the size of'the party and make a
move for the nearest buffalo. One
route was over the Pembiua where
Olga now is. Then they struck for
the PLAINS, sometimes for the Chey-
enc, Devils Lake, Mouse river and
Turtle mountain. They went by
Elm Point, Little Lodge do
Bouffe, crossed the Pembina and
went: to the Big Pain to Turtle
mountain. Probably they would
strike baffalo OH that plain, and
fellow them UP for days, which
ever way they ran. Along about
noon this brigade we are now
writing about, started out and
travelled sixteen miles to what
is known as O. Brien's coolie AID

morning. aud camped that night at
Rush Lake. The next day we
broke cam D, and about four o clock
we struck buffalo. President
Wilke said it was too late to run
them that evening but would wait
until next morning. We broke
camp in the early morning and
Travelled until eleven O'Clock be-,

the hunters start out on a very

some Of the best shooters killing as
high as twenty. In shooting to
make dead sure, aim about half
way up the ribs behind the left
shoulder into the heart, the ,un.
ner being from FIVE to ten feet from
the animal, Sometimes they have
to shoot from either side Of the
victim, but always behind the
shoulder. So on to tie end of the
race, from, the time they get into
the herd, say one mile or a mile
and a half. The women follow
with the carts, following right up
to load with meat ard take back
to camp. The race ended, the
hunters return to the beginning

Sings, SO there is very seldom dis
pute as to the killing of the COW
or bull, but it is not bulls they are
after. They want cows and the
fattest in the band, and every
hunter looks for a fat one before
he shoots. Some of the hunters
