His heart jumped into his throat and

II was like shooting at ducks sitting on

His companions had a long start Of him,

FEAR KILLED TIE BUFFALO.
A Big bull Scared Ia Death by the Shock
of a Locomotives Whistle.

although ! was on the plains when
bufraloes were there by the hundreds Of
thousands" said an old-tme locomotive
engineer, Il never killed but one, and |
didn't mean 10 do thu.
1T was the first year tho Santa Fe Rail
road was opened up through Kansas. /
was an engineer on that road, and one day
my train wcs held up not far from Dodge
City by great herd Of bufIaloes that were
travelling south.
Il ran az near 10 the herd "a ! could get,
and then stopped to wait until it passed.
for might as well have dashed my engine
against "a stone wall as try to force way
through that living mass
.Of the buffaloes that could see us, which
were only those on the edge Of the herd,
only one seemed 20 be disturbed by our
intrusion on that vast prairie. This was
the enormous bull | referred 10.
HE actually lowered head and shoulders
above his fellows He was near tho head
of the column. and left the ranks when he
stepped upon the railroad.
Advancing toward the locomotive he
came to within a few yards Of IL, where
with nose TO the ground, he paved the dirt
and beloved and snorted defiance, show
ing every disposition to forcibly resent
our coming into his domain.
AS he stood there In the middle Of the
track. becoming fiercer and hercer, pulled
my whistle valve wide open Such a wild,
piercing, hair-raisng shrek as that loco
motive let 60 had never split the air in that
far Western country before
1t struck the great bull with such terror
that he rose on his hind feet as il he had
been shot up hy blast. his immense head
and shaggy name and pondcrous shoulders
towering straight up in the air. An in
stant the bull stood that way, his eyes big
and staring with terror, and then he topplea
over like a falling tree and came down

He was dead before he struck the ground

more In two hours than he can lug home
In four. That Is pretty fair killing.
This Is an instance of the number Of them
still TO be encountered in that region south
OF the international and Great Northern
Railway and west OF the San Antonio River:
Last fall James l.. Sullivan and two friends
were hunting jacksnipe on one Of the prairies
OF Nueces county.
They were shooting over some soggy
land which lay near TO Willow Creek. Near
sunset they gathered at the four-seated
cart which had brought them to the ground
and prepared to go TO camp Snipe were
ankle-deep In the bottom OF the vehicle and
they were satisfied.
Looking eastward Sullivan saw at
distance Of n mile or more a large flock
of sheep which were making their way
slowly toward Willow Creek, grazing APP
parently as they came. He could not see
the shepherd and called the attention OF
his companions to the animals
They watched idly while the negro was
getting the two mules into harness. Five
minutes later one of the party exclaimed:
by Georgel They're turkeys"
Two minutes later they saw that he was
right This flock, which numbered possi-
bly, 500 individuals, WAS making its way
to roost.
It walked rapidly Before dark it was
seen TO strike the thick fringe Of creek trees
a mile above the spot where the hunters
stood.
Next morning they found the roost be,
fore daylight without trouble and killed
IA half-dozen of tho great birds. they
broke camp that day and returned to busi-
ness.
At best they could have had roost shoot
ing for only a day or two, as the birds would
have scattered II molested further.
This rooet was, Cf course, of unusual
size. In fact, Il was probably the largest
ever noted in the Southwest,
Roosts of a hundred or more, however,
are common enough along the lower Neu-
ces, Sabinal. Erie, Leon and Rio Grande
rivers. The birds are difficult TO reach
in daylight. but may be shot with little
trouble at dawn or on moonlit nights.

GAME FIGHT or A MALLARD.
Battle in the Air between q Duck and
Hungry Hawk.

The strength In the air of fullgrown
rnllard Is considerable. Howard Crutcher,
surgeon Of Chicago. tells Of a battle royal
bet tween earth and sky which he saw in
Louisiana.
Swamp Lake Is a body Of water not more
than a mile long and quarter-mile vide,
which lies in the eastern part OF Bossier
parish. There is dark hawk in that coun-
try which the negroes call an eagle. 1t Is
not 80 large as the bald eagle by one fourth,
but il IL just as savage and is strong.
Perched on top Of cypress 100 feet above
the lake was one OF these hawks. II was
nearly noon and the ducks we're hidden
in the flags and water growth. The hawk
was hungry.
On the lake in fat-bottomed, blunt
ended punt was Crutcher. negro boy,
born tired, stood in the stern and forced
the punt slowly with pole.
A mallard drake, every jewelled feather
cleaning in the sun, flushed thirty yards
in front, going upward and forward fast.
Crutcher undershot it with the right barrel.
further undershot it with the left and swore
loudly.
The hawk leaped in air and with no re-
gard TO the meiI in the boat plunged with
mallard back Of the wings and nailed it
with It's talons. Its hold was far enough
back to permit free play OF the ducks
pinions and the fight began.
The drake sQuawlSed dismally. and, still
desperately straining upward, the par
rose fifty feet, their wings beating the air
violently. Then the mallard bore down.
ward, its weight aiding.
Despite its utmost resistance the hawk
was carried with it until the two we're not
more than yard above the water Az
this time they were 100 yards from the
boat.
Then the hawk by mighty efforts lifted
It's prev some ten yards up and the two
began TO travel in small circles, neither
rising nor falling. The duck uttered cry
now and again; the hawk was silent.
Ii did not attempt TO use its beak. once
II had lowered its head as If 10 strike, but
was buiTeted by the mallard's wings and
did not repeat the attompt.
The pair SO battled for a space Of five
minutes, with nett her gaining an advantage.
II was evident that the hold Of the talons
was only through the skin Of the back,
and hat the duck was not disabled.
Gradually the superior wng-spread and
strength of the hawk told. The couple,
locked in The embrace of death, began TO
go upward. Progress was not rapid, but
sure.
The hawk was carrying the four pounds
weight of tho duck and fighting against
it's desire to regain the water but II was
competent to the work When the COM
batants were sev-nty-flve yards high
Crutcher, who had been alternately cheer
ing them and swearing az the negro for
his slowness, vas directly under them.
He shot, but did no damage.
When an altitude Of approximately 100
wards had been reached the mallard's
struggles ceased. lts head hung down,
and there was only an occasional tlutter
Of It's wings. Possibly the hawk had man

The dark slayer flew heavily with its
auiesocnt burden TO an oak tree fifty yards
from the lake perched on a limb and began
to rip the feather from the body.

DrCK SHOOTING FROM 4 TREE,
A Great Morning OF sport for Enders With
single Drawback.

The shooting Of ducks in waste places
has its peculiari'ics, and the experience
Of William Enders who was down in SOUTH
ern Arkansas, is a case in point
He went on, on Goose Lake early in the
morning expecting big bag. He reached
a good place before daylight, set out his
docoys, hid lis boat and waited for light.
Goose Lake il shallow and contains
many cypress trees Of big Girth. Enders
was a quarter Of mile from shore and
had no way Of conccaling himself except
by standing behind one of the trees in water
nearly 10 his waist.
This had its disadvantages. He could
not see through a three-foot tree 10 watch
his decoys sct temptingly twenty Yards
distant II he beard the sound Of wings
ana pcckcd around the tree the incoming
ducks saw him-as they will always see
ANYTHING in motion-and SHE'D off. More
over, the water was cold.
He stood until nearly o'clock without
getting shot, through probably u million
ducks had passed over his head out of gun
shot or TO either side out Of gunshot He
could hear the guns Of camp companions
booming up and down the lake and he got
desperate.
He had a dozen good decoys, was an old
hunter and knew that they were set at
proper intervals in proper places with their
heads in the proper direction. He no
ticed that the cypress behind which he
stood had plenty of branches beginning
some ten ico' from the surface of the water
and these branches had the ieathery leaf
ing peculiar 10 that water tree.
v The bark was rough, there were n good
many large cX"rr-CrrCcs afording hand
and 'foofiu'd and ho determined Ia climb

around as his body at MS back and the
Others ur his yignt and left. II" was as
coufurtlll" a. ID in chair.
The limbs and froudage wcre just thick
enough go hide him perfectly and thin
enough 10 leave him vision and room to
swing the gun. Not much swinging was
necessary.
Tn" birds mallards, pintais. gadwalls
and teal seeing the decctH would circle
two or three times arounGl the tree. then
