THE LAST OF IT'S RACE.

One of the attractions of this res
ervation is George Bent's buffalo,
which, for the past five years or
more, has been with his herd of
cattle. The animal was captured
while a calf some six years ago near
Camp Supply by VIM. Frass, who
brought it down and presented it to
George Bent's daughter, Ada. 1t
has been ever since a prominent OBJ.
ject in the herd, and now is a solitary
specimen Of its kind, which some
years ago covered this country by
the tens Of thousands. The Indians
take great interest in the unwieldy
brute, and show it to their children
as specimen Of the animal which
but a short time ago was their main
dependence for subsistence. On ac-
count Of this association, George
would not sell the buffalo COW at any
price. The animal is handled the
same as the rest Of the cattle. and is
perfectly familiar with men on
horscbacll-but at times it becomes
pugnacious, and viii not allow a
wheeled vehicle to approach.

Sunday Nights Blow.

Though the wind blew with fury
seldom seen in this region throughout
Sunday no serious damage resulted,
other than briefly noted yesterday
morning. The Tribune's building had
been placed under roof and masons
completed the veneering to height
of about ten feet on each side, leaving
the front and rear open to guard
against possible calamity by affolding
passageway for the wind. 1t proved
insufficient, however. and though well
braced throughout the inside its ex.
posed position to the very worst of
the storm left it an easy victim, and it
fell Il mass of broken timbers and
crumbling brick, the roof alone re-
manning intact, and but slightly in.
jured. The total loss will approxi-
mate $l,500, though upon whom it
will fall reticence on the part of
those interested prevents the ENTER
PRISE from stating.
Porter & Eldridge's building on
Park street, occupied bv Wetzsteln &
Co., us Il wholesale liquor establish.
ment, suffered the loss of six of it's
handsome plate glass window panes.
The building is large and stands in an
exposed position, and though it shook
some in the face of the fierce gusts of
wind, it is one of the best built blocks
in the city, and competent to with.
stand any test to which it may be
subjected. A loss of probably $500
was sustained.
No other damage was done about
town, save the overturDjng of a few
outbuildings.

A great deal has been said about.the
eligibility of certain nominees to the
territorial convention One nominee
is said to be ineligible because he is a
member Of the territorial legislature
Now this question Of eligibility ought
to be settled at once. We do not pre-
tend to understand the legal points in
yolved. Tho statutes seem plain
enough, but then the decisions of the.
courts may have changed the whole
matter for some reas /, and it is cer-
tainly desirable that some competent
authority should examine the matter
and report ut once, that there may be
time to make other nominations before
the election, which is closegat hand.
II nothing is done and these parties
should be elected, and the convention
should decide them ineligible, their
constituents would have no voice in

they are liable to live the rest Of their

There are men who are actuated by
the desire to do all the injury they
can to their fellow-man. They can
see no good in any one unless that
good rebounds to their own selfish
credit. They look not on their fellow
man as co-partner in the great race,
but rather court his cOmpanionship
for gain. If one should accidentally
fall by the wayside in his efforts to
gain the lead, his competitor is ready
to strike his a blow and keep him
down ii possible. An assisting hand
and a kind word would often place one
on a firm footing--would give conf
dence and be the means of rolling the
stone that caused the stumble, to one
side, thus enabling him to resume the
journey along the rough and rugged
way. Breakers are sure to dash up
before us at all times. Let our aim
be to strike high and hue to the line,
let the chips fall where they may. In
times of need we can look back over
the road we struggled along and see
the opportunities we missed to gain
the point for which we battled. The
assistance and good words from a
friend should at all times be j cher.
ished landmark on our road. Aafriend
in need is a friend indeed, and we
should esteem such friendship beyond
Drice.--Ex.
