THE ONLY WHITE BUFFALO.
Seen and Chased by Indians and Hunt
ers, but Never Caught.

Seen and Chased by Indians and Hunt
ers, but Never Caught.
During the summer of 1879 bands OF In
dians returning from hunt far out en-
the plains brought in stories of having
seen at different times and in different
places, and always in the center of large
herd, a white buffalo. They had used
their best horses in the effort to overtake
it, to no purpose, never being able to get
anywhere near the animal.
At frs. We did not pay much attentio n
te these stories, but still it kept cropping
I'D from different camps, and at last in
the fall of 1875 l myself had a chance to
verify the truth of the report. l had been
sent on duty north along the Red Deer
River and was camped near a large band
OF Dackfeet, who were hunting south OF
that river. The buffalo had moved north
in vast mum bers a nd the prairie was black
with them.
| had gone out one morning with q
party of Blackfeet to see one of their
hunts, and also TO try and kill for myself.
Ny horse was a good one, and much
faster than any belonging to the Indian
hunters. L had got detached from the
party, becoming tired OF the Slaughter,
and must have been at least twenty miles
from camp, when / made for a small cium D
OF timber not far off, intending TO
build fire and roast a portion OF buffalo
meat had on the saddle with me. As l
approached the wood a band of about 100
anlmals burst out OF the brush and
made off to the south, and yet, most GER
tainly, N the miadle OF them was a
white buffalo. Although tney
were quarter of a mile away,
there could be no mistake about it; he
was there as large as life and quile white
and running like a deer. There was no
time 10 much more than take in he scene
but I gathered up the reins and was after
HIM, determined to bag that buffalo or
kill my horse.
Oh, what u race it as, mile after mile
and although all the band, with the ex-
ception of about a dozen, had split off and
gone in different directions, the white ami
NAL, with his bodyguard of about a dozen,
kept about the same d stance ahead.
could catch glimpse of him now and
then, and there was no doubt he was snow
white. Get within shot I could not for
many miles.
At last they began to tire, and, although
my horse tired also, had gooo hopes of
coming up and getting a shot. a las for
such a chance. OF sudden my horse
lurched forward on his nose. sending me
over his head onto the prairie, and turn
ing a somersault himself, missing me by
only few feet. He had put his loot into
a badger hole, and had brought my no pes
of white robe to sudden end.-Forest

That was ranked as capital offense in
Leadville in those days, punishable with
death. But the culprlt was from Joplin,
and had many friends in the camp, albeit
the courtroom was crowded with them
all determined, as every true Missourian
is, to see justice done. In the midst OF the
proceedings a slentorian voice was heard
in the rear of the room shouting:

BERKELEY, CAL, Aug. 7.-Malcolm
King, a well.known Berkeley citizen, liv-
ing on Durant avenue, has spent some
time in Peru, ana he believes there is
gold in the land of the Incas in great
quantities.
He says that no miners have been alb e
to reach it. however, and tnat there will
be plenty of hardships and loss of life
before Peru yields up her golden treasures.
''The dangers" says he, "of the South
American country are very different from
those of the Klondike. In Peru it is hos

ing miners in the past, and no small force

There is no doubt that the Serro del
Sol is rich country, but 1t is risky
proposition for any small company of
miners to enter there. There is no doub
in my mind but what some heavy fighting
will have TO be done before the country is
explored. l have been told some stories
of remarkably rich goldfields, and have no
doubt but what there is great deal OF
truth in them.
"Some day party will go there strong
enough to oppose the Indians and their
deadly arrows. and then the world may
hear of another rich source of gold"

QUEER OURRANT BUSHES.

Inc Butcher Told the Woman to Plant
hem Upside Down and She Did So.
Over the river, in President street
Brooklyn. there lives a woman who pos
sesses some of the most remarkable cur
rant bushes to be found anywhere.
When the bushes were propagated they
neither came from remarkable stock nor
were they in any way peculiar when the
nurseryman sold them. Their novel feat
ures now are the result of joke, perpe-
trated first upon contidlng woman and
then In turn upon nature.
Near where the woman lives is a butcher
shop. The butcher is jolly fellow who
not only sells good meats, out also in the
spring deals in plants and shrubs, and he
sells Christmas trees a the holidays. The
woman dec ded last spring that she would
like to grow currants, and so she ordered
ten bushes from the butcher. He deliv-
cred them, and as he was going away and
the woman was going into the yard to
plant them he called to her jovially:
"Be sure to plant them upside down."
why, of course she answered. and
then congratulallng herself That she had
got piece of valuable information Just in
time to save herself from making a great
mistake. she carefully planted the ten
bushes roots upward.

few days was delighted to find buds
sprouIing and leaves bursting forth from
the air-fed roots, and although four died,
the Others thrived.
How are your plants getting on 2'
asked the butcher one day in the summer.
"Oh, splendidIy!" the woman answered.
tCome and see them"
The woman had never raised curra Mt
bushes before, and therefore nothing about
these had seemed strange TO her, but the
moment the butcher saw them ne re-
marked the peculiar way in which the
branches dropped and their strange
forms.
Il planted them just as you told me
to, said the woman, land all but four OF
them lived"
That explained the curious appear
ance OF the plants. The roots had become
transformed in their functions and pro-
duced leaves instead of rootlets. but they
had continued TO grow in their natural
gnaried shape and with a drop. The
butcher has tried to buy the curious
bushes and also to raise some like them,
but neither the woman nor nature tavors
him this time, and h e has not succeeded IN
either direction.-New York Sun.

the An NAL With PHI chfork.
John August, a farmer living on Wood
ward Hill. was attacked by bull last
night and would have been gored to death
had it not been for the brave rescue by his
nine-year- -old son Robert.
The bull had never shown any special
viciousness, though, of course, every one
knew that it was not Well 10 do anything
to incur his dispieasure. Just what oc
Cured last night to roll him no one can
tell. When Mr.. August entered the in
closure in wbich the animal was kept he
had no fear of an attack so long as he
went about his own affairs. Therefore he
was utterly unprepared when the animal
came down upon him like whirlwind.
At close quarters there was no opportu-
nifty or time to escape. With qui iverlng
nostrils and lowered head, filling the air
with his belIowings, the bull rushed
upon him. For moment Mr.. August
lodged successfully, yet he knew that
final escape was impossible except by q
miracle.
The infuriated beast had caught him
with his horns and had torn his flesh. In
another moment he would have been again
attacked. But at this point his
stricken, seIzed pitchfork and fearlessly
began comb It with the now raging ami
NAL. No braver act was ever witnessed in
the Roman arena, when gadiators met

world cou.d bring before them. At the

but would not be diverted from his prey.
But as he felt the sharp prongs again he
| turned his head toward the little fellow,
who, mboldened by the fact that the
beast had turned his attention for an in
slant from his victim, redoubled the at
tack, meanwhile shouting encouragement
! to his father.
The bull hesitated as though perpIexed
by the nature of his puny adversary.
| Following up his advantage, aided now

on the retreat. The chance had come,
and both father and son escaped from Inc
