Y “OLD PIZEN.” The Fighting Horse Stanislaus, . of the A Rominiscence of the Envly Mining Lifo of Senator Joues, of Nevadn, From the Virginia Cily (Nev) Enlerprise, In tho:oarly duys, many yoars ago. Sonator Jonea was ongoaged in mining on the Stanfsinus River, Califoraln, at a place eallod Cherokeo Flat. It was & emall camp, containing searcely moro thon a dozen habitations, all told, Tho most im- poslng structure in tho onmp was a boarding- bonse, owned by s Mr. Joggles, s Missourian. T'his Jogglos waa & man of spotting proclivities. Ho owned o viclona-looking bull-dog, with but ono oy, whore noso was covered iith gears, aud whoso front teoth wero almay vieiblo, even whon in the most filendly mood, This dog ho was rondy to back agninat any dog on tho river fora fight. o also bad two or throo game roostors of whoso prowess ho was bonstful, But his os- pecidl glory and pride was his fghting horso, & largo, powerfully-muscled, and exceodingly vi- clous ** broucho,” which ke called ** Old Pizen," Aud “*pizon " ho was to all four-footed croatures in that reglon ; indeed, was so **mean" that he was almost poison to Limsell. T'bis florce and unnocial beast has taken pos- acesion of o Inrge grassy flag, about hsif o mile above tho camp, snd would allow no other ni- nual to come upon what hio viewed as his private dorunin; nor, for the mattor of that, to como anywhera noar the camp, At Cherokea Flat, the old broncho was monach of all he surveyed. Ho had whipped ond run off every auimal that had over beon brought to the camp, The miners goveral times swore vengeauco against * 0Old Pizon,” and would have elot him, but that thoy Jiked Joggles, and tho soul of Joggles dolighted in 0Jd Pizen, therofore thoy lot him live. Not conteut with conquering intruders, the old broucho would chase thom for miles, ruuning them clear out of the couutry. The momout ho g0y & strange auimal ho Tnid back hls oars and went for him, neivg both beols and teoth. “Alout all this Joggles didn’tcare a cont. When tald of oro of the anloim of the animal he would laugh ingpite of himself, and would aweur that Old'Pizon was tho #1GGEST FIOHTIN' 10SS ON THE STANISLAUS,” and that ho would * baek him agin suy ertter that over woro har.,” He would telt how a big Awmerican horso chased awav by Old Pizou wag fourd forty miles distaut with ‘bis tail gnawed off to n more siump. When ho thouglt of the comi¢al apposravco the maimed horse must have prosentod with bis littla stump of a tail, Jogglen would Jaugh till tears would run down Jus chools, "o fame of tho “fighting horse ” extended for milos nround tho camp. ~Prospoctors pogse ing that way with pook animals were warned aguinst him,” © Bowaro of tho fightiug horo!" wus tho word through all that sootion of the coutry. Sonwora, the county scat of Tuolumne County, was tho source wuoiice the minors at Cherokee Tt drew thoir supplics of “grub aud other necesgaries, Tho town was fifteon or twenty miles distant, and the mivors would oncnmauall{ o up thero, order what thoy wanted, aud have It *packed " down to thelr cabing. One dav J, P, Jones and ouoe of his partnors wout up to Souora to procure Bupplies for their compnny, known o8 tho “Buckeys." ‘They ro- maliied ovat aight Ln ‘fown, Intouding o rotura tho noxt day. In tho morning, eoon after they arose, thoy hieard o terrible commotion in & liv- ery stablo” just across the street from their ho- tol. lluuniug over to ascortain tho onuse, they found that A DIG SPANISI JACKABS Liad fonnd his way into the stable through a rear door, and was on the war-path among the hoises, Ho had cloaned out soveral stalls almost at a dash, and then renched that occupied by a pow- erful black statlion, Here he found work to do. As Jones and partner ontersd a furious batilo was raging, tho borso using his hools and the jack lnk teoth., The horse bolog coufined by a Bstrong halter, tho jack bad rathor tho vest of it. After” tearing aud mangling the flanks of tho horso frightfally, tho furious jack, unmindful of tho blows the stablomon were raining upon his back, suddenly orowdod himself forward in the stail and seized tho horso by theundor-lip, Hero he hield on like # bull-dog, fhe poor Lotso qaive criug i overy mueclo aud moating iz agony. Ot of the proprictors of tho ftable diow his revolver and was about to shoot the savage aus, when his owner arrived and a fiorce wraugle en- sued. The ownor of the fighting jack drew his pistol, and for a timo 1t Jooked 28 thongh there was likoly to be *“a man for breakfast,” Tinnlly, howover, the ownor of tho jack suc- cecded in geltivg Lim away from the trembling nn% :nnng\cd horse, and drove him' out of the. stuble. 1t now ocourred to Mr. Joncs that thers was en anioal that would make Old Pizen BIOK AT THE STOMACH, Aword of this thought to Lis partner, and they agreed, if possible, to socure tho fighting Juckass, Following the ownor of the jack, they #oon camse to sn understanding with him, '‘Thoy wero told that the {lwk was & good pack animai, and a8 quiol a8 n lamb when po horsea wore sbont. When he cunie whero_there wero horses bis whole nature chianged, and ho went for them with the fury of a tiger. Tho jnck boing au un- usunlly powerful apimal, the ownor asked 375 for him, Jonos and partnor agreed to run bim o brip on trinl, and gavo the owner 75, which ba was to keop in case the jack returned within & certuin timo. Having secuired the fishflng jack, Jonea and partsor packed him and started home in hign fouthor, Ay soon 88 ho was out of town, the jack bocamo as docllo aud loepy 2y avy other old *burro™ that ever trotted s trail. Before getting home tho boast became absolutely lazy, and Jones & Co. began to foar that off his own glullghill tholr jack wag of no nccouut ng a ighior. % "1t was about sundown whon the mou renched Cherolieo I'lat and drove up to tho door of the * Buckeyo Compauy’s eabin,” The partnors had fquit work and come up from the bar, Thoy were gelting supper, but, 10r & time, discontinod the work uf frying bacon aud bskiug wlap-jacks to come out und ask “J, P." and compauion how thev came by tho big dunko{. In as fow words as possible Jones wade them acquainted with the churaotor of the boast. Witou be Iind finishod his accouut of the sceue ab the livory-stable, overy msu of tho Buckoyo Company was firmly convinced that the big javk could *“walk the log" of OId Nick hiwsolf; but MUM WAS IHE WORD. No hint of the fighting_ qualities of the animel was to go out of the cabin, Lrosontly Joggles, whose boarding-house wag Juut across the sirect, espied the jaokass, and catuo uver to whers he was being wnpacied, A emila struggled about the corners of his moutls a6 he canc, : ‘Walking up to the beast and oyeing him from stom (o steru for a time, Jogglys said : "l."l;xrty good chuuk of a jnckass, Bin buyin' i 7 “Wall,” snid Jones, * I don’t know.

All wag now oxeitomont among tho mon, and twoor threo of thom woro constantly on the rivor-bank listoning for sounds of the fray. Proscutly they oriod out that THE BATTLE HAD DEGUN. All hands hastened to tho top of tho high, stoop bauk, wheuce was to bo bad a fair view of Lo opeu’ ground loading up 4o the rdgo, boyond which loy the #lab whero roamod the fighting horso, Although bnlf o milo distant a terrible squenling and binyiug could be distinotly beard —ocrioy of rags and pain from the contondiog animals. A “groat cloud of red dust could be soen rising from the ridge. This cloud, that told of tho battle, moved to and fro; some- times appearing to_approach quito nearto the crest of the ridgo, thon again to recedo. All this timo thoro was heard tho most fearful squenling and braying imaginaple—sometimos very dis- tivotly, again mora fawtly, as the varyiug broeze walted tho sounds or aa the sceno of the battle shuteed, - Looking toward tho camp, Joggles was seen, jumping up aud down, aud runtiug frantically about, evidently intensely excited. Soon ha was observed to got & ladder, and mount the roof of his poreh, and thence to clinib to tho top of his houss, vainly strateling out his neck to obtain u view of the fight. Now the cloud of duat was seon to rapidly ap- proach the orest of the Tidge, and soon it cama whirllug overit. ‘Thon were soon two douse clouds of dust, both rotling rapidly in tho direc~ tiou of the camp, WL snorts and hoaree brays wero heara, Bwiftly tho red clouds rolled on, and sgon in the foremoat tho form of an auimal could be seon. A puff of wind showed this to bo the broncho—Old Pizon, At tho dis- tanco of threoor four bundred yards bebind rolled. & tupldiy-following cloud, 68 we have ‘somatimes ncen two small whirlwinds in plagful mood, What was in this last cloud could nat ba soon, but the *“ Buckoye boys" felt thub their Jackass was thar! Down iuto - tho camp charged the terrified Lraucho, SNORTING WITH FEAR AT EVERY JUMP, and occaslonally bnlf turning his hoad in order to sco if the terrivlo jack was etill in pursuit, As tho fiantic horse tore through the camp with nostile distouded, mane fying in the wind, and tail ticking oat " atraight” bobiud, Jogglos wus heard shouting wildly from the roof of his house, “Whon, Pizen! wbos, Pizon!" But fust ot that moment thero was' no * whoa i 1d Pizen, Down through all the little town ho camo—making direotly for the Lar, as though in soerch of human assistance. Straighit on he came till ho yenched the bank of the river, hero fully 20 feet in l)lulpoul:liuulnr Loight. At the bridk he halted, hesitating to take tho fearful leap, aud with oyes starting from their sockety, took one long despairing loolc bebind, Then camo the venomous and indomitablo jackass, nover broaking hia toady, rolling gallop. ‘With outstrotohed ncok, cars lald baok, and soant fail whippmg up and down with “encl bound, ou heesme.
