Tim Hennessey of Inuiau Creek, who
was in town last Saturday, tells us that
his l'J-year-old sttfpsou. Tommy Wallace,
killed two deer thn Kauday lefore in a
remarkablo maimer. Tho lioy, while
hunting iu the mountain:, near Iudiun
Creek, shot a largr; buck und killed it at
the first fire. Just as tho slain deer fell
another buck pnaculud itself right along
side tbo dead one. Yonu Wallace,
thinking ho hud won lanruls enough for
a boy in one day, concluded not to shoot
again. But when ho started to get his
game, wliut was hw surprise to see this
one ulso fall to thu ground, and when he
reached the spot he found two dead deer.
He had shot them both at the first fire.
The bullet which went through the neck
of the first had crtcTcd tho breast of the
accoud doer. Trinity Journal.

To old time cowboy ia no more. Be
fio.tscd in his checks with tbo free grass
enstcm. The big pasture has intro
duced a new order of cowboy, Tho sleeps
in a honse and "olx ys ardors" or quits.
Tho old cowboy was the companion of
bis boss and shr.red bis pleasures and
bin hardships.
xo manager in this Ue headquarter
tockhorso reminded him of his inferior
rank in society, nor did any of the mod-c-rn
ranch accossuiics mar tlic common
dangers, the plcasnres and the freedom
and cqonlity of tho whilom cowboy and
coaarmah. ' Dnt the r; nch in the olden
time was a Cottonwood lohonso to
rook in, and for roof and protection
from tbo weather the slicker was used,
end mother enrth supplied their beds.
The brond rnn,e and the overhanging
sky answered for house and home. A

Ly w ire fences, lint tho lwys galloicd out
of enmp after breakfast, mado a wide
sweep, and all then drove toward a
common center, nnd lot directly at that
point was gathered a herd of utock cat
le of all brands, ready for tho -cut to
bepin.
Tbo.liigh toned man w.mb tabooed. I
tememlx-r audi a man appeared at the
ranch of i. T., in Sbacklvford county,
in 1800. He Was a city fellow, and
would say "Thank yon" end snch like.
Ills intenso pulitcnc&s and high toned
nonsense Aggravated tho boys mightily.
Jim B. iu particular jmor fellow
was especially fretted by his nonsense,
as he called it, and tried to ridicule it
cut of him, but in vain. At last bis
resentment ripened into genuine hatred
end it was bard to keep tho jienco be
tween them, for the city fellow bad
giit too.
Wi ll, one morning in 1SC0, at Monn
tain pass, in Taylor connty, long before
any one lived in that sccticni Jim got
awfully mad and gave tho city fellow a
cussing, whereupon a row resulted and
blodMhcd Was barely prevented there
und then. Wo got thecitv fellow torido
eff, nnd it lookd like peace had tctnrn
cd, but one hour later dun B. and bis
nmiablo enemy met oft i.t one Mdo of
the ronndnp. I happened to !? near. In
a flash the city chap ran lefore Jim,
dismounted, leveled his gnn on him end
demanded nn ajiology :r death.
Jim jerki-d out two l is tdiotrters, Vnt
raid nothing, nnd instantly tho city
fellow fired. Poor Jim rolled off his
horse a dead man. I gt to them jnst
as Jim fed. Ho died instantly, shot
through tho heart. His slaye r mounted
bis horse mid "lit oat." Wo buried
Jim and went &i with our herd, two
tnpn short.-1 nt with no discordant ele
ment among us.
i?ueb was the old wav. The bovs were

Away back in the thirties congress pur
