Peculiarity of Water in Two Klvers Near I ach Other. Continuing the narrative of hie western trip, our fellow citizen, I. G Sarratt, wiites : .After the reunion I took the train at Paris, ran to Dennison and there changed cars, boarding the M. K. T. train, called the "Katy Flyer,” to St. Louis and Kansas City. Well, a "Katy Fiver” it was. I never rode so fast in nay life. 1 tried to spit on one telegraph post and the spit hit another one. You bet I was going and mighty fast at that. I got olf the train at Ataka, the county seat of Ataka county,Indian Terrifory, Choctaw Nation. From there I went through the country to my son’s, about two or three miles from town. 1 found him and family doing very well. He is a cattleman, has about six hundred acres fenced in for pasturage and has about two or three hundred head of cattle. His land is what is known as glade land, and lies near the black hills in the northwestern part of the Choctaw- Nation. It grows the finest grain I ever saw and resembles the richest meadow lands of this'eountry. The grass was about knee high. All kinds of stock thrive and do well on it. if you don’t graze on it you can mow it and make an abundance of hay for wintering stock, if they should need it hut in ordinary winters they don’t use any feed for the cattle, provided they do not graze the pasture too close. My son’s ranch lies between two rivers, called Muddy and Clear Boggy. Muddy Boggy runs south of him and the water looks just like you had got the blackest mud you ever saw and stirred it in a bucket of wa ter and made it nearly as thick as mush. It is fine for stock and they like to drink it. The water is that way all the time. It looks like a compound heterogenous commingle- ment of mud and water. Clear Hoggy runs north of his place and the water of this river is clear as a crystal and is that way all the time .’stock do not like the clear water as much as they do the muddy. It is said the clear water has too much alkali in it.. It runs through the timber lands, or rather the moun tains. After I got rested I concluded to have some sport, so I went to town and got some fishing tackle, thinking I could catch all the fish I wanted. I scrambled around, got some bait and off to the Muddy I went. I selected a nice place on a leg and went to fishing In a few minutes after I got iny hook in posi tion great big fish about a foot long commenced jumping up all around my hook. Thinks I to myself, I’ll get a whopper directly. I spent about three or four hours at that job and nary a bite did I get. I went back to the house somewhat dis gusted. When I went into the house Will and his wife were killing them selves laughing. Will a^-ked me where my fish were and I told him they were too big to pack and I gave them to the hogs They knew well enough the fish wouldn’t bite. The fish are of th< bullaioand channel or shovel bill cat variety, and won’t bite a hook worth a cent in the day time. But I did not intend to be outdone, so next morning Will saddled up his ponies, got his gun and dogs and oil we went for a hunt in t:ie mountains. He hes only nine hounds About ten miles from the house we struck the mountains sure enough—the wildest country I ever saw. After we struck the mountains the dogs commenced doing about. It was but a few minutes before they struck a trail, which Will said was the trail of a cat. He told Jordon, a fellow who was with us, to stay with the dogs and he and I would go around to the cliiTs and head the cat off and the dogs would catch it. We got there in time and it was not long till there came the prettiest music you ever heard. The cat was making for its hole in the rocks, but Will headed it oil and the dogs soon caught it. It was a small kitten about a year old. I brought tbe skin home. Will killed a grown one just before I got there. He has the hide stuffed and it looks like a living cat. In about an hour the dogs jumped some deer and away they went. I got to see one before they ran off. They were out of hearing so quick there was no fun in the chase. We travelled twenty-five or thirty miles and I saw not a sign of a road nor mark of man, except one wolf pit—a curiosity to look at. We went up as far as the coal gate, where they were mining coal. That ended my sojourn in the Indian territory The animals »nd reptiles that in habit those mountains are the deer, three k nda of wolves, the coyote, the loafer aud the gray, the gray be ing the largest wild cats, panthers, some b. ar, a few cougsrs, panthers, plenty of turkeys and plovers, quails and woodchucks, squirrels in abun dance, rattle snakes, coach whips, cotton mouths, tarantulas, centi pedes, singing lizzards and gila mon sters, the most vicious little reptile 1 ever saw. One nearly scared me out of a year’s growth. I. o. s. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. You Know niul People You Don’t I K now Harney Clary and J.
