Mate Parse testified that he had fol-
lowed the sea II years and had been a
| mate about years. He had been in the
ship Connor three voyages He had no
brass knuckles and never saw any. He
had no weapon of any kind.
The first trouble that he had with the
cook was when he was in the galley one
day and the cook was growing and
swearing about the cooking utensils.
Witness told him that he ought to have
complained when he came aboard and
not then.
The cook said, "Wbo the h-ll are you

Witness replied that he was acting in
the captains interest.
Witness said: HE said that he didn't

out without word.
The cook had been impudent in Ian
ouage or manner from the time he came
on the ship.
At the time of the row the witness
came on deck and heard the cook swear

George what was the trouble with the

DISAPPEARANCE OF WESTERN BIG
CANE

la 1870 the buffalo ranged from the
British line through Montana, the Da-
kotas, much Of Wyoming aud Nebraska,
and Texas. They were enormously
abundant and fairly blackened the
prairie, the published accounts Of their
numbers being not exaggerated. Peo-
pie travelling through the buffalo range
scarcely troubled themselves 10 carry
provisions. At night, just before camp
was made, man would ride out, kill n
heller, aud bring Ia enough Of the meat
for two or three meals. The buffalo
were tame and paid little attention TO
travellers so long rs they did not catch
their scent, but the buffalo 70 their lee
ward would be likely to take the alarm.
There are now practically no wild
buffalo left, the last of the large nothern
herd having been killed In 1883 on the
Dry Fork OF the Missouri, though there
was another small herd farther south
that was killed year or two later by
indians aud whites, on or near the Sioux
Reserve. The buffalo now living wild,
except for two little punches, are not the
plains form, but the mountain-buifilo,
commonly called "bison" by mountain
men. There are, however, believed to
be few plain buffalo on the head Of Dry
Fork and Porcupine creeks in Montana,
and another little band In Texas, near
the Flo Grande, and crossing into
Mexico. These last are survivors OF the
old southern herd, last known in the
Panhandle OF Texas. This Texas band
is supposed TO number only thirty or
forty, aud those In Montana are even
fewer.
The mountain-buffalo which lives
among the timber Ia, of course, more
difficult TO find, and so more OF this form
have survived. In the timbered region
about Peace River and to the south a
few buffalo still exist, though how many
no one can know. Men who should be
well Informed, tell me they are few Ia
number, not more than five hundred,
though scattered over a vast territory.
There is believed to be little band OF u
dozen or more buflllo Ia the Big Hole
Country in Montana. These were seen
few years ago By \ well-known sports
man, and have heard rumors OF them
since. In Colorado there are two little
bands ia the neighborhood OF North
Park. These may number seventy-five.
Besides these, there are the protected
buffalo In the Yellowstone National
Park, which through the iuaction OF
Congress have been prcyed upon by skin
aud head hunters, until now they are
said TO number not more than two
