More Hunters Slain by the African Buffalo Than Any Other Animal.
How He Bushes from Ambush Returns on Ills Spoor to Lie in Walt for His Foes-Perilous Experience of n Boer.
IcoPYR1cHr. 1896. ]

It is agreed upon all hands by expe- rienced hunters in Africa that the buffalo (Bubalus Caffer) is one of the three most dangerous four-footed foes k that man can attack. Most men class sa this animal with elephants and lions, as agame that requires the highest attri- Hlbutes of skill, courage and caution to bring to bag; and, as a matter of fact, it may be laid down that more deaths
 and dangerous accidents happen an- fnually in Africa in hunting the buffalo ,E than in the chase of any other species of heavy game. In regions where large plumbers of these splendid beasts still wander in troops of 300, 400 and even more, and where they have been little disturbed, the hunter has no great diff culty in shooting as many as he re- quires. Ia fairly open country, where scattered covert exists, and where they can be readily approached-for they are be no means keen-sighted creatures a man may shoot buffaloes as easily, he begins to think, as he can oxen. But when buffalo is wounded and his
 blood spoor has to be taken up, and the hunter has to follow him in the dense
 coverts to which he retreats, the busi- ness is entirely changed. Then you may prepare to look out for yourself, to take up your heaviest and most relia- ble weapon, and to follow the track of your game with every sense alert, and your rifle handy for an instant and most deadly charge.
 You will find, too, that the native spoorer, who trotted in front of you readily enough on the blood spoor of elephant, and even the lion, would now greatly prefer to follow in your rear, and leave you to take upon your own person the first and most dangerous risk in the dark and shadowy thickets into which you are advancing, He knows-none better-the dark murder ous fury, and the lurking, noiseless ways of the beast of which you are in search. The buffalo, when once he is wounded, seems, indeed, to think of lit- tie else than bloody revenge Unlike most kinds of game, which, when wounded, will almost invariably betalle

reported little further ahead among the lagoons and marshes of this region. The Dutelshunter, therefore, camped for the night, ate hearty supper by the roaring fire, and slept soundly till early dawn. Before sun-up the par ty were again stirring. In less than two hours time the natives had led the way to a broad, marshy lagoon, or "vlei," as Boers call it, surrounded by drier ground, upon which grew bush, acacia trees and 6 few tall palms. Part of this lagoon was shallow open water, the remainder consisted of a dense bed of tall reeds which led to fur ther swamps and lagOons beyond | The sight that met the Dutchman's eyes as he and the natives crept cautiously towards the edge of the ''vlei" and sur yeyed the scene from behind a screen of bush was d wonderful one. In and about the "vlei" stood a troop of not less than 200 buffaloes, some rolling in shadows, some drinking, some standing belly-deep in the water, dark and mo- tionless.
 Concealed behind mass of bush, to which he and the Hottentot had crept, the Dutchman waited patiently till the troop moved and fair shot of fered.
 At last several fat cows, for which he had been waiting, together with Q tremendous old bull, came within 30 yards. Selecting the best cow, the Boer aimed behind the point of the shoulder and brought her down. She fell in- stantly to the shot, struggled little further and soon lay dead. The Boer had hoped and expected to bring down another COW. His intentions were frus~ trated, however, by the bull, which charged upon the instant directly to- wards the rife smoke. Within ten yards the Dutchman, who was kneel- ing, fired again, hitting the grim beast i'll front of the chest and turning it. Meanwhile, at the sound of firing, the hole immense herd fioundered out of the "ylei," and went off, crashing through an angle of the reed beds, and thence far into the bush. As they fled the Boer showed in another cartridge, took aim at retreating COW 80 yards off, and by a lucky shot broke her back She fell, believing, and was quickly dispatched. Leaving the natives to skin and cut up these carcasses, the Dutchman now took up the pursuit of the wounded bull, which he had marked in it's flight through dense patch of reeds to the right of the lagoon. The beast had turned off alone, and the greatest care had to be taken in fol,

themselves in flight as far from the pur- Euer as possible, he usually retreats some distance into the densest bush, and then either hides up in some dark corner, where the shadows are deep and dense, or, turning upon his line, takes parallel path back, and so waits for his foe; or he will even follow back upon his own spoor and conceal himself Sometimes he will stand, lurking amid the dark thiclets; at another time, if badly wounded, he will lie down: in either case prepared and determined to Intlict bloody revenge for the hurt under which he is smarting.
 I cannot better illustrate the char acter of these plucly animals than by an adventure narrated to me not long since in the hunting veldt by a Boer hunter from the Transvaai. He had been tregging with some other com patriots far to the northwest of Lake Ngami Flesh was badly wanted in the marshy country, north of the 0lxanango river on which they were outspanned. and the natives reported large herds of buffaloes, he left his horses behind him, ferried across the river, and spent the next two days in hunting. He had with him his own Hottentot servant, good and reliable hunter and q fair shot, and he had as we'll several of the natives of the dis frict, who were anxious for meat, and ready to show him the game.
 On the first day the Dutchnaan came across some 50 buffaloes grazing in fairly open veldt. Getting behind some convenient covert, and with the wind in the right direction, he had little diff ficulty in shooting two fat cows and . young bull. The cows were quite easily secured, but the bull, although shot through the hngs, jumped on his legs from some long grass and bush when Approached, charged fercely at the sporting party, and was only killed within D few feet of the hunter.
 Large numbers of buffaloes were still
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1896-05-17

lowing it through such a covert. But the Dutchman had hitherto always had great luck with buffalo and was deter mined to finish his task As soon as the reeds were reached the blood spoor was easily followed. The heavy bullet had evidently ralled the lungs, as the bull was bleeding freely, and large patches of crimson marked it's path. The reeds were very tall-12 or II feet-and thick, and the spooring seemed so dangerous an operation that the Hottentot, who was carrying 8 second gun-a Martini- HeEry-fell behind, leaving his master to take the first risk with his heavy eight-bore. At every step-they were wading knee deep in water-the hunt CTS stopped to listen. They had not penetrated 50 yards through the avenue of broken reeds afforded by the passage of the bull, when in an instant and without warning the beast was upon them. The Boer was knocked fiat upon his back by the charge, but the bull had miscalculated his distance: he had no doubt charged for the sound, and had struck his enemy with his nose,
  which was held high, as is the habit of these brutes when charging. Galloping over the prostrate Boer, the buffalo went straight for the Hottentot a few paees behind. This unfortunate the brute struck with his horn and tossed on one side some yards into the reeds. Thsn, continuing it's career, the bull passed on out of the s'vlei," and took shelter in some thin bush, where it was Afterwards found dead. The Boer, all the wind knocked out of him. and se- verely bruised. picked himself up, re- covered his rife, which was flung yards away, and then sought the Hottentot. The unfortunate servant lay among the reeds and water, a terrible wound gap ing just below his left chest, breathing his last. He lived only a short time, and died a pathetic and unwilling object lesson in the risks and dangers of fol lowing a wounded buffalo into thick Ecovert.

The w. A. c. football team again
showed, Thursday, that they knew
the game, when they defeated the
Co. G. boys, from Walla, on the
Colfax grounds, by score of % to
o. An excursion train was run
from this city to Colfax, and good
many took the opportunity to see
what was expected to be a good
game, but the game while it was
we'll played by each team, was too
one sided to be intensely interest
ing. The Pullman boys make a
strong team, and their opponents
were not in it from the first. A
game had been arranged for today,
at Moscow, between the w. A. G.
and u. Of l. teams, but on account
of the prevalence of diphtheria at
Moscow the game has been declared
off for the present. The two games
played by our college boys so far
this season have resulted in 46
points in their favor, while neither
of the opposing teams scored a
point.

CITY OFFICERS yOuIyaTED


That the citizens Of Pullman are
interested in matters pertaining to

by the large attendance at the mass
meeting held last week, add the
many voters present and partici-
pating in the nominating conven-
ton, called by the council, in Rea-
ney's hall, last Tuesday evening.
The mass meetings had caused
people to think; they discussed the
affairs Of the city, and looked
around for the most available men
who could manage those affairs
most satisfactorily to all concerned.
AS 8 result the convention IN Rea-
nev's hall was one of the most
largely attended ever held in the
