A RELIC OF THE CHASE.
A Buffalo Head with n History-A Hunt
er's Predicament,

er's Predicament.
Most people living in the west have
seen mounted buffalo heads in private
residences and in hotels and other public
places. Beautiful specimens of the taxi
dermist's art that always elicit the ad-
miration Of the observer. With life-like
eyes Of glass, highly polished horns and
clean flowing names those mounted
heads are beautiful to behold. Those of
us who came to the west since the buffa-
10 became practically extinct often con-
clude that the mounted heads are life
like in every respect. Any old buffalo
hunter will tell you that the bright eyes
are about the only feature that closely
resembles the animal when alive.
He will tell you that the horns of a
live buffalo we're never bright and glossy
but the reverse-often scaly and broken
as they appear when found on the
prairie today; that the hair on the head
was tangled and full Of burs and dirt; in
fact, the whole head was anything but
clean and attractive.
The writer recently had the good fort
une to see a head which he wal told had
about the same appearance as it did
when the buffalo was killed thirteen
years ago. 1t is nailed over the door OF
a barn on the Hay Bros. ranch on
Arrow creek, about forty-five miles east
of Great Falls, and is worth going to see.
On first appearance one would think a
piece of an old robe had been nailed over
a weather-worn buffalo head, with holes
cut in the skin for the horns to protrude
through. Such at least were the con
illusions of the writer until informed diff.
ferently by Mr.. John Hay. That gentle
man then related the history of the relic,
telling how he and his brother Andrew
killed the buffalo from whose lifelese
carcass the head was cut, and then fas.
tened it upon the side of their barn as
reminder of the days when game was
abundant.
1t was in the fall of 1873 when the
country in that vicinity was sparsely set
tied, and game Of all kinds, excepting
buffalo, was very plentiful. To use {
western expression, they were out Of mea'
and Andrew started out to kill ar
antelope or a deer. He had proceeded
but a few rods from the ranch when hi
suddenly came on toa big buffalo, a bull
and instantly fired, wounding him.
The enraged animal charged upoI
Andrew and came zeal goring his horse
He fired again but with no better resul
and turning his horse started for tn
ranch with the buffalo in hot pursuit
Meanwhile John Hay, who had been at
tracted by the shots, hurried to hi
brothers rescue and dispatched the bull
with a we'll directed shot. Owing to tn
great size of the animal they cut off thu
head and nailed it up in the manne
mentioned. From its appearance on
can readily see that the buffalo mus
have been a monster. The hair over tn
eyes is about five inches long and thick
ly matted.
That was the last buffalo killed in tina
part of the country and for that reason
the head in it's present state is a curiOs
ity of considerable value. The Ha.
brothers have already refused sewers
flattering offers for it from taxidermis
and curio lovers.

the Atlantic with sixty head of choice
16-hand horses, sired by the $500 trot-
ting stallion, Treasure Box, owned by
Mrs. harrington of Lima, Mont. They

Mr.. Truman thinks they will make eX-

agreed to enter into new and stronger

Gould say conferences have been held
since President Manvel's arrival looking
to the consummation of his scheme to
consolidate the Missouri Pacific, Union
Pacific, Southern Pacific and Atchison
into new company, and that the
scheme is very close to being carried
out. 1t is also said that it is intended

DON'T WANT TO VOTE.
ALL WOMEN NOT PINING FOR THE
BALLOT.
Prominent Chicago Ladies Protest Against
Having the Right of Suffrage Thrust
Upon Them.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, March 2.-An inter
esting petition has reached the MEM
bers of the Illinois general assembly. 1t
is signed by some of the best known
of Chicago's society ladies, and is pro-
test against the bill extending
municipal suffrage to women,
and denouncing as false and per-
nicious all attempts to secure legislation
in that district. Among the signers are
Mrs. J. J. P. Odell, wife OF a well-known
banker; Mrs. Caroline Corbin, wife of
Lieut. Col. Corbin, United States army
Mrs. Elizabeth Gary, wife of Judge
Gary; Mrs. E. F. Griggs, Mrs. Caroline
MeAvery, Mrs. George w. Smith, Fran
ces T. Higgins, Isabella A. Gait.
The following extracts are taken from
the petition: BUSY in the cares of
their homes, women have neither time,
strength nor inclination to enter the
public arena and defend themselves
against doings which they earnestly be-
lieve to be pernicious and destructive of
the true power and influence of women
in their homes"
The French revolution is reviewed and
authorities cited to prove that woman
suffrage would result in the degradation
of the sex. Instances of communistic
societies, ETC., are instanced, with the
implied destruction OF the family rela-
ton, and the petition adds: "When
women share with men the burden in
labor and government, communism. with
all that it implies, has already begun.
"We expect you to remember that
above all human laws stand those great
natural laws, which no man nor
body OF men can controvene,
and that these laws have for
ever established difference between
the powers and privileges of the sexes,
to disregard which is to invoke the pen
alties by which they are relentlessIy en-
forced.
"We beg you to consider that the revo-
laws, butsfell crushed under the bur-
den that in SO far as any DO
litical body in this country
has attempted to do so, it has
suffered defeat; and we believe
no greater misfortune can attend the
forming of a labor party of the country,
in its attempt to secure legislation in
the interest Of the farmer, artisan and
laborer, than that it should espouse the
false and pernicious doctrine OF political
rights of women.
We pray, therefore, that no matter
what argument to the contrary may be
urged upon you as legislators for the
commonwealth, that you will stand fast
by that ancient bulwark of liberty,
the Home, remembering that the
same power which says to all:
"God is our father and all We are
brethren" has joined also the husband
and wife as one flesh for the orderly
bearing and rearing of children, and the
maintenance of society, and has given to
each their old distinctive and equally
honorable share in the labors and re-
wards of life."

IN THE COMMONS.
A Bill to Amend the Electoral Law De-
feated.

feated.
LONDON, March Sin the commons
today, Stansfeld, member for Halifax,
moved amendments to the electoral
law, the most important of which was
that no person shall vote in more than
one electoral area. The present system,
he said, originated when the franchise
was deemed a class privilege, and not
citizens right. As the law now stands,
a man could vote in every county and,
every borough where he held
house. In other words, the men having
the most meana, wouldshave right to
return more members than one with
smaller means.
Haworth submitted an amendment to
the effect that any alteration in the law
was inexpedient, unless providing that
different parts OF Great Britain and
Ireland be represented in proportion to
their population. Ireland, hessaid, is
grossly over represented.
Gladstone favored Stanfeld's motion,
but is was elected 291 to 189-the Irish
members being absent.
