marked Sheriff Taylor, of Sherman, Texas, according to the Memphis Scimitar, .'that the American bison, is an extinct animal, but that is a great mistake. It is true that in comparison with the numbers, of the beasts that used to thunder over the western plains the numbers now to be found are. Insignificant; but yet there are some in existence, and there are measures now under contemplation for the prop agation of the species, so that in time they may become reasonably common again. zr
 II know of only one herd of buffalo in Texas, that belonging to Mrs. Mary Goodnight, of the Goodnight Cattle company, in the Panhandle. Her herd comes down from the original stock of the Staked Plains. Several years ago the herdsmen of the Goodnight pas lures captured three calves and after 1omesticat ting them as much as their natures would permit proceeded to breed them. This was done as pas-~ time and without any special purpose, in view until the race began to go out of existence, and then itwas decided to ! go into the inbreeding as an industry. So the herd has grown until now it numbers about 70, 60 or more being full-grown and healthy specimens of the species.
 II have often seen these animals on the Goodnight range, and they certain ly bring. to mind the old time on the plains. The Goodnight people have the means to go into the cultivation of the buffalo on liberal scale. and in Texas it is understood to be the purpose of the managers for Mrs. Goodnight to dis pose. of none of the stock for period of years, say 25, when the herd will number something like 5,0O0.5 j }s f''~
 ''I am told that there are other herds in the United States. Buffalo Jones, of Kansas, has a large .herd.e He has always taken great interest in the propagation of the. animals, and of late has been working on a scheme to have the United States government to set aside a large pasture for the ex- elusive range of bufraloes, the breed ing stock to be, contributed. by Mrs..

panied him to Williampsort. where

Petersburg, Va, March 12.-About
Q O'Clock yesterday morning the dead
body of William f.. Tinsley, proprie-
tor of q bar-room, was found in his
room over his place Of business by
his colored bartender. In his left
temple there was a bullet wound self
inflicted with a 32 caliber f~ye-shooter
revolver. which was found by his
side. At what time the fatal shot was
fred is not known but it is supposed
to have been done at an early hour OF
the morning.
During the carnival in Richmond,
some months ago, Tinsley was robbed
of 81, 500 in money and the loss SO
preyed upon his mind that he has
been Respondent ever since. In his
pockets there were found two certif-
Gates Of deposits for about 5000, and
about 800 in currency. besides some
jwelery.
Tinsley was well known in sporting
circles Throughout Virginia. He was
a powerful man and was the most
perfect type of physical manhood in
this city. In a fight he was easily the
match for half a dozen men, as he had
often proved. When a young man he
worked at his fathers sawmill and
unassisted would handle timbers that
required three ordinary mill hands.
Tinsley was at IN time a mem
Der of the police force of this city.

MAY GET LIBRARY SOON.
Judge Handley's Request of s250,000
wiIlshortIy be Available.

Winchester. Va. March 13.-Judge
T. w. Harrison, in the Circuit Court,
handed down an opinion in the suit
of the board Of Handley trustees
against the city of Winchester by
which the city will receive the $780,
900 library provided for in Judge
John Handlev's viii sooner than the
provisions of the will indicated.
Judge Handley died in 1894, leav
ing a million dollars tt Winchester
for various purposes. His will pro-
vided that $3.50, 900 should be invested
in Virginia bonds till the accumulat-
ed interest eqauled the principal, and
then the total sun of $500, 600 spent
for the library. The Handley trustees
petitioned the Circuit Court to define
the powers and to construe the por-
tion Of the will relating to the library.
The court held that the circumstan-
ces surrounding Judge Handley when
he made his will should be taken into
consideration. AT that time Judge
Handley was at the head of an i'm
provement company here, and he be-
lieved Winchester would become a
great city. Hence his disproportion-
ate bequest for the library. Under
the court s opinion the construction
of the library may be begun shortly.

COL. T. B. DAVIS GIFT.
He Donates Fifteen Acres of Land az
Keyser for q school Purposes.

Keyser, w. Va, March l2-The
citizens of Keyser are jubliant over
the gift made by Col. Thomas b.
Davis to the citizens Of Keyser of 10
acres of land on Fort hill for the use
of the preparatory department of the
State University, which is to be re-
moved to Keyser by q recent act of
the Legislature.
The gift was made by Colonel Davis
to aid the citizens to meet a require
ment made by the bill that the town
Of Keyser OF its citizens give, either
in money or lands, the sum of $4,000.
Colonel Davis gift in itself is worth
not less than three times the amount
required by the bill, yet it is under
stood chat other handsome assistance
will be given by the town and indi-
yiduals of the town. The site is a
beautiful one, overlooking Keyser
and being so situated as to be in full
view Of every approach to the town.
No other institution in the state will
have a more beautiful or desirable
location. Many old soldiers, who
were encamped here during the civil
war, will remember Fort hill, on
which were located the intrench-
ments and guns guarding the town.
The old intrenchments are yet plain
to be seen, Notwithstanding the fact
that 40 years almost, have passed
since they were thrown up. 1t is
believed that work ON the building
will begin Immediately after the bill
becomes effective, which will be
about June Is, 1901.
