Six buffalo hunting parties have individualized
the season. -, The Frost.Collins party killed

editor party, killed twenty-three. kThe Ossian Fl.
Dodge party, shot four. And now the number
four, New York Opera Box, Madison Avenue

VIII end the hunting OF the season, as the buffalo
are already out OF range. The party rode fifty
miles, and struck q herd OF thousands. Never
before had ladies and school girls been sur
ROUNDED by Pawnee Indians and wild buffalo.
Sue Train astonished the Indians by her reck-
less riding. Mr.. Trains epigram on his little
daughter's bold dash among the buffalo is a de-
clded hit. Perhaps the first time the Pawnees
ever acted as escort to Siour Train Here

Colonel George P. Smith, the editorial chief of
the great excursion, Joined the party at Jules
burg. The party breakfasted with General
easement, on board the famous track-laying
hotel, aud after writing the Pyramids Pagodas
Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the Pompey's Pillar
OF our ancient city, started off for Trans New
Saratoga OF the Rocky Mountains and to Fort
Saunders and the Laramie hunting-felds. Train
has come up to build his grand hotel for Coz
zens and the party, we understand, will visit
Denver. The Vice-President is on the business
OF the Company, arranging to push on the road
over the mountains. Train says the country
may thank him for stopping the Indian war,
and in his usual caustic style has nailed the fact
on the counter. Here is his epgrammatic set
tlement OF the Indian question:
The engine whistle of Pacific trains
VIII drive the bison and the man from the Plains
My Indian speech th old Ben Wade 0'
Checked q frontier war. The treaty made
saves hundred millions OF the Jay Cooke flood
The nations honor and the peoples blood.
George Francis may well be called the Light
ming Train. Five weeks ago he was with the
Wall street gold brokers, four weeks ago pilot.
ing the great Editorial Excursion, three weeks
ago he was In Cheyenne selecting the spot for
his grand hotel and his Rocky Mountain water
izing Kansas defeating Rebel Acknowledgement
and negro suffrage, and championing woman
suffrage and greenbacks, where he was nomi-
mated by ten mass meetings for the White House:
Saturday he was smashing into the buffalo, and
was here yesterday hail fellow with the boys of
Cheyenne. All the Argus has to say to the
guests ls, welcome TO Cheyenne. Welcome Du-
rant. Welcome the Commissioners. Welcome
"The Irrepressible" +" and three cheers for the
ladies, who are the first to visit the Rocky
Mountains by rail.
