BUFFALO HUNT DEBT IS PAID
Bonds Issued by Kansas Settlers in
Distress Redeemed at
| Last

Reno county, Kansas. has just paid
off a $1,000 bond issue to an eastern
firm, which cancels a debt of seventeen
years ago to save che people of that
county from starvation. This issue of
bonds was made fraudulently, bat the
/ eastern investors when they learned of
the true conditions, failed to prosecute
the offenders. The bonds We're issued
and sold by the county CLERK. who said
the money was to be used for the ac-
commodation for an increase in the
number Of school children. This seemed
to be pretty good sign that the county
was improving, and hence the invest
ors in New York bit like the real fish
they We're all through the great Kan
Sas boom.
=, In 1884 grasshoppers took all the
crops while in the two previous years
they had generally been charitable
enough to leave sufficient to feed the
families through the winter. Thus the
fall OF 1884 found Kansans near
" destitute. and with not thing in
their houses for the winter. James
Barclay, then county clerk, called
mass meeting and volunteered to spend
his own money in going east to sell
s. 900 issue of school bonds II the people
would vote them. They promised to is
sue them then and there. These bonds
were sold for $1.50o and the money
brought back to Reno county.
Like tn real Kansas Halbow chasers
Of early days. the people did not try to
spend the money for -four and meat,
but put it into ammunition. They were
going to kill buffalo. Most of the in
habitants had never been west of their
own country, but they thought buffalo
existed in large numbers. So the whole
male population. numbering then about
500. took guns in hand and started wese-
ward. After they had penetrated far
into Oklahoma they sighted and killed
q herd of fifty. As they were making
for home with them spell OF warm
weather came on, and all the meat was
spoiled. They managed to skin the car
cases and sold the hides for enough to
nay for the ammunition used. Then,
with only $500 OF the $3.50 left. they
started to buying the necessities Of
life. The debt they had created did not
worry them in the least, but the thrifty
farmers Of that county who came there
later have worried great deal over II

aside from the search for mines It had
many a humorous incident connected
with it, that are occasionally told by
Romantics to this day.
1.-THE stampede was started by a young
fellow who came in from the West Gal
latin basin after spending q week camp
ing. He had little bag Of gold nuggets.
such as are commonly found in the gold
bearing gravel where the placer ground
is rich. The nuggets were. the genuine
article and they started the stampede.
'The tenderfoot told his secret to a
steckman under the strictest pledge OF
silence and then the trouble began. The
stockman made up a party to journey to
the new diggings and locate them. He
invited only few of his intimate friends
to be in the deal and the tenderfoot de-
scribed the place where he claimed to
have found the nuggets SO that there
could be no mistake about 1t. So with
their pockets full OF location notices the
members of the little cavalcade set forth.
"The tenderfoot stayed In town. Be-
fore starting he made map of the place
where he found the gold and intrusted
his secret to the members Of the party
for a sum of money large enough to take
him back to his native stamping ground
in the east.

counter to the conspicuous positions in
the mercantile world they now occupy.
Twenty years have made changes in the
firms of Butte. In the years o. D. Ran
dali, travelling man, friend and loyal ad-
mirer of Butte's business men, has been
coming here there have been ups and
downs innumerable in the business
world. Now that the old travelling man
is gone, not a few Of the merchants will
miss him and wish that his retirement
will be full Of sunshiny days.
Mr.. Randall has Travelled for silk
house during the years he has been COM
ing to Butte. The same firm in st. Louis
has employed him all these years. The
head of the house is younger man than
the aged drummer, whose hair is whiten-
ing in the declining sun of three score
and thirteen, and the bond between en-
plOyer and empoye is, as may be sup
posed, somewhat stronger than is found
in most business houses.
In the Early Days.
When Mr.. Randall first came to Butte
he came in over the Short Line when the
track was narrow gagged and the stores

primitive logs, and the city of Butte gave

about it, or suspects the truth which,
after all. is just about as bad for the
man with the secret.
80 when the news of the West Gala
tin placer had travelled as far as was
necessary to make up party Of four Or
five the news began to spread and A.
nally the sensation assumed the proper
tions Of a stampede.
"'It was in the dead of night when the
adventurous miners started for the West
Gallatin. sixty miles from Bozeman. It
was still midnight when half the town
started on their trail. At sunrise the
trail was black with horsemen. all head
ed for the same point. At first those who
were uncertain regarding the location Of
the diggings kept in the rear. but when
the first twenty miles had been covered
they knew there could be only one place
where the mine could be located and that
was the West Gallatin basin. Then those
behind began to move up and those In
front tried to keep the lead. The race
finally became q mad scramble for first
place in the procession and the leaders
run neck and neck like quarter horses
coming through the stretch.
One man In the crowd was handicap

rowed a horse from one the men who

little promise Of its present splendid ds-


velOpment.
Now that Butte has grown older, the
drummer who came to Butte when it
was young has aged, too. While the
town has gained in strength he has
grown gray under the weight Of years.
The hand of time has borne upon hirl
with compassion, however and he is
