LIFE IN THE FAR WEST. 235 



A frieudly bullet cut short the few remaining hours of the trap- 

 per's faithful steed ; and burying, as well as they were able, the 

 body of the old mountaineer, the hunters next day left him in his 

 lonely grave, in a spot so wild and remote, that it was doubtful 

 whether even hungry wolves would discover and disinter his at- 

 tenuated corpse. 



THE END.
