we We're among the first to &c to Vir-
ginia City. The trip from our starting
point on the Missouri river occupied
nearly three months. n the greater
part of hat time I was employed as a
scout for the train, because of my knowl-
edge of scouting gained while with the
Indians.
For three days and nights we were
lost in the terrible Bad Lands with
out water or food, but finally continued,
u route passing through a portion of
what is now the great Yellowstone
park.
Here was a sight that will never be
witnessed again-the herds of buffalo
that canned the prairies Of the Yellow
stone. Nothing was more feared than
a stampede of buffalo. With their
look up, they would go pell-mell over
the plains, and should even a high river
bank be reached they would continue on
their mad race, trampling to death all
who fell beneath.
I have seen buffalo so thick that we
would be compelled to stop u train
and shoot among them to frighten and
drive them away before we could camp
The earth at times seemed to tremble
beneath their tread, but today all that
remains as a reminder Of those great
herds of noble beasts are a few domes-
tic herds.

ginia City.
There were no laws or courts In those
! days, only such as were made by the
miners, who would gather at the stores
and plan what they would do with the
desperadoes. I have seen the bodies Of
men left hanging from h limbs of
trees for days as a warning to GRIM
inals.

engaged in the cattle business in North

Of which time I did not see the face of a

friendly Indians.
My first shipment of cattle was made
nine years ago, and my journey to Chi
cago at that time was also my first visit

companied my annual shipment to Chi

''Quo Vadis'' will be presented for one
week., commencing Sunday matinee,
March 1S. The play is in six acts, and
without any doubt the most elaborate
and expensive production ever staged in
our city. Owing to the extreme length
of the play, there will be no vaudeville
acts in conjunction with this master pro-
duction. The prices will remain just the
same, Notwithstanding the cost incurred
in the panoramic scenic presentation!
This play will not be produced by anna
tours. Every important character will
be faithfully portrayed by experienced
artists of ability. Knowing how quick
the Butte people are to be thoroughly
advised and acquainted with all popu-
lar books and plays of the day. We do
not deem is necessary to tell them what
"Quo Vadis'' is today, the reigning sem
sation of the world. Hundreds of thou
sands of people who never attended a
performance have clamored for admis-
sion to see "Quo Vadis."
P. S.-Read the book.

SENSATIONAL-"QUO vADlS."

Dick P. Sutton of Sutton's theater re-
ceived the following letter a few days
ago concerning the most popular sensa-
ton of the day, pertaining to j stage
production:
old Time Friend Dick-If you want
to make a sure hit and some money as
we'll out in your city, take my advice
and produce Quo Vadis' quick. You
will find it a very expensive production,
as it does require a perfect ceilings of
good ancient scenery. A large cast of
good people and good wardrobe. The
play should run for two weeks in your
city, and, by the a Sutton, charge at
least 81 for your best seats. I think it
will cost you $2,0 0 to stage the play
properly, but you should, as I said be-
fore, run it two weeks. 1t is the only
play ever put o in Chicago where they
were compelled to use two box offices
and give two performances daily to ac-
commodate the public. That was at Nc
Vicker's theater, n it run for weeks.
and could have run for a month longer.
but as other shows had contracts for the
house the management was compelled to
close the most remarkable engagement
ever MIA we'd in that citV.'

Rowerdink presided. Many speeches
were made, explaining the situation in
South Africa and clearly demonstrating
the justice of the Boer cause. The
speakers were applauded long and re-
peatedly. The national hymns of the
Transvaal, of Germany and of Holland
were rendered in their original. Many
nationalities were represented in the
audience. A liberal contribution had
formerly been made for Red Cross pur-
poses in the Boer army. Resolutions
condemning England in their war and
expressing sympathy with the Beers
were adopted. The meeting closed by

~PILLSBURY'S CHESS
Famous American Player Appears at
Grand Forks.

HIN. Pillsbury, the famous American
chess player, was the guest of the Whist
Club at Grand Forks. During the after
noon Mr.. Pillsbury played % games IL
of chess and IL of checkers, with the
best players in the city and a few out of
town, the games going on simultaneously.
He defeated all the chess players
with the exception of j. q. Lewis, in
which the game was drawn, and he also
defeated all the checker players with the
exception of @. j.. Hurd, who succeeded
in forcing a draw also. During the
afternoon only gentlemen we're present
but at the evening session there was
quite a sprinkling of ladies. Before the
play started Mr.. Pillsbury gave several
exhibitions of his remarkable power t o
memorize, one consisting of having six
persons present write a list of five names
numbering each lame. These names
with their respective number were read
to Mr.. Pillsbury once, after which any
person giving the number of a name, he
Would promptly give the name following
it or, the name being given he would as
promptly give the number. Heconclud-
ed by repeating rapidly, the entire list
of names forward and backward, with
their respective numbers. The balance
of the evenings exhibition consisted Of a
game of whist, and a simultaneous play
of six games each of checkers and chess.
In the checker and chess games MI.
Pillsbury never once saw the boards and
scarcely hesitated in his whist play to
announce what his moves were. He
carried the entire twelve games in his
head, without apparently any effort, and
without interfering in the least with his
whist playing.
