 This nsl urally tarted a stampede. Caepson wa.s well among the buffalo ba fore the unwiefiy beaa1s knew what had happened and got fairly to running. Then ard the lae. thing the hunter saw before the dus. shut everything from view was slls Ar1ianls coming ever eae crest of the hill he had iucs left Afi.er this it was all croWdlng, D.
