The cap should now be placed on the nipple, after which the deadly device may be left to do its certain work. The remaining portion of the carcass should be removed, and where the locality is likely to be frequented by other hunters or trappers, it is well to put up a "danger" signal to guard against accident.
What a pity we can't scare up a livin' 'un that 'ud be a nice cargo for our return-trip, w'udn't, my lad?" "Yes," I answered, mechanically, without hearing what Ben said; for I was at that moment thinking of something else. We had observed how the carcass of the antelope for antelope it was had been mangled and half eaten by some preying creature. Ben said it was wolves or jackals.
He agreed that our animal was mortally wounded with our first two shots, and had we let him alone there would have been no necessity for more arrows.

To the wolf the graveyard is anything but consecrated ground; and, if a person is very chary of his cadaver, he had better not leave it on the Western Plains. The wolf is quite choice in his viands whenever the opportunity offers, and will, at any time, leave the carcass of an Indian for that of a white man.
The fight between the outlaw and the ranch stallion had evidently occurred above the mouth of the Ganso and several miles to the north of the home river, for he had accidentally found the carcass of the dead horse at a small lake and, recognizing the animal by his color, had immediately scoured the country in search of the band.
