening, with the little
child for which she has been searching all
summer. It will be remembered by most
of the readers of the Republican that early
last July Mrs. Adams was in the city,
advertising and inquiring for her child,
and searching at the schools aud in homes,
and wherever she could hear of a deserted
or an adopted child, for hers. She ex
pressed fears that her child had been
kidnapped, and procured tl.e services of
Colonel Drown and other officers to assist
her in the search, when official protection
was necessary. Colonel Drown went with
her to Greene, where they learned the
child had been, but there all traces of it
were iost sight of.
"Mrs. Adams, nevertheless, continued
her search as a detective, aod appears to
have been for the most part uunided,
except where she would engage an officer,
as she did here, to protect her on occasions
when she expected to place her hands
upon the child.
"It is probable that some rsore ex
perienced detective, with money at his
disposal, would have been successful in
a shorter space of time, but the loss of
the child so preyed upon Mrs. Adams'
mind, and so unstrung her nervous
system, that she could not rest unless
engaged in the search herself. Like
Evangeline in search of her lover, she
would wauder to far off places where the
lost one was last seen, only to learn that
other persons had preceded and removed
the loved one to another locality, and
where that was no one could inform her.
In the disguise of a peddling woman she
would travel on, inquiring when she
dared to and observing when she dared
not inquire.
"Now her presence in Montrose would
be announced ; by and by a persoual in
the Williamsport papers would say she
was visiting the schools in that city ; soon
her presence in Elmira would be noticed ;
then she would be going through the
schools of Owego, or traveling with her
baskets in tho suburbs or along the
country road.
"Thus the summer wore away, and the
autumn was two-thirds spent when the
distracted woman came upon her missing
child last Friday night, in a lonely, wild
spot, away up in a mountain wilderness,
five miles from Canton, Pa. On that
occasion she was accompanied by an
officer, and the child was at once legally
secured. A Mrs. Xiffius, who was keep
ing it, made no objections to parting with
the little girl, but appeared very much
concerned about gettiug her pay for her
board for three mouths, on which she had
not received a cent.
"The little girl, Minnie, is ten years
old, and is Mrs. Adams' child by adoption.
She is the daughter of Mrs. Adams'
brother, Martin Snooks. Snooks some
time ago parted from his wife, and she,
who is the mother of Miunie, became
insane over domestic trouble. Mrs. Adams
then adopted the child (or the purpose
of affording it a home, simply as a matter
of duty, and not from love to the child.
She became so much attached to the child,
however, that when her brother got
another housekeeper, and wanted the
child again, Mrs. Adams would not give
her up. Snooks resorted to stealing the
child, but was forced by the courts to
restore it.
"Mrs. Adams, having secured the child,
is now preparing to prosecute those en
gaged in kiduappiug it. In her long
search and wanderiugs she came in
possesion of much valuable information
for the trial. She has learned that the
child was probably coaxed away from her
home in Scranton by a notorious dress
maker of that city, assisted by a woman
from Syrncuse. At Dinghampton she
was placed in charge of a seamstress, who
secreted her four days and then sent her
to Greene. From Greene tho child was
taken to Elmira, and from there to the
lonely, unfrequented and unvisited cabin
on tiie Canton mountain. The cabin is
three miles from a school, and a great
distance from any neighbor, and, as Mrs.
Adams said, Whe child learned nothing,
good or bad.'
"At the time the child was stolen,
Snooks waa living at Whitney's Point,
and was employed by his brother as
engineer in the sash and door factory. In
consequence of this affair, and other
scandals, he was discharged, and is uow
living in Eluiira. He never went to visit
the child once while it was kept upon
the mountain, and, according to the
woman who boarded it, ho did not pay a
cent to keep it from etraving.
"Mrs. Adams went to Syracuse last
evening, to ascertain tho truth of some
important rumors about the women us
petted of taking the child froru its law
ful houie.".
A female lecturer suys that the only
deceut thing ubout Adatu was a rib, and

A MURDEROUS ASSAULT IN COURT.
three sons attempt to revenge
their father's death attemt to
kill a prisoner in the dock:
Philadelphia,- October 2S. While
Judges Paxson and Ludlow were on the
bench in the Oyer and Terminer Court
to day, a striking episode took place.
The case on trial was that of James
Kingsmill, charged with the murder of
Fr ancis Maloue. James L. Neveriu was
addressing the jury on the part of the de
fence, and urging with a fair show of sue
cess that his clieut had struck the fatal
blow io self defense. The prisoner was
likely to be acquitted even of the charge
of manslaughter, the minor offense, for
which alone the Commonwealth was pres
sing, and was sitting in the inclosed dock
with a satisfied expression on his face,
when a young man was seen to pass up
the main aisle, which is closed by the
back of the dock aud opens into the space
occupied by the lawyers and jury. The
stranger stood against trie railing of the
gateway, and it was thought by an obser
vant juror that his fixed and vindictive
gaze at the prisoner, who sat a little dis
tance off, had more significance in it than
that of ti mere looker on. He called the
attention of one of the officers of the court
to the man. The tipstaff addressed the
usual questions to the stranger as to whe
ther he was a juror or a member of the
bar, and the reply being in the negative,
told him lie must go back and take his
seat or go out. Refusing, the officer
climbed down out of his seat by the dock
and opened the gate wuh a view to pass
in out and compelling the intruder to
take his seat, when with a bound and a
vicious push the young man sprang past
the official through the gate, dashed
round to the rail of the dock, and, with a
3ell of rage grasped the prisoner, who had
his back to him, by the collar with one
hand and with tho ther whipped out a
villainous looking dagger from his bosom,
and made a terrible luuge with it at his
would be victim's thro'it. Ilis rage was
so great, however, that the swift blow
struck wide of its mark, ami expended it
self iu the air. He had thrown the whole
force of his strength into the attempt, and
before he could recover for a secoud blow,
a second officer seized his upraised arm
and with the assistance of other trp staves
forced the murderous assailant away, still
kicking aud struggling with the strength
aud viciousness of a madman. The pris
oner sprang terrified over the railing of
his dock and couched trembling under
the Judge's desk. Meanwhile the in
furiated assailant engaged in a fearful
struggle with the officers, brandishiug his
weapon and shrieking imprecations and
threats at the poor prisoner. While the
struggle was going ou, auothcr young man
was seen to come up and join in it against
the officers and take the knife away, and
it was then Iost sight of. lie too was ar
rested, as was a third man who had made
a demonstration.
The most intense excitement prevailed
in the court room, which was crowded to
excess by those interested in the pending
murder trials, and all was in confusion;
the Judges' voices trying to restore order
were unheeded. Inquiry brought out
the facts that the three men arrested were
sons of the deceased, for whose murder
the prisoner was on trial. John, Henry,
and Francis Malone were their names
Johu was the wiclder of .the dagger,
Henry snatched the weapon away, and
Fraucis concealed it. Commitments were
made out aod the three brothers were
scut to the couuty prison. The motive
for all this arises in the revenge felt by
the three sons of the deceased man against
the alleged murderer, for whom his couo
scl, it was plain to be seen, was about to
secure an acquittal, as the result of the
trial subsequently proved.
The jury subsequently brought in a
verdict of "Not Guilty." Tho whole
Malone family are fighting men, and the
deceased had served a term of imprison
mcnt, many years ago, for the crime of
murder in the second degree. The ac
quitted man was so alarmed by the threats
made against him that he asked to be
sent to prison.

City vs. Country Boys.
It is a mistaken idea to suppose that
the small boy of the city is more wicked
than the rural lad ; that he is, in fact,
such a bad fellow that when placed be
side his country consin the. latter appears
a shining saint. Such an opinion has ob
tained for all time, and possibly will for
all time to come. Rut it is libel upsn
the children of the street, and has uo
foundation io fact. We intend to explode
this buble, and have justice done to our
gamins. It is true that they are very
wicked and they play in the gutters, pick
pockets, po in swimming from the pier
heads, throw stones at each other, break
windows, steal mats, get up behind cabs,
and perform many other freaks of like
nature Uut is that any reason -why we
should paint them with the sombre brush
of condemnation, and pat the boys of tho
fields upon the bead, and hunt in our
pockets for pence to bestow upon them ?
The popular idea of tho rural boy is very
wretty as a mental picture. lie is iu
dustrious, aud carries his littlp h.m n fi:.!.?
with which to touch up the sprouting
corn, ne is studious to a fault, and it is
a favorite habit of his to sit up all night
aud read Latin books on astronomy by The
light of a pine torch. We never wit
nessed this operatiou, but have it on good
authority that it is looked at as the 'cor
rect thing for the country boy to do. No
sluggard is he ; but when the first fiuh
crimsons the Eastern sky he bounds from
his bed, pulls on his jean trowsers and
rawhide boots and goes to work in the
stables or at chopping wood. In the win
ter he walks ten miles through the suow
to school, aud draws his little sister upou
his sled. In time he comes to his own
farm, then he marries, builds a church,
becomes a justice of the peace, dies, and'
is buried in the village churchyard, a
hundred-dollar tombstone informing a
passiug world, in a very expensive man
ner, of his many virtues. This is what
the country boy is supposed to be, but
we kuow the statement to be a swindle.
As we have often seen him, he was si
adept in all sorts of mischief. Dog fights
are his delight; a circus his heaven- To
get into the circus, he will appropriate
money that was intended for the conver
sion of some little heathen boy; and that
scheme failing, he will crawl under ths
tent. It is a grim satisfaction to know
that he is often punished for this sin. In
one instance the performing elephant ac
cidentally stepped on three little boys
who were squirming in, and mashed thcui
so that their different parents were at a
loss to fell which was which, and so bad
to shake their names up in a hat, and
draw for it. When such sad scenes aro
possible, is it well to claim superiority for
the boy of the country ?
