Old Hunter Tells the Difference Between n
Buffalo Herd in His Day and One Now.
Gazing on the scraEGy remnants Of buffalo
in an inclosure at Glen Island. a Colorado
tourist in the East said:
They are bunaloes. l don't dispute that. but
they are not the kind that used 10 make the
West look like a moving sea. ] reckon you
have read a good deal about extinct buffalo.
Ten years ago l heard that the last buffalo had
been killed-ihe last not in captivity. But the
buffalo. like the Indian. dies hard. And l read
about the last Indian long before l began she'd
ding my hair.
There Is a herd Of buffalo in Colorado that
has been knocking about for thirty years at
least. and a man in that State who has made
buffalo a life study tells me he knows Of two
herds. In 1865 there was a big herd in the
country known as Middle Park. AS the country
was settled by whites the buffalo fell back.
Hunters followed that herd to Milk River. but
in the winter OF 1875 the weather was so severe
that the hunters gave up the chase. That was
the great snow winter in Colorado. The snow
was SO deep that buffalo couldn't get around,
That's an actual fact But II never gets 100
deep for Indians. That winter q, band oil In
dians went after the buffalo and killed mere r
Of whites went out aud got the tallow from the
dead buffalo and made money out Of y
that the Indians had killed every, buffalo IN the
herd. But that was Ike other buffalo stories.
A few weeks later d herd WAS found on the
headwaters Of Troublesome River. was a
hunters killed some Of this herd aud brought
the meat TO market and got into trouble Tor i,
because there is a law against killing buffalo ia
man, but an Indian can hunt and xii anything
he likes and the law never touches him.
Colorado told me that he had counted ten

that he went with the time and tide as ar.
rnnged for. But he never returned: the pro-
phetic dream fulfilled itself TO the letter.
The circumstance was 80 striking that II was
spoken Of many times before the sequel and
discussed afterward. and the memory OF IL is
known TO many. 1t even got into local print.
But the owner OF the ship was sore at his loss
and nettled at the psychic notoriety and did all
he could to uuel its currency.
Judgng from gathered evidence IL would
seem that from no form Of. psychic experiences
do provision aud event tally more closely than
from dreams, except OF course from waking
impression, which Is generally too Intangible
TO make a story. There is known 10 the writer
a man. a serious and anything but eKcitable
man, who jumped up from q sound sleep one
night, eHclaiming aloud
MY father is deadl Ny father is dendl"
His father lived some hundreds of miles away
and he had no intimation Of his illness, In this
case Il was the woman, his wife. who pooh
poohed the matter and tried 70 Danish the i'm
precision. but he insisted:
I saw him dying. / heard him call me"
The next morning brought word that the
father had died that night and wanted To see
his son. SO many stories akin 10 this are told
and well .attested that one can account for them
only on the hypothesis that there are invisible
telephones in the universe which
work only by thought. This is really thetheory
put forth in one or another shape by science.
Will it ever lay tangible grip on the machinery ?

INDIANS ETICr 4 sPAN1ARD.
Drive Him from the Reservation Because
He Hurrahed for Spain.

GORDON. Neb.. Aug. 10.-The Ogallala Sioux
at the Pine Ridge Agency in South Dakota had
an eviction party the other day Of an unusual
kind. Incidentally. they refuted the ISLANDERS Of
the alarmists who predicted outbreaks i'm
mediately after the troops were withdrawn
from the Western forts. Far from killing
whites. the willy Dacota brave is taking "a lively
interest in the war. and no lingo crows louder
over the American victories than the red men
Of the plains.
The eviction resulted from the hostility of
the Indian against Spain. On the reservation
there lived a Spaniard who was married TO u
full-blooded Sioux squaw and eked out an
existence from the Governments bounty To the
squaw andfrom the little money he picked upat
trading and hunting. The Spaniard had lived
on the reservation for many years unmolested
by the Indians.
When word came Of the American naval
victories 10 the Sioux villages there WAS great
po%wwowing and talking and Jubilation at the
prowess OF the Americans. The news got
over to the Porcupine Creek tepees where the
Spaaiard lived. and the Sioux watched him
closely 10 see the effect upon him. When
he heard the news he was nonplussed. hut.
pulling himself together, he split the air with
huZzas for spain. The idea OF anybody shout
ing for spain on their territory shocked the
Indians, and they threatened 10 wing" him
request was sent to MAJOR Clapp. the agent
OF the post, that the Spaniard be expelled.
Major Clapp had him brought in by the Indian
police and questioned him. AT hrst he denied
cheering Spain. but when confronted with
the Indians he dared not lie and tried 10 excuse
himself,

Major.
The Spanlard fed precipitately. Outside was
a squad of Indians waiting for the result OF the
interview. When they heard OF IT. they climbed
on their ponies and with a 'hi-yi" and a war
whoop started Town the trail pell-mel after the
fleeing Spanlard. who Was making good time
through the Hlkall dust TO the Nebraska line,
The reds overhauled the fleeing rider. They
brought their quirts down upon his pony's
sides, uttering yells and grunts and shouting
"chitiha" al him-the word means no good.
For miles they drove the fleeing Spaniari.
circling around and yelling like mad at hin,
Near the State line they gave him a final hust-
ling. and. amid shouts and yells OF derision,
drove him out Of the reservation. The Indians
returned 70 their tepees and had a great Jubi!a-
ton over the event. Next day the Spaniard
received his traps from the police aud drove

less of his station, either as public
official or civilian. than was accorded
the humble soldier boy who was laid
to rest with the others of the nation
dead in the national cemetery yester-
day afternoon. 1t was Il beautiful
sight, lesson in itself, that spoke
more eloquently than words. of the
patriotic devotion of the American
people to those who die in the holy
cause of liberty. 5. l.. Bledsoe was a
poor youth, whom few knew-but
those who did know him admired
him always-one who went M
ana down the streets of Rock
Island day after day and no one
paid any attention to him. But there
came time when his patriotism and
his devotion to country were put to
the test. Boy though he was, he was
ready. He marched with his gallant
comrades to the front-and he died.
As heroic as if cut down by the bull
let or sword of foreign foe, was his
death. He gave his life for his coun-
try-what more can mortal being Of
fer?
And yesterday the people of Rock
Island, with fearful eye and bowed
head witnessed the passing of his
funeral cortege. 1t was sight in
spring in its solemnitv. The boy
king of Spain, for whom Il nation is
today. could have been shown
no greater honor in proportion in old
Madrid. Yet the soldier for whom
loyal hearts in Rock Island poured out
their grief and manifested their
respect was but a poor boy.
But he was dearer to nation. of
which he was a representative. than a
prince, king or potentate could have
