THE MIGHTY HUNTER,
BILL JOHNSTON.
A chapter from Mr. Webber1 new book,
The Gold Miiiet of the Gila"
1 returned home with the Colo el, and
on reaching ilia log hut, we were aston
ished to see through the chinks of the logs
the blase of a cheerful fire. As we enter
ed, the figure of a very tall personage met
us. 1 heard a drawling voice say,
"How are ye, Kern?"
" Bill Johnson Blood and blazes I Glad
to see you, old fellow I What brought
you here 1 Just the boy I wanted !"
'Oh, jes: sneakin' around ! Anlhinj cr
eiirrinT
'I lellyou boy, yes; I have just taken
a pop at that sneaking Mexican, Agatone.
One of his men took one at me down on
the log. Did you hear the gun V
"Jest as usual; oneer them yaller slinks
can't hit a bluif side ! I hearn the gun
thought ihar were sum then out. Who is
this " turning to me.
"Oh, that's Kainluc.k ; we're going to
make something of hun ; lie stands powder
well, but wants a heap of practice " I
"He ! Bel gin us your feelers, kenttick,
we ll work the buttermilk outen yer I triad
yer come I from old lennerdee myself,
and them's do.-ie sisterine yer know. Turn
that meat thur, Kern ! You keepd mighty
tnflin' fires; but you poor creatures who
live in houses can't have a fire like men
oughter Spiul yourselves, boys, and
make yersclves at home while I'm er ealin';
1 ain't tuck nothin
ainco yester evenin
and then I tuck it raw dry 'caase a firo
wu'n't Bufe!1'
"Fresh signs ?"askd the Colonel, ns he
stooped and cut a great slice from the
venison 1mm which was spitted before the
lire.
" I could'er almost smelt 'em I" said
Bill, as he went through the same ma
noeuvre. 1 found yer coffeo, Kern, though yer
does keep it in a cussed sly place Mexi
cans bad, are they ? Mighty bad thing,
having people living 'bout jest ter thieve."
But the Colonel's jaws were too busy
by this tune lor further talk, and he merely
nodJed his head. Bill who had now, too,
cut off a slice of meat weighing about a
pound from the ham, and passed it on, with
a significant look, to me, then seized upon
the quart cup id coffee which was sim
menng hot, and commenced in solemn si
lence his incal.
JN'ow, amidst the deep stillness, broken
only by the doleful sound of the voices of
night without, and the crashing of their
heavy grinders, let us take a good look at
Bill Johnson the boy, as the Colonel call
ed hiui. And a rough seeming customer
was he worth, tajtiug-a second look at
especially if you fell any temptation to
Cross his track. He was upwards of six
feel four in height; an angular, loose joint
ed figure, tli.it looked as if it had been
thrown together by a pitchfork, and did
not care whether it staged thrown together
or not; his bones, though, were prodigi
ously mafsive, and his hand felt to me like
iead. There was not the sixtieth part of a
grain of surplus flesh upon him. His ten-
dons, muscles, and even veins, were as rig-
l..fi,,.l .f ,U... UJ 1
uiuujij ucuireu as ii nicy u uecn cut in
r i t t i . , .,
granite. Upon his wide, massy shoulders
was bet a very small head, with a fleece
of closc-curleil black hair. His features
were small and well shaped, with a full.
Irank black eye; his skin, stretched so
tight as it was over the bones, reminded '
mc in color aul consistence, of a drum
head. He was dressed in & black, greasy,
buckskm suit, 'a world too wide," which
Appealed as though it had weathered a
thousand storms, and kept pace with the
rJrof reive tanning of his own cuticle.
In a word, sun aud wuida, perils by flood
and field, and starvation, altogether, had
hardened the man into a perfect whalebone
stale ! He Jtad" lain aside his wolf skin
cap and b illet ppuch, and in the belt of his
hunting shirt were stuck two or, three
Jmivea of different sizes and lengihe, and a
brace of loug rifle pistols. The charger of
alligators' teeth hung &t hia breast, along
trta tile coiled wire tube-picker. Of beard
he had tjone, whether be had plucked it
out as the Indians do, or never had one, I
caaaottelL But such as he is this was
Bill Johnson, the guide, hunter, trapper
the man who knew, as well as he knew
01d Sue," his rifle, every peak along the
chain of the Rocky Mountains who vis
ited Astoria merely as a pleasure jnunt to
see the boys, und hug his old friends the
griizly bears who Itnturiated his sum
ners at the Steamboat springs, with his
head upon the lap of his Delilah a cap
tured Blttckfcct squaw! who look Santa
i'e a " mine inu" on his way to spend the
jsvinter on the pampas of California who
wal proof against wind and hail, and all
tornadoes, and joyed
"On tho snow-wreath to balUspllh lb wolf;"
whose hide could glance the arrow of a
Siouix whoee eye would see the Condor
first, and olfo bring it from its icy peaks
whose spring was agile as the long fleeced
goat's whose fool was tireless as tho Hu
ron rujioer' who could ouutarve the
rartfo, and look greasy where ibe jackal I
di d whose fist could crush a puma's
skull whotw tub .wae .quicker than the
thought of deaUb who hate was greedy
as an f aV.mawwhose Tec sa mUi
awl eiiopJe as a country boy'swho
wavtXniiXM an muden's,suii quite
M free of guile who worshipped God un
consciously in daily , walk and converse
with his grandeur,yet would have laughed
at all religions!
' Such was Bill Johnson; and so are many
others of those majestic natures, whose
souls grow like the shadows of the moun
tain ridges they walk beneath; "wild above
rule or art;' mirced but sublime! Ann
yet that man's hand was red, and many a
retributive blow of vengeance it had struck.
Society would shudder at the bare recital
of many a deed he had smiled in doing.
ret while in your "fenced cities" you
have the gallows your huge castellated
prisons, your houses of discipline, your
narrow cells where, shut from the free air
and holy sun, the wretched sinner against
your laws must tell the weary seconds on
through years, until the inward light goes
out and death strikes twice, you should not
find fault with these men, to whom "con
science is as for a law;" you have given
them none; and since the systems vou
boast of, and have framed in pride, offer
you no alternative but to make justice an
executioner, blame them not if, as they
have no ideal incorporation on which to
throw tlie blame to which they can say,
"on your shadowy head be the blood of
this man; we wash our hands of it" they
should more honestly take the retribution
into their own hands, and each man for
himself be the executioner of its stern law.
You cannot judge of the fierce wrongs
which heat their strong passions to the
fever-thirst for blood and vengeance. It
is a battle for life for ever on these des
olate wilds, of man to man, eye to eye, and
loot to loot, ret they have a code tho
a relentless and martial one it be
written J
in the constitutitution of their natures, and
the circumstances of their position.
' True! me each stale must have Us policies
Kingdoms have edict cities have their charters
And even (he wild outlaw, in his forest walks,
Keeps yet some touch of civil dislpline."
By this codo they arc most sacredly
bound. This eomrnon law of conscience
and of individual rights needs no wily
counsellor to distort its meaning and con-
lound Us sense ; but each one, with the ma
jesty of nature looking down upon him
from her eternal hills, and under the broad
gaze of the great eye of heaven, manfully
and stoutly, of his own responsibility, inter
prets for himscif, and is his own executive!
" V e'er goin' to see after him some, in
the monun', Kem 1 ' For the bone was
picked pretty clean by this time.
" 1 tell you we are, Bull The boys will
bring Hays and ten men ; and now we've
got you, 1 wouldn't take a hundred mules
tor the chance I"
" 1 don't care, but 1 11 be thar. Yer know
Kern, thur's sunnhen between us; it's time
it war fixed don't like such things ter
stand long ; but they don't spile much in
iny keepin'. Agatone run'd agin thur
sawyer when he rund agin Bill
Johnson !"
That he did, Bill !"
"But who'r yer goin' ter send on the
trail, at day-break ?'
'Uh, the lonquoway ! you know him."
" He ll do. Let's quite up.
And with the word he spread his buffalo
robe on the floor, and said, as he threw
himself upon it
"Don t like this ere sleepin twixt walls!
Too close can't breathe free ! kinder
strangulates a man ! Don't see rrow Ver
can stand it Kern !"
'Oh: a man can get used to a heap o'
thiugs, .Bill!"
we were au soon streicneu upon our re
. n . i i
ispective pallets, and I was near y asleep,
. r;iV ..u'u . c ,
when Bill, who had been tossing from side
to side, sniffling, drawing long breaths, and
seeming to be very restless, suddenly
jumped lo his feet, took up his blanket,and
walked out n tlie door, grumbling and
muttering as he went :
" Cussed hole ! 'nough to smother a
ground-hog! Wouldn't sleep ihar for a
hundred beaver pelts !"
I nearly burst my sides with restrained
laughter at the idea of a man's fearing heM
be strangulated " in a long-house, with
both doors open, or rather with no door at
all. But I fully appreciated Bill's uneasi
ness after six or eight months' tour oil the
prairies, and recollect being obliged to do
the same thing the first lime I lept in a
house afterwards. A sense of suffocation
came over me as soon as I lay down
though the room was very open and af
ter trying in vain to sleep for several hours,
I was obliged to take my blanket, and go
out to sleep under a tree I Nothing low
than the fanning of the strong wings of
ihe mountain wind, laden with the per
fume of the flowery plains, can lull lo sleep

wilds
