Seen and Chased by Indians and Hunters.

During the summer of 1875 bands Of
Indians returning from a hunt far out
on the plains brought in stories Of hav-

large herd. white buffalo. They had
used their best horses in the effort to

able IN get any where near the animal.
At first we did not pay much attention
to these stories. but still il kept crop

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 Blackfeet, who were hunt

moved north In vast numbers, and the
prairie was black with them.

band of about roo animals burst out Of

and, yes, most certainly, in the middle
of them was white buffalo Although
they were quarter of mile away,
there could be no mistake about IL. He
was there as large as life and quite
white and running like deer. There
was no time to much more than take in
the scene, but gathered up the reins
and was after him, determined to bag
that buffalo or kill my horse.
Oh what q race it was, mile after

the exception Of about a dozen, had
split off and gone in different direc-

boy in a country store at Flat Rock,
Bourbon county. Ky. Ulysses s. Grant

O., not many miles distant One day
Grant drove over to Flat Rock with the
niece Of my employer. Grant was then
10 years old. awkward, ungainly, de-
termined. industrious and very poorly
dressed. He drove a vicious horse. The
night after his arrival at Flat Rock he
slept with me in the store. 1t was a cold
night, and we boys kept close to the
lee Of the counter.
I'm the morning Grant asked me IL he
could assist me. Isaid Yes He help

out the store and put stock in place.
After breakfast he drove of. I heard
from him afterward Of his drive home.
Before he had gone far from Flat Rock

A world forlorn, with one sad moon
