OWAHA ])AHY BFE. FOLLOWING THE ELK. A Day's Hunting of the Antlored M n Colorado Mountains, “H d the guide, suddenly ting bolt upright in his blanket. He, the tendorfoot, and the second guide all listened intently, and there fell softly from some far height, through the still mountain air, an oft-repeated whistling call. It meant nothing to the tender- foot, but both guides exclaimed, 1k!" “There, up yonder!” said one of the guides, pointing toa high peak of the Flat Top range, now faintly touched with the tints of coming dawn. The eamp where the three men lay under the stars, their horses picketed near at hand, was beside the swift Williams Fork, in a green valley of Routt county, Colorado, nearly 5,000 feet above the sea lovel. The height, whence foll that sus call, rose snowy and pine-clad 2,000 or 3,000 feet higher, It still lacked more than an hour of sunise, writes a correspondent of the New York Sun, and one of the guides had to be dispatched down the valley to its solo farm house in seaveh of suppiies. 1t was, therefore, late in the morning before the tenderfoot and his two guides were climbing on brone) back toward the far line of the green timber. The plan was to go thus far with the horses, and, leaying them on the upper edge of the aspens, to_begin the hunt on foot with the aid of the trained dog, which was the fourth member of the party. The green timber, standing in decp snow and cumbered by many falien trees, is practically unfit for horsemen. One after another bare rock-crowned peaks and fav tree-clad or grassy valleys were unveiled to the travelers, The tender- {05, unused to the atmosphere of that high altitude, found his throat parched and his lips cracking with thirst long before the aspens had been passed. Tho green timber once reached, the hunters cast tho reins over their horses’ heads and left the animals standing thus with the cettainity that they cou.d be found when neededs "hen began that weary snow-clad heights. It had been agreed that not even the great sprawling plan- tigrade track of the grizzly bear should draw the hunters aside from their pur- pose. Iilk was the object of that ex- pedition, and eik alone should claim their attention, Sometimes an ecagle wheeled overhead, sometimes a great jack rabbit sped by in terror of that winged aerinl foe, sometimes a small herd of deer was scen hastening west- ward, bound for the warm fertile val- leys of Utah, the winter quarters of the Rocky mountain decr. None of these things, howover, could” draw from the hunters so much a¢ a single shot. A blue grouse finally rose and took shelte in asmall tree. The blue grouse is edible, and the hunters were short of food: so, fearful of alarming the should they shoot, they managed, laughter and many efforts, to hnng dn\\ n the bird with a stone. They would have joined in no such noisy sport, nov would they have stopped to prepare their game for the pit had they known that the etk herd was only 500 yards away. Elk in that part of the Rockies goin droves that may number forty or fifty. It is not uncommon for a single great bull to lead a polygamous family of fifteen or twenty cows, with half ‘& dozen younger bulls hanging about the edge of the cowry. The head of this strange household usually keeps his wives in single file ahead of him, andin this fashion they traverse the mountains. When a sudden thirst seizes the great bull, he starts with a mad rush for the valley wheve the near- est stream flows. He strikes with his great norns the flank of the first cow that stands in his way, and thus the whole herd is started in headiong gal- lop down whatever rough steep ledds to the valley below. This downward flight of the elk herd, thirty or forty great creatures, swift as galloping = horses, surefooted as the Andean llama, is one of the most astonishing s'ghts of the Rockies. While the second guide talked softly with the tenderfoot of the elk’s habits the first guide, a sturdy young black- smith from a distant valley, truaged some - yards ahead. As things stood thus he suddenly called in a loud wh* per and beckoned the laggards onward with a gesture of excitement. As the tenderfoot hastened over the thirty or forty yards of snow between himself and the blacksmith the latter pointed on- ward through the pines and the tender- foot saw through ashort vista, for the first time in his life, a wild elk free upon his native ground. The greut creature loomed large as a big cow, its branch- ing, m horns extending far along The tenderfoot was utterly ath, half wild with excitement and, as he presently learned, the vietim of buck fever. “Take your shot,” said the guide in a whisper ~denoting suppressed excite- ment, as he held the straining hound. The tenderfoot raised the Winchester to his shoulder, but the weapon wobbled as if in the hands of a palsicd man, The guides looked with a sort of professional horro Still the gun wobbled and its owner did not shoot, For God's sake, keep that gun quiet!” whispered tho guide hoavsely. By this time all could see a dozen wmore olk moving about through the farest, but the great bull still stood in silent contemplation of the hunters. The tenderfoot, despairing of himself, knelt down and clasped his shaking weapon hard against his shoul- der. Then, determined not to be hurried into a bad shot, ho watched the trem- bling muzzle until it passed across the breast of"the bull, Then he fired, The great creature leaped from his place, und the guide fired av his retreating fig- ure. Suddenly the woods seemed full of the swift moving elk. The hunters shot und shot again, The dog was now in full ery, and the hunters followed the game as rapidly as possible. The whole herd was plunging headlong through the green timber. One bull was hasten- ing off with the dog at his heels, The dog would seize the fotlock, drop it, and crouch as the great eresture kicked. Finally,the dog,still clinging to the bull's hind log, was dragged over a fallen log: As the bull took his leap one of the hunters fired, and ths elk fell dead. The air was now filled with the sound of the retreating elk asthey plunged through the underbrush. The herd was rapidly getting out of range, and the hunters paused to note what execution they had doue. Three clk bulls lay dead, That which the tenderfoot had first fired at had moved only a few feet from his original stand.” The bullet wimed with so much difficulty had reached his heart. The guide had in- flicted only & slight wound, Two of the fm” antlered heads were taien off by the guides. It was impossi- ble to carry away the flesh or even the skins, and the party, heavily laden with the antlers and choice portions of the meat, started downward through the green timber toward the horses. The Jjourney was made with laborious slow- ness in deference to the tenderfoot's worn out condition, The horse were sighted after three hours, and found pa- tieatly waiting almost oxm,lly where they had been left. The docile pack horse, which had followed the trail all the morning like a kitten, was laden with the antlered heads and the meat, and the homeward journey was con- tinuud into the comparative civilization of the valley. reh sit- asceént of the — e MONEY FOR U l‘l! \T} D BONES What the Railroads Pat' Up for Human Bric-a-Brac, AS THE JURYMAN AN ASSES:OR Various Parts ta of the lipdy Have Ascer- ol Values, Which Come Handy ase of Aceldent-A Review of the Judicint Sehedules. Your body and bones have a consider- able money value in the markets of the world. Courts and juries have come to a tolerably fixed conclusion as to the value of anarm, cven a toe or finge body ad man, what- ever its value to medical men, is really valueless and without an owner: and at common law no damages could be claimed from the party nging about death, Under our modern statutes this 1# changed, and courts and ju are frequently called upon to say what a dead wite or husband or fatheror mother is worth in cold cash. And it is not un- usual to find a man claiming $50,000 for adead wife that he would willingly have given away for nothing whiie she was alive. Ordinarily it isa ve on who is considered worth more than 00 or $10,000 in good coin ot the realm, An arm is valued at from 3§ to #1,000, Legs sell for even loss. govs and toes seldom bring more than #0 apicce, while an eye or verteb comes from ten to fifteen’times as high It is v ible to contamplate how fon a court has for the value o s body and bones, An arm that you wouldn'v pare with for $10,000 a year'is knocked off at a few hundred, While legs and toes ure almost given away. [t 1s interesting, says the Philadelphia Times, to take up at random some of the cases in which a jury has' passed upou the value of different partsof the cor- pus. Thus in nnsylvania Railroad Company vs Roy a Pennsylvania jury attempted to put a value npon a man'’s brains and concluded that the part in- jured was worth $10,000 if it was worth acent. Roy was sitting in a Pullman car and the upper berth fell, striking him on the heud and injuring his brain. The court granted him a new trial on technical grounds, though admitting the compuny's liability. The brain is not all that gives value to the head, however. In a Maine case one Hanson, like an arrant fool, got into a controversy with a railroad conduetor and had his skull eracked by a poker in consequence. He sued the company and got $4,000 damage The company, as usual, thought the wmount excessive, but the court didn't. In lilinois, how- ever, fractured skullssell for less money and the court in one case held $1,700 too much to pay for striking a woman's head with a hatchet, especially as she was a suucy wench and had been very provoking in her conduct. In England a jury granted a lad as a siight compensation for an injur which eventually proved fatal to hi eyes, skull and brain. The court re- fused to consider the damages excessive. In another case a lad named Cox, while playing in the highway, was kicked in the faco by a horse. The jury, finding him severely injured, awardod nim 100 for damages to his visage, but the court refused to let him keepit. If that horse had been & modern corporation and the boy's peers a western jury that kick would have been worth $5,000. Not only the head, but what is on ft, has a value, as a party who paid $2,500 for the trifling pleasure of knocKing another man’s hat off could testify. (o Taunt. 443). And not so very long ago Mr. Ho Ah Kow sued the sheriff of San Francisco for $10,000 damages for cutting off his queue. His pig-tuil had been cut off while he was in durance vile for not keeping a boarding house on_the “Meli- can” plan and contrary to the city ordi- nances. He alleged that the loss of his queue was & mavk of disgrace, ostracis- ing him from the company of his fellow celestials here on earth and possibly prejudicing his chances in the life to come. The sheriff pleaded the laws of San Francisco in defense. He demurred and ths judges were with him on the law, considering such a rule contrary to the fourteenth amendment of the federal constitution, The value of check, except toa book agent, is probably doubtful, but spitting on the check has been given its price, In Illinois a bloated bondholder named Mitchell spat on the cheek of a Mr. Alcorn in public. If he had used his friend’s face as a cuspidor in a more pri- vate place he might have found it cheaper, for as it was a jury stuck him for $1,000, and. though he protested the court made him pay it. Even kissing comes high sometimes. In Wisconsin a Chicago & Northwestern railway conductor, instead of taking a ticket from a lady spinster named Cracker, took a kiss. Shedidn’t like it. and the company had to pay her $1,000. The court refuggd to consider the kis oo high priced. The humbler members of the body are quite as valuable in the eyes of the law as the head. Many years ago Mvs, Eliza- beth Dudley, while riaing on top of an English coach, was hurt going through a doorway that was too low. Thedriver had asked her to step down, but she pre ferred to ride. A jury gave her $500 for an injury to her shoulders and back, Inan English case Mrs, Foy was given $2,600 for an injury to the vertebre of her spine, She had been traveling by rail, and in getting off the car had to sh,pdu\\u about three fect, for wunt of a platform. She camo down heavily, jarring her vertebrwm and injuring her spine. The coury refused to interfere with the verdict, In Wisconsin $2,750 more was given for a similar injury and a dislocated hip joint in addition, while in Illinois a young woman was paid $5,000 more than Mrs. Foy for the sama injury—caused by falling” through a de- fect in the sidewalk. And the next year the same court allowed a school teacher $8,858 for u permanent injury to his spine, Fingers and toes have their value. For having his fingers smashed in a railway carriage Kordham, an English- man, was given £23 by an English jury. S0 another was given %150 for having his fingers bitten off by a dog .Years ago one Jackson was riding in the Lon- don underground raitway from Margate straet to Westbourne park; the car was full, yet at the station he, with others, tried to enter. The porter slammed the door, catching Jackson’s thumb, The jury gave him £50 and the court of ap- peals said “let him keep the money. 3ut when the company went before the House of Lords that august budy said oxeeptional per- na, e Aoavantidia watua put on a fin- ger or thumb seems to be $100. Toes seldm fare so well and $25 has been held ample compensation for a little toe, though & man named Sanks was u.u,nlly allowed %75 for his big toe,and a colored one at that. Legs are not considered as valuable now as they used Lo be—very few of them bnu&]nng more than $1,000 apiece or for a pair. A New York cour 3 hnwmer, gave s man $12,000 for buug laid up and permum.nlly lamed. His Mosmn VO\EVIBFR 13, m’; doctor bill, it seems, was $1,500, so that he needed it. Ancther New Yorker got $6,000 for a leg that was all vight eight months later. In a now trial, however, this price was considered too fancy. In Towaa jury valued a leg at $4,000 and | the court cut it down to'$2,500, as did a Wyoming court whero e jury extrava: gantly awarded a poor fellow $10,000 for a compound fracture of the knee. In England £200 has been considered ex- cessive for a broken leg, though in a case where one Tebbut had his leg frac- tured by a pieco of baggage falling on it in a railway depot the court thought £300 not too much In a Massachusetts case Mrs went toa camp meeting one where she saw a Miss into a box with her hands came out with a ring on her finger when she changed to hor nose. On her Mrs. I\, as might have been expected, broke her leg. She got 5,000 English case a lady, whoapparently was an her wedding trip, allowed her hus- band to lift her from the top step of & The jump sprained her knee. The jury gave her £300, but the court un- allantly said it was her own fault and vefused hier anything. In Connecticut a baby l¢ 0 an arm by heing run over by a train of cars. The jury valued them at $#,800, An Illinois court held that $1,050 was not too much to pay a man for the pleas- ure of putting a lond of buckshot into his leg and a bullet through his left lung. In Wisconsin $2,500 was considered far too much for a ruined ankle, and inan English case nominal dam- a; was considered sufticient for an ankle ruined by a careless surgeon. In the good old black letter days the pen- alty for disiguring your neighbor's face was 3 shillingst ditto for breaking his vib: a thigh cost four times as mucl robbing a man of his beard cost 20 shill- ings and a front tooth was valued at 6 We no longer have fixed catalogue prices, but under the prevailing rules of law every person can fairly estimate what his” hones are worth ‘to him in other people’s money. The jury is usually instructed to consider the loss of time and actual financial loss caused I the injury; the age and situation in life of the iv d one; the expenses in- curred: the permanent effect on the in- jured: ¥y toatt2nd to his for- mer business or to~ support himsell as before. Bodily pain, too, is to be con- sidered and compensated and under cer- tain limitations mental anguish also counts for something. el FREMONI HAFPPENINGS, .
