Switzerland and in the suburbs of Paris,

give 1t a trial. The company claims that

that herd of buffalo still roams the plains
of Texas in Val Verde county, a mountain
Gus region near the Rio Grande border.

undomesticsted buffaloes In the United
States were to be found in the Yellowstone
Park, where they are being preserved by
the government. About four years ago

rsnchman and sportsman of Gregory,
Texas, had shot a wild buffalo on Devils
river, in West Texas, excited only the
good nstured badinage of his friends, but

which is now produced by Forest and
Stream cannot be easily cried down
On the 9th of last month Mr.. O. q.
Moreau of Val Verde county stated that
he had received information from his fore
man, Leal Martinez, of the existsncs of q
herd of about forty buffalo in some rough
country near the Mexican border. "Msr-
tinez told me-" said Mr.. Moreau, THAT he
found the herd in email valley between
two ranges of big hills. many miles from
any settler. That part of Val Verde coun
ty is very remote, and 1t Is possible that
the herd has been there several years with
out being seen by anybody. Martinez
stated that he counted the herd, and thai
there were between forty and fifty buffalo
in it. He Is truthful man. and bellev,
his statement is correct"
