General Steele's Story of the Cayuse That Wouldn't .Die. The olddays of theWest get a large proportion of the space in Gen- eral A. 0,'Steele's "Reminiscences of the Great -North-West," recently.Pub- lished. As one reads the record of the valor and endurance and good Judgment brought into play by indi- vidual members of the North-West Mounted Police forty years ago, when a few hundred men carried and en- forced British justice through thou- sands of sur miles q oflivzar = b d swept prairie, one gets an under- standing of why it is that this organ - praise, ization has won its world-wide Horses, of course, play a highly important part in the annals, And the deeds of at least two animals are recorded Which may well be astound- ing even to those who know the -won- derful vitality and geooral ability of the Indian cayuse. One of the two animals referred to fell over a canyon at kicking Horse Pass, British Columbia, tumbling seventy-five feet to a rock below. The owner, unable to reach the twinned and thinking her leg was broken, fired live shots with hie revolver into her head, but without hitting a vital spot. After the fifth shot, the animal struggled to her feet, fell into the river, at that season a raging torrent, and was carried half a mile down stream to the opposite shore. The next day other members of the party reached the horse to save the saddle and bridle. They found her lying on the rocks with one eye shot out, three ribs broken, and one leg almost cut off. On reporting to the owner, who was very fond of the horse, he ordered that she be given oats, a shelter, and a chance to re. corer. Amazing to relate, says Cole oriel Steele, she did recover, was sent to the owner's ranch for a year, and in the second North-West rebellion Steele saw a one -eyed horse ridden by a member of the Alberta Mounted Rifles -it was the horse that fell over the canyon. The other particularly notable horse was an Indian pony which, in a race, did a mile in 1:50, ridden by an Indian, weighing 197 pounds. This feat may be better appreciated when it is recalled that 1.40 for a mile is fair time for a thoroughbred in a selling race with 105 pounds or se up. Steele served as a Private (al. though previously an officer in a Ca- rreetan militia regiment) under Col- onel Wolseley -later • the famous Field Marshal and Viscount -in the Louis R.lel rebellion of 1879 at Fort Garry, now Winnipeg. He joined the North-West Mounted Police in 1873, the year it was formed, as Sergeant Major, and remained with the "Riders of the Plaine-acclaim- ed time and again by experts as one of the finest body of mounted troops in the world -until the outbreak of the South .African war. During his service with the N. W. M. P„ as they are known in Canada, Colonel Steele went through the wild days of the Canadian West, when the country was full of "bad" Indians (their badness, as he explains, being 1atgely due to whisky and the :con- temptible tricks of unscrupulous whites) and of buffalo in hundreds of thousands; he was in command in British Collin:dna (as -he soon attain- ed commission rank) during the con- struction of the Canadian. Pacific Railway; he fought in the second Biel rebellion in 1885, being in com- mand of Stoele's Scouts andgeneral- ly of the cavalry forces of the Do- minion in that war; he was in com- mand in the Klondike during the gold rush of 1898 and the subse, anent years. When the Boer war came, Colonel Steele was given command of Strath- eona's Horse, and fought through the war. The Fund's elegy President.

General Steele's Story of the Cayuse That Wouldn't .Die. The olddays of theWest get a large proportion of the space in Gen- eral A. 0,'Steele's "Reminiscences of the Great -North-West," recently.Pub- lished. As one reads the record of the valor and endurance and good Judgment brought into play by indi- vidual members of the North-West Mounted Police forty years ago, when a few hundred men carried and en- forced British justice through thou- sands of sur miles q oflivzar = b d swept prairie, one gets an under- standing of why it is that this organ - praise, ization has won its world-wide Horses, of course, play a highly important part in the annals, And the deeds of at least two animals are recorded Which may well be astound- ing even to those who know the -won- derful vitality and geooral ability of the Indian cayuse. One of the two animals referred to fell over a canyon at kicking Horse Pass, British Columbia, tumbling seventy-five feet to a rock below. The owner, unable to reach the twinned and thinking her leg was broken, fired live shots with hie revolver into her head, but without hitting a vital spot. After the fifth shot, the animal struggled to her feet, fell into the river, at that season a raging torrent, and was carried half a mile down stream to the opposite shore. The next day other members of the party reached the horse to save the saddle and bridle. They found her lying on the rocks with one eye shot out, three ribs broken, and one leg almost cut off. On reporting to the owner, who was very fond of the horse, he ordered that she be given oats, a shelter, and a chance to re. corer. Amazing to relate, says Cole oriel Steele, she did recover, was sent to the owner's ranch for a year, and in the second North-West rebellion Steele saw a one -eyed horse ridden by a member of the Alberta Mounted Rifles -it was the horse that fell over the canyon. The other particularly notable horse was an Indian pony which, in a race, did a mile in 1:50, ridden by an Indian, weighing 197 pounds. This feat may be better appreciated when it is recalled that 1.40 for a mile is fair time for a thoroughbred in a selling race with 105 pounds or se up. Steele served as a Private (al. though previously an officer in a Ca- rreetan militia regiment) under Col- onel Wolseley -later • the famous Field Marshal and Viscount -in the Louis R.lel rebellion of 1879 at Fort Garry, now Winnipeg. He joined the North-West Mounted Police in 1873, the year it was formed, as Sergeant Major, and remained with the "Riders of the Plaine-acclaim- ed time and again by experts as one of the finest body of mounted troops in the world -until the outbreak of the South .African war. During his service with the N. W. M. P„ as they are known in Canada, Colonel Steele went through the wild days of the Canadian West, when the country was full of "bad" Indians (their badness, as he explains, being 1atgely due to whisky and the :con- temptible tricks of unscrupulous whites) and of buffalo in hundreds of thousands; he was in command in British Collin:dna (as -he soon attain- ed commission rank) during the con- struction of the Canadian. Pacific Railway; he fought in the second Biel rebellion in 1885, being in com- mand of Stoele's Scouts andgeneral- ly of the cavalry forces of the Do- minion in that war; he was in com- mand in the Klondike during the gold rush of 1898 and the subse, anent years. When the Boer war came, Colonel Steele was given command of Strath- eona's Horse, and fought through the war. The Fund's elegy President.
