In the wildest portion of the‘west, 71 'mi’es nonb-wrst of Meeker. where. in 1879. the Utes massacred the Meeker family and ei'ery one at the agency. is the most wonderful cattle ranch in the world. Within a space oi fire miies in length and three miles in width roams a herd upon whose sides the branding iron has never been placed and around whose horns the laiiat has nevir tight- ened. But a more or even t'cwor ol them have chr SUCH 3 [112”) or hor~e or Other animal of their kind. and, in fact, their kin, except at a distance ot nearly 600 feet ahoVe them. Ute Indians call them “ p'checkup." or red bufltlo And yet if an Indian who has seen them should be asked about it he would laugh and shake his head, and all the information obtainable would be, " P'- check-up; 'cm red; no ketch 'em." There are more than 1,000 of this herd, and yet no man owns them, nor is there a man. white, or black or cop per colored, who has ever been able to possess a single hoof of these fat and tempting beeves. The cattle are in prison. Out of it there is one method of escape, but to travel that road means death to the adventurous one. There is no way to get in, except it be by use of a rope 1,000 feet in length. As the Indians say: “ Ilcap see ’cm; no ketch ’em; no come away." On the two sides of the oblong space in which these cat- tle roam. riso precipitous and even con- cave rocks for 500 or 600 feetâ€"yawn- ing, black and insurmountable. At either end soothes and rushes tho Yam- pa or Bear river. For miles above and miles below it plunges and stumbles on in its headlong haste to reach the arm of its parent, the scarcely less tumultuâ€" ous but deeper Green river. Like the wonderful flat top mountain of Colorado, this home of the imprisoned herd has no likeness in the world. It recalls in its inaccessibility the marvellous stories of the valley of verdure into which Mayne Reid's adventurers only found their way by the assistance ofa balloon. The story of the way in which these cattle came there is as strange as their existence is curious. Over twenty years uuo, when the G0vernment troops were pursuing the Mormon murderers oi the innocent victims of the Mountain Mea- dow massacre, the Danites. or Avenging Angels of the Mormons, fled for their lives into what was then literally the wilderness. A few of those who had been the blindest followers of Leo, the Mormon fiend incarnate, whose hands were red with the blood of women and children. found in their wanderings a pretty valley or stream which flotvs from the Wasatch range into the Green river. They stuck their stakes, built their camp-fires and during the night their sagacious leader had a vision, which told him there to stay. They could hardly have chesen in all Utah :1 more fertile or more isolated spot. They call- ed it Ashley, and about. them have since gathered more of their sect until, where the refugees posted their pickets on the lonely nights of the. first summer, there has grown a thriving village. It is 140 miles from the Union Pacific railroad south, and 145 miles north of the Rio Graudc Western. Until within a few years past it has been isolated entirely, but now it is but sixty miles from the lite reservation. and furnishing supplies for the agency forms quite a business ior the community. It is a tenet of the Danites that rob- bing or theft from a Gentile is no crime. So it. was thought to be only a cunning trick when John Wycliffe, one of the Mormon settlers of the new town, and his two sons made a night sortie on llcnry's ford in Wyoming and carried away 800 head of cattle ranging there. This was in 1874. The owners of the cattle discovered their loss a few days after they were gone and started in pur- suit. The thieves and the stolen herd had reached a mess of inviting grass at sundown one day. and halted to camp for the night. A terrific storm arose; the lightning flashed incc3santly, and the thunder pealcd and cracked with in- ttrmitling fury. The four men despe- rately held the terror-stricken cattle by riding around them constantly and chanting some weird tune. But the fearful wildness of the storm excited the btutes beyond measure. They surg- ed and ground, every momeutgrowing less subject to control. All at once, as it by one mad impulse. they stampeded. John \Vycklitl'e and his sons met their late amid the lightning‘s glare and the, thumlcr’s roar 'l‘hcy endeavored to head «if thr stampt-ding herd. Instead, thev and their tones were swept on and «Liven, in their terror to escape the ,a charge of the mnddt-ncd animals, over the brink of the awful precipice which frou‘us up from the waters of the Bear. 5 After them plunged the whole fright. crazed herd, and down to the bottom of “w leurful fall went horses, riders and l...rned erratum. Ougof this strange pm"... of life to wliatwas seemingly . omit. death to all. a few of tho herdl were not killed. Those which had gone ahead formed a cushion of death. )lnimcd, Stunned. but still invested with a spark of life. when the dread storm was over the living cattle crawled out from the mass beneath them and formed a nucleus for the herd which now roams at will within its rocky con- fines. On the bank of the river, stretch- ing back a few hundred yards, grow succulent grasses, and upon this the cattle have propagated and thrived. Looking Over the edge of the precipiCe. one can see that they are small and as wild and agile as deer. They have been shot at to see the efi'ect, and have learned to regard the appearance of a man, whether Indian or white, as a menace from which they flee. ciambcr- ing over rocks and through underbrush in'the chase to a point of concealment The place where the thieves and their horses and the herd fell is plainly marked by a pyramid of bones, which rises to the height oi thirty feet. The ghastly reminder and relics of the hu- man and animal victims of the terrible leap shine forth white and glistening when the sun is high and reaches that spot with its full glare. The progeny of the surviving animals from the fall are fat and sleek. though, and have their sunny beds, deer-like, where they lie for warmth in the winter, and to them the monument of skeletons is no source of disquietude. There is no fierce moun- tain lion or more dangerous bear, nor, in fact, any other animate thing within this cow garden of Eden. As yet, too, no man has been able to reach or dis- turb themâ€"San Francisco Examiner. o..â€" She was a. Lady. t i l A short, broad-backed young man with hair the color of a parsnip and the honest sunburn of the cornfield on his face and hands walked into the office of a Detroit hotel one night ‘last week and wrote on the register in a. large and scrawly hand : “Jonas Bebee and lady, Michigan.” “She’s your wife, I suppose '2 ” quer~ ied the clerk, as he looked at the record. “ You bet! Bin my bride since nine o’clock this morning i ” “ Then you’d better put her down as your wife.” ‘ “ Jess as you say," replied Jonas, and he took the pen and made the entry to read: “Jonas Bebeo and wife, who is a lady.” , “ She’s a lady, is she ?” growled the clerk as be scanned the new record. “ You kin bet your last dollar she is,” heartily exclaimed the new-made hus- band. “ Yes, sir, you can gamble your last shilling that she’s a lady from tip to too. Is that entry all right now ? " “ Yes, it’ll do I guess.” “ Then gimme a room, and a domed good one, too, and we want beefsteak and mashed ’taters for supper. Yes, sir, she’s a real lady, Sarah is. and that's how I come to fall in love with her. Took her to a picnic, and while every other blamed woman ate punkin pic out of their hands she put hero on a chip and used a sliver fur a spoon ! You bet she’s a lady, and if you kctch her puttin’ her knife in her mouth at the table I’ll slap $2 on to the bill and never say a word."â€"Detroit Free Press. He Owned that Fly. It was on the/west-bound express over the Michigan Central the other afternoon. A fat man, who had been complaining of the heat, dust. rate of progress and many other things, finally decided to take a nap. Before getting settled down and closing his eyes he was seen by those nearest him to take an artificial fly from his vest pocket and place it on his nose, but it was a quar- ter of an hour before it attracted any attention. Then a woman looked back and noticed it and said to her husband: “Samuel, do you see that? You had better go and brush that fly 03 that poor man’s nose. It’s a wonder he can sleep with it, but I s’pose he's tired out." “ Yes. I guess I’ll do that much for him.” replied the man, and he arose and went back. The fly was quiet, and be advanced his thumb and finger and quietly picked it off and dropped it on the floor. “ Whaâ€"what is it? " asked the bald headed man as he roused up. “ A fly on your nose, sir." “ A fly. eh! Where is it? Ah! I see." He picked it up and replaced it on ’his nose and said : “Sir. I would thank you to mind your own business! This is my fly; I ' bought him for ten cents. Attend to your own fly and I will to mine i ” He leaned back for another nap, and ,nfter looking at him in a bewildered } way for half a minute the farmer re- turned to his wife. " What is it, Samuel ?" she asked. “ Nuthin'â€"nuthin’, ’ccpt if I had that fuller down in our tamarack swamp I'd maul him till he couldn't breathe for makin' a fool of me i " “ And now about company. I can’t have my cock entertaining visitors all the time." “ Well, mum, oi'll thry hard to discourage gintlemin, but oi can't help beio' more or less atthrlotive." Why Bother Looking Anywhere Else?
