A Buffalo Story.

While talking with Mayor Baker Tues
day the conversation turned upon butfaloes,
and the TRIBUNE learned some interesting
facts which few but the old timers are
aware of. Back in 80, when vast herds of
buffalo roamed where herds of cattle now
feed, and a few years previous to that
time, when the wal of determination began
against these beasts, valuable for their
hide, Bismarck was the most important
shipping points in the west and fully rs
per cen of the buffalo pelts which were
shipped from the west passed through
Bismarck.
Mayor Baker was then engaged in buy.
ing and shipping hides and furs. In 1881 a
quarter of a million hides were shipped
from this point by his firm alone. The
way the butfalOes were killed is a matter of
history. They were sometimes found in
herds numbering, 10000. and these vast
nerds were slaughtered by four or five
sharpshooters,. Together with about forty
skmners who followed in ,he rear. The
butfaloes ranged from the gulf to Canada,
having good pasture the year around. The
hunters OF these beasts, after discovering a
herd, would proceed to a point in the d.
rectlon they We're travelling ind then start
" oouAipCu0. f1lCCl Il lcW llCdu passed. CLley
would begin shooting, piling them up in
large winrows. Those hat escaped were
met by another party stationed further on.
The SINNERS followed with wagons and
took the pelts. which were taken to points
on the Missouri and its branches and
shipped down the river to this point, and
from here sent to eastern markets. A buf-
fal0 hide was at that time worth. about 81,
and the hunters made considerable money.
MIR. Baker has a buffalo head from a large
bull which has taken the premium at
every fan. where it has been on exhibition.
1t would be a valuable addition to the
Worlds Fair. Wild buffalo are very
scarce, and a good buffalo pelt is difficult
to get at any price. Articles which were
once made from their hides are now being
made from the South American dog and
other animals found in South and Central

Crushed by the Cars,

AS express train No. 2 was nearing Rey-
nolds Siding. Mont, Monday, a man was
discovered trying to remove a hand car
from the track. The whistle was blown,
but the man kept on working with the hand
car. The engine was then reversed, but
could not be stopped till it had struck the
hand car and crushed the unfortunate
workman, who, when the train stopped,
craWled from beneath the mail car with
both legs mangled below the knees. His
name is Pat ORourke, section foreman at
Reynolds Siding. He was brought to Bill
ings, but it is thought he cannot live. He
has a wife and four children.
