We left Ft. Washakie in company with 

 General Copinger, U. S. A., on his way to 

 meet Dr. Webb in Jackson's Hole, for a 

 hunting and fishing trip. We went through 

 Jackson's Hole, Yellowstone park, and made 

 other side trips. We located 2 bear, 9 elk 

 in one band, and 25 or 30 in another band 

 of bulls, cows and calves, of all sizes. We 

 killed 3 bulls, securing horns, heads, hides 

 and meat. 



As boss packer and guide, I had 4 saddle 

 horses and 6 pack horses to look after. 

 Made the entire trip bare footed, and with 

 not a sore backed horse under a saddle. 

 Each horse carried the same saddle first put 

 on, for 6 weeks; traveling in all about 550 

 miles. H. M. Coulter, Lander, Wyo. 



My quail hunting last season was stopped 

 by the death of my dear old dog, " Duchie," 

 who died in giving birth to pups on August 

 29, '97. I succeeded in getting them a foster 

 mother, but too late. Only one, a fine dog, 

 survived. Duchie was only 6 years old, but 

 was a Solomon for wisdom. I hope " Little 

 Duchie " will be as smart as his mother.

Mr. Billings is right about the red squir- 

 rel. That they chase and bite gray squirrels 

 I know by observation. The red is " the 

 meanest little cuss we have," and I will put 

 a bullet through him whenever he presents 

 himself. F. M., Maiden, Mass.
