OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, lOh
when we were wlthlu -a 'couple of
hours' journey of our intended halting
place, Woody aud 1 struck off on foot
for a hunt. Just before sunset we
came on three or four elk; u spike bull
stood for a moment behind some thick
evergreens a hundred yards off. Guess
ing at his shoulder, I lired, and he fell
dead after running a few rods. I had
broken the luck,, after ten days of ill

All these elk-trails have one striking
peculiarity. They lead through thick
timber, but' evay now and then send
off short, well-worn branches to some
cliff-edge or jutting crag, commanding
a view far and wide over the country
beneath. Elk love to stand on these

Blue grouse rose from beside our
path; Clarke's crows flew past us,
with a hollow, flapping sound, or lit
In the pine-tops, calling and flirting
their tails; the gray-clad whisky-Jacks,
with multitudinous cries, hopped and
fluttered near us. Snow-shoe rabbits
scuttled away, the big furry feet
which give them their name already
turning white, it last we came out
oil the great plateau, seamed with
deep, narrow ravines. Reaches of
pasture alternated with groves and
open forests of varying size. Almost
Immediately we beard the bugle of a
bull elk, and saw a big band of cows
and calves on the other side of a val
ley. There were three bulls with
them, one very large, and we tried
to creep up on them; but the wind
was baffling and spoiled our stalk. So
we returned to our horses, mounted
them, and rode a mile farther, toward
a large open wood on a hill-side. When
within two hundred yards we heard
directly ahead the bugle of a bull,
and pulled up short In a moment I
saw him walking through an open
glade; he had not seen us. The slight
breeze brought us down his scent Elk
have a strong characteristic smell; It
Is usually sweet, like that of a herd
of Aklerney cows; but In old bulls,
while rutting, it is rank, pungent, and
lasting. We stood motionless till the
bull was out of sight, then stole to
the wood, tied our horses, ajid trotted
after him. He was traveling fast oc
casionally calling; whereupon others
In the neighborhood would answer.
Evidently he had been driven out of
some herd by the master bull.
He went faster than we did, and
while we were vainly trying to over
take hlra wo heard another very loud
and sonorous challenge to our left. It
came from a rldge-crest at the edge of
the woods, among some scattered
clumps of the northern nut-pine or
plnyon a queer conifer, growing very
high on the mountains, its multiforked
trunk and wide-spreading branches
giving it the rounded top, and, at a
distance, the general look of an oak
rather thai) a plue. We at once walked
toward the ridge, up-wlnd. In a min
ute or two, to our chagrin, we stum
bled on an outlying spike bull, evident
ly kept on the outskirts of the herd by
the master bull, I thought he would
alarm all the rest; but, as we stood mo
tionless, he could not Bee clearly what
we were. lie stood, ran, stood again,
gazed at us, and trotted slowly off.
I peered over the crest.
We hurried forward as fast as we
dared, and with too little care; for we
suddenly came lu view of two cows.
As they raised their heads to look,
Woody squatted down where he was,
to keep their attention fixed, while I
cautiously tried to slip off to one side
unobserved. Favored by the neutral
tint of my buckskin huutliig-shlrt, with
which my shoes, htKglua, and soft hat
matched, I succeeded. As soou as I
was out of sight I ran hard nud came
up to a hillock crested with plnyons,
behind which I Judged I should find
the herd. As I approached the crest,
their strong, sweet smell smote my
nostrils. In another moment 1 saw the
tips of a pair of mighty antlers, and I
peered over ihe crest with my rifle at

' the ready. Thirty yards off, behind
a clump of plnyons, stood a huge bull,
bis bead thrown back as be rubbed bis
shoulders with his horns. There were
several cows around him, and one saw
me immediately, and took alarm. 1
flred Into the bull's shoulder, Inflicting
a mortal wound; but he went off, and
I raced after hlra at top speed, firing
twice Into his flank;- then he stopped,
very sick, and I broke bis neck with a
fourth bullet An elk often hesitates
in the first moments of surprise and
fright, and does not get really under
way for two or three hundred yards;
but, when once fairly started, he may
go several miles, even though mortally
wounded; therefore, the hunter, after
his first shot, should run forward as
fast as he can, and shoot again and
again until the quarry drops. In this
way many animals that would other
wise be lost are obtained, especially
by the man who has a repenting
rifle. The elk I thus slew was a giant
His body was the size of a steer's,
and his antlers, though not unusually
long, were very massive and heavy.
He lay in a glade, on the edge of a
great cliff. Standing on Us brink we
overlooked a most beautiful country,
the home of all homes for the elk: a
wilderness of mountains, the Immense
evergreen forest broken by park and
glade, by meadow and pasture, by
bare hlll-slde and barren table-land.
Some five miles off lay the sheet of
water known to the old hunters as
Spotted Lake; two or three shallow,
sedgy places, and spots of geyser for
mation, made pale green blotches on
Its wlnd-rlppled surface. Far to the
southwest, In daring beauty and maj
esty, the grand domes and lofty spires
of the Tetons shot into the blue
sky.
That night, as on more than one
iflght afterward, a bull elk came down
whistling to within two or three hun
dred yards of the tents, and tried to
Join the horse herd. The moon had
set, so I could not go after It Elk are
very restless and active throughout
tbo night In the rutting Bedson; but
where undisturbed they feed freely In
the daytime, resting for two or three
hours about noon.
Next day, which was rainy, we spent
In .getting In the antlers and mqat of
the two dead elk; and I shot off the
heads of two or three blue grouse on
the way home. The following day 1
killed another bull elk, following him
by the strong, not unpleaslng, smell,
and hitting him twice as he ran, at
about eighty yards. So far I had had
good luck, killing everything I had
shot at; but now the luck changed,
through no fault of mine, as far as I
could see, and Ferguson had his in
nings. The day after I killed this
bull he shot two fine mountain rams;
and during the remainder of our hunt
he killed five elk one cow, for meat,
and four good bulls. The two rams
were with three others, all old and
with line horns; Fergusou peeped over
a lofty precipice and saw them com?
Ing up It only fifty yards below him.
Ills two first and finest bulls were ob
tained by hard running and good
shooting; the herds were on the move
at the time, and only his speed of foot
and soundness of wind enabled him
to get near enough for a Bhot. One
herd started before he got close, and
ho killed the master bull by n shot
right through the heart, as it trotted
pnst, a hundred and fifty yards dis
tant. As for me, during the next ten days
I killed nothing save one cow for meat;
and this though I bunted hord every
day from morning till night, no matter
what the weather. Our 111 success was
In part due to sheer bad luck; but the
chief element therein was tbo presence
of n great hunting-party of Khoshoue
Indians. Split Into bauds uf eight to
ten each, they scoured the whole coun
try on their tough, sure-footed ponies.
As they slew whatever they could, but
by preference cows and calves, snnd as
they were very persevering, but also
very excltnblo and generally poor shots,
so that they wasted much powder, they
not only wrought havoc among tho elk,
but also scared the survivors out of all
the country over which they hunted.
Day In aud day out we plodded on.
In a hunting trip the days of long mo
notony lu getting to the ground, and
the days of unrequited toll after It has
been reached, always far outnumber
the red-letter days of success. Hut It Is
Just these times of failure that really
test the hunter. In the long run, coiu-moii-sonsu
and dogged perseverance
avail hlin more than any other quali
ties. Tlio niau who does not give up,
but hunts steadily and resolutely
through the spells of bad luck until the
luck turns, Is the man who wins suc
cess lu the eud.
After a week at Two Ocean Puss, we
gathered our pack-nnlmals one frosty
morning, and .again sot off across the
mountains. A two-days' Jaunt took us
to the summit of Wolverine Pass, near
Plnyon Peak, beside a little mountain
lam; each morning we found Its sur
face skimmed with Mack Ice, for the
nights were cold. After three or four
days, we shifted camp to the mouth of
Wolverine Creek, to get off the hunting
grounds of the Indians. We had used
up our last elk-meat that morning, snd
It hain't no use to grumble and com
plain; It's Jest as cheap and easy to rejoice,
When God sorts out the weather and
sends rain,
Why, rain's my choice.

Prisoners Break Jail.
John Bowers and Arthur Clarbjftwo
orisoners in the. county nail, gained
their liberty Thursday night in a
novel manner. The puir were in the
same cell, and by heating the broken
handle of a frying pan or skillet and
pressing it against the woodwoork,
they succeeded in horning off the
bourds and, making a hole eighteen
inches square through the ceiling of
the jail and tho floor of the comity
assessor's office and jumping out of
tho window of this office, they suo
ceeded in making good their escape.
Misses Edith and Leitha Jackson, two
employees! in the county assessor's
office, worked at the office on the
night of the delivery, going over some
hooks, and doing a good deal of type
writing, and they heard peculiar
noises under the floor, but supposed
that these were made 'by rats. One
thing, iioweter, which attracted the
notion of botli of the young ladies was
the tact that, whenever they Btopped
running the typewriters the nuise
stopped also. They thought this very
strange at the time, but dismissed it
from thoir minds. The authorities
were in ignorance of the jail break
till about ti o'clock Friday morning,
when the other prisoners attracted the
attention of Peter Nehreu, the oourt
house jauitor, by shouting nntil lie
found out the trouble.' Sheriff Beut
tiu was notified at once, and a rigid
searoh at once began for the jail

No wonder. Their trouble lies far
