4 Buffalo Herd I'm Indiana.
the Terre Hante Gazette.

From the Terre Hante Gazette
John K. Bass. the Fort Wayne foundry
man. who is one of the wealthiest citizens
of that lively town, has a herd of Buffalo
at his country home. Brookside. The head
of the herd Is a big bull, royalty named
King Angus. Just now King Angus Is
stepping high. for he Is the father of a
baby bison. Time was when buffalo roam
ed the plains of this country in unnumbered
thousands. Wholesale slaughter persisted
in through many years. has so decimated
their ranks that few remain. A small herd
is in Yellowstone National Park. Some
where in Texas there is supposed to be an
other. Probably in the far northwest and
in the UNEMPLOYED Businesses of the Rocky
mountains there may be few more. All
the rest have disappeared, except two or
three small herds in captivity. One Of
these is owned by Mr.. Bass. Excepting his
herd, the only buffalo in Indiana is the
Rampant specimen on the great seal Of the
state of Indiana.

THE LOST BRIGANTINE VALIANT.
ANOTHER BOAT PICKED UP WITH
FOUR SURVIVORS.
The Only Survivors of Twenty-One
rlen Who Left the Sinking YES
sci in LifebOat.

ST. JOHNS On. F), May 1.-The
French brigantine Amado, Captain For
tin, from st. Malo, arrived at St. Pierre
tonight, bringing four survivors of the
lost brigantine Valiant. which foun-
dered after striking an iceberg off the
Grand Banks on the night of April 18th.
These four We're the only survivors of
twenty-one men who feft the sinking
Valiant in a ships lifeboat, seventeen
having persisted as a result of exposure
and frost bites. The bodies of the sew
enteen dead men We're thrown over
board.
The four survivors claim to have kept
themselves alive by eating the flesh and
drinking the blood of dog belonging to
the Valiant. This dog, they say, they
took with them when they left the ship.
| They were absolutely without water,
provisions, oars, sails and proper cloth
ing when they left the brigantine. They
said that they had only time to jump
from their berths into the lifeboat, and
that no opportunity was afforded to
make even slight provisions against cold
and starvation. The seventeen men
who died suffered excruciating tor
ments The survivors seem to have
Jared little better. Two of the men
will lose all of their limbs, and the other
two will lose their feet as a result of the
frost bites.
The men tell a story of a fierce strug-
gle on board the ship for places in the
boats, some thirty of the crew going
down with the wreck. A somewhat
similar fight occurred on board the life
boat the men quarreling about the di-
vision of the flesh of the dog, which was
killed on the morning of the third day.
when four men had already persisted.
Three died the next day, six the next
and four the day previous to their res
cue.
The rescue occurred at midnight on the
sixth day. They were so exhausted
that they found it impossible TO shout
when they saw the lights of the brigan-
tine Amado, which came near running
them down in the darkness.
The men say they saw nothing of the
missing lifeboats after leaving the Val
liant, but they are of the opinion that
three boatloads escaped from the wreck
beside the one already saved. The Cap
tain persisted.
The survivors rescued from the life
boat by the Amado assert that none of
the bodies were mutilated, and that in
this case no cannibalism was attempted.
The condition of the four men previ-
ously rescued continues unchanged.
The circumstances surrounding this
latest rescue are such as to induce the
friends of the missing members of the
crew to believe that other boats may yet
be picked up.

PLAYED A GOOD BALL GAME.
Baker & HamiltonS Defeat the Water
house & Testers.
There Were Some Plays That Would
Have Been a Credit to
Professionals.

There were fully go spectators at
Agricultural Park yesterday afternoon
to witness the third game of the local
Mercantile Baseball League. The clubs
composing the league have been play
ing good ball. especially the Water
house & Lester team, who up to yester-
days game had not been defeated. The
clubs are composed entirely of the en-
ployeS of the different houses, no out
side players being allowed.
The game yesterday was between the
heretofore invincible Waterhouse &
Lester and the Baker & Hamilton
Clubs The latter won the game in the
first inning, owing to the wild pitching
of Yuhre, who gave five bases on balls,
made two wild pitches and was hit for
two doubles and a single, which, with a
few errors, gave the Baker &Hamiltons
eleven runs.
Notwithstanding this lead, the Wa
terhouse & Testers played gallant up
hill game, and held. their opponents
we'll in hand during the remainder Of
the game.
w. E. Newbert and Ben Birdsall each
pitched a fine game, and were well sup
ported by their respective catchers.
Newbert was hit eight times, four being
in the last inning, and struck out thir-
teen batters.
Brdsall allowed but three hits in six
innings, and had seven strike outs to
bis credit. Outside of the batteries the
players had but little to do, and, taken
all in all, the game would have been a
credit to clubs making much greater
DretenSiOnS and was better than many
so-called professional games.
Captain Mike Fisher was in his ele-
ment as umpire, and his decisions were
we'll received and were strictly impair
tial. Following is the score:

list. under the auspices of the Sacra-

high order. and one of the best enter
tainments of its kind seen in Sacra-
mento in a long time.
Nine Johnston Bishop is possessed OF
a soprano voice of wonderful volume,
full rich and melodious, and she took
her difficult notes with apparent ease.
In the sOftest cadence and the grand
est outpouring of song, she was equally
at home, and won merited applause and
an encore after each selection. Unlike
many public singers, Nine. Johnston
Bishops enunciation was distinct
throughout Her performance was a
musical phantasy. and her voice is one
to haunt her+hearers with pleasant
memories.
In response to one of the encores she
sang Comm Thro' the Rye" in a man
ner to remind her hearers of the time
when Emma Abbott set the American
musical world attacking by her rendi-
ton of the same ditty. The selections
rendered by Nine. Johnston Bishop
were Aria Gabrielle" PizzD, aria,
lie Cid" (MasseneO. sleep Little
Rosebud (Chaminade), La Zulgara'
DOnzettD, and Duel Song from
Faust" by request.
Miss Nellie Cook the pianist, was an
artist of ability, and besides accom-
panying the singer she rendered several
selections and was wildly applauded
and recalled time and again The full
possibilities of the instrument were
brought out by her deft fingers and it
seemed as though the spirits of the old
masters We're urging her on to greater
and nobler efforts. She has a master
full touch and the most difficult pas
sages were truthfully rendered
Every selection, both vocal and in
strumental, was a gem, and the Sac
ramento Lecture Association is de-
serving of credit for having secured the
services of such excellent artists

some of his deputies had to be there to
serve summons on citizens who are
wanted to serve on juries, and the SUI

were few occupants of the county
offices left in the city yesterday, but
they had no difficulty in attending to
all the business that came in.
