A cattle funeral may seem an odd
thing to write abouK but it ia:"ten times
more sad .to . witness. If the observe?
happens to be on foot .in . the vicinity of
the scene of . the- ceremony, however, ha
is -apt to find it anything but odd, unless
there be a tree or some other place of
refuge convenient; or the curiona onlook
er be unusually fleet of foot.
But uoubtlesa the 'average reader does
not know 'what a cattle funeral is like,
and perhaps is not vaKlined to give credit
to the possible existence of such a thing.
If he has never lived in a locality where
cattle of a more or less untamed disposi
tion are wont to range, he will certainly
never have uiul aaopportHuity;tOT learn
by observation any; of the peculiar and
notable u facta - connected , with f this . re
markabie pbetioxtienOq of' the range.-:
' A caUle fiiiieral, then, iff nothing oiore
or 4es-than exaetlv what the words seem
to indicate a ceremony of morning over
the untimely fate of a reparted herd-
mate, in which every individual member
of the band- that is wfthinjong range ear
or nosevhot is bound to participate. In
detail this ceremony consists of a sort of
walk, -around, accompanied with the
inoRtr doleful, eatv piercingn and t heart
rending- moans, shrieks! and be11owings
and-varied by ponderous pawkigs-in the
ground and the most singularly dexter
ous -Hinginspv. of the resaltant dust -upon
the twefca of the tour footed morners.
To observe or participate in a cattle
funeral 'let Vthecurioua minded go out
upon the range,' select some spot which
is open and affords no obstruction to the
view, and from which no "critter" is to
sight ' ' '
H.aviug"8elected such a spot, let one of
the-"critters" be brought quietly and se
cretly from a distance, and without un
due ostentation, as becomes poachers
upon another man's range, let hiin lie
done to death. Let the offal be secreted
where even the coyotes cannot finil ; it.
and - let - the- bide ami flesh be carried
carefully- away. . Then let earth be
thrown yti the- blood stains to hide all
traces of disturbance, and let this all lie
doue so well that even the human eye
can detect nothing that wouM reveal
what had been done.

spot "where, the slaughter of the day
previous; occurred, -The : leader of the

farther, from the scene of blood. Sud

uneasiness. Though the grass be deep
and luxuriant be only feeds a few mo
ments continuously, lifting his head and
tossing his horns as if an enemy was
near.
Suddenly there, is a .strong puff of.
wind, and as the' nostril of the- leader:
inhale the air a transformation occurs
like flash -of ; lightmBg-.-. He haltw.
throws his muzzle into the air and then
emits 4 a. ' most'1 unearthly,-prolonged, .
weird, moaning shriek or bellow, it .is
like none of -the various noises made
npon other occasions, but has a tone
that is ail its own and which is evidently
well understood by the entire herd.
With, another ..shriek, which c-au lie
heard for a mile and '.even further,- the
leader breaks' into a rent, with his tail in
the air and with his head shaking an
grily from side to side, followed by all
the inembers of the herd, each adding tq
the volume -of sound that now fills the
air. As other animals feeding quietly
at a distance hear the peculiar sounds
they, too, prick up their ears, then with
answering shrieks they gallop wildly
toward the excited band and join it in
pursuit of the leader. "" ' . :
A TERRIFIC SCENE, . ,-
That animal quickly arrives at the.
telltale spot.. He snuffs at the ground,
meanwhile lashing his sides with,his tail
and bellowing continually in ajnanner
that suggests the height of rage. ' His
eyes flash wildly, the froth, drops from
his jaws and flecks his neck and body.
He paws the ground angrily with his.
hoofs, and by dexterous twisting man
ages to cast, great masses of the earth
into the air and upou his back.'. -V
The others come racing up and crowd
closely about the Bpot where their mate
was slain. An inner circle is formed by
the excited animals, 'with their heads all
pointing to a common center, and these,
bellow and paw" the ground - and race
around and around until exhausted.
Meanwhile the others are circling rapid
ly about the central cluster and finally
displace the earlier arrivals, whereupon
they too go through the same perform
ance. . - '
The scene is a terrific one. Horns are
clashed against horns, the bellowing of
that angry -animals is deafening, the air
is tilled with-dust,; the beasts seem actu
atedeach'by some particular malevo
lent, tfipixgit, and their actions appear
prompted almost by human understand-
. . Occasionally, the scene, of bloodshed
will be discovered iby some -wandering
"critter" who has that portion of the
range to? biiiiself temporarily. There
may be lip:v' other "cttie 'withm; rwo or
ftthree iniles. -yet- the lone mourner will
commence' the procedare-Vral ready de
scribed, and within a quarter or half an
hour be will have been joined by others,
while inside of an hour there will be. a
dense mass Of excited cattle on the spot;
and from the range in -every direction
others' will be seen hurrying to the
scene. ... ' . . ..'
