Buffalo in Western Montana.

Recently a number of buffalo bones
were exhumed in the ditch now being
dug in Grass Valley, and wonderment
was expressed, the general belief be-
ing that buffalo never ranged on the
western slope of the Rockies. This
belief is dispelled by the following
letter:
"Ravalli, May 10.-To the Missoul-
ian: About buffalo bones being found
in Grass valley is nothing strange.
Chief Arlee and also Chief Michel
have hunted buffalo in Grass valley
and Frenchtown, about IS years ago,
and from there toward the Rockies
were thousands upon thousands about
55 years ago. Those chiefs have told
me about their chase many a time
Respectfully yours,
DUNCAN M'DONALD.
"P. S. l have uncovered buffalo
heads in my orchard here.
D. MD"
1t is said, presumably on goou au-
thority, that no white man ever saw
buffalo west of the main range of the
Rocky mountains. The late X. Bed
Ter told the writer that the first trip
he ever made to Hell Gate he talked
with an old Flathead Indian chief,
who told him that at one time buffalo
were as plentiful in western as in
eastern Montana and that they left
because the young men had offended
the Great Spirit. When the buffalo
herds in countless numbers grazed
the Flathead reservation and around
Flathead lake, they were led by a
little red bull which was the recog-
nized king of all the buffalo. The old
men knew the king and whenever the
young men started on a hunt they
were warned not to kill the king, as
the buffalo would leave their grazing
grounds and wander away if they
aid. On one occasion a mighty hunt
ing party was formed. Signs all
pointed to a severe winter and it was
necessary to procure sufficient meat
to last during the cold days.
On the morning the young men
started out they were warned as
usual by the old men not to modest
the little red bull and promised
obedience. A large herd of buffalo
was encountered in Grass valley, the
little red bull among them. The
slaughter began, the animals fleeing
east in such numbers that He'll Gate
canyon, the entrance to Missoula
from the east, became choked with
the animals. In the excitement OF
the chase the little red bull was
killed. Sufficient meat was obtained
for that winter, but the following
spring the buffalo went east and
never again were seen west of the
Rockies.
This was the legend that was told
to Biedler. No one knows why the
buffalo disappeared from western
Montana. All that is known is that
they were as thick at one time in the
west as they were in the eastern and
northern part of the state, but at a
much earlier period of time. Now
nearly all of the buffalo of the once
mighty herds that grazed upon the
plains of Montana are found in the
small Allard herd in the Flathead
reservation, a country the animals
once left of their own free will, neve!
to willingly return.-Missoulian

The white BARRIERS of Minnesota will
have to shave Afro-Americans- here
after, or face the legal consequences.
Lawyer Charles. L. Scrutchin of Benz
idjii, in that state, wanted a shave,
and was refused it. He instituted suit
under the new civil rights law of the
state, and won the case. We have a
lot Of laws everywhere in our favor.
but we very seldom appeal to it.-New
York Age
And what of the black brute that
does the very same thing? Of the
two, is not the black man a thousand
times more despicable for refusing
black men accommodation than the
white man? The white man believes
that he has a reason and an excuse
for SO doing; the black man knows
that he has none, and yet he does it.
The colored man that will operate any
kind Of business and refuses to accom-
modate people of his own nationality
should be spurned by every self-re-
specting black man in the United
States. Such a skunk, whether he be
barber or any other kind of bust
ness man, should be kicked out of the
homes Of every colored man in the
country If there is any class of col
Ored men against whom the doors of
every home owned by colored people
should be closed it is the despicable
cur that admits that his own people
are too low and degenerate to be
served by him.

THIRD AVENUE THEATRE.

The White Slave" although it is
a play which has been here many
times, is one of those meldoramas of
which the public does not seem to
grow tired. It's chief charm is that
the cut and thrust game of the hero
and villain is often relieved by deli
cate touches of character study and
by old-time Negro music. In addi-
ton, the scenes and situations are
picturesque, and the action is brisk
and pleases the lover Of emotional eX-
element Everybody knows the story
of The White Slave," and it is use
less to repeat it. That it has not out
grown it's popularity will be shown
next week when it will be seen at the

Here of late the lone colored student"
seems to be holding the right of way
class leadership from an educational
standpoint throughout the North, and
the University Of Michigan is not alone
in her Eugene Marshall. 1t is rather
strange that the lone colored student
in the leading universities of this coun-
try should develop into such educa-
tional wonders, but they do and it can
only be accounted for from the fact
that the colored student is generally
ostracised from most Of the social af-
fairs of the school, and he has moth
ing to do to occupy his time as we'll
as mind but to study, and study he
does. After plying himself in that way
for a while, he finds it to be most
excellent opportunity to return the
slurs that have been given him by
his fellow students, and so he strives
to lord it over them in the class room.
The professor takes to the idea and
perhaps encourages him and he de-
velops almost at once into class won
der and of course the hOnOrs of the
class naturally fall on him. If in the
school there we're a sufficient number
of colored students with which they
could form societies of their own, or
if the lone colored student was not Os-
tracised from the social functions of
the institution it is very doubtful if he
would be as successful as he has been
at the various universities Of this
country where he is to be found as in
the past. Necessity is the mother of
all inventions.

New Neqro Republic.

If the plans of the United States
government do not miscarry, the re-
public of Cuba will be launched May
LIST, and President Palma inaugurated
on that day. This means that an
other American republic similar to
Hayti will be born to the governments
of the world and become an actuaIity
on that day. While President Palma
is not Of African descent, as is the
president of Hayti, nevertheless the
island sooner or later will have a pres
ident in whose veins African blood
flows, and the first president of the
country would have been just such a
president if the United States had not
taken an active interest in the cam
paign in the island of Cuba and saw
to it that Mr.. Palma was elected over
his Afro-Cuban competitor The isl
and of Cuba is made up largely of col
ored men and so largely that they
will become the domineering faction

blacks who are actual citizens of

Of course damage money will be some
thing Of recompense to his parents
for the loss of their sons life, but
such luf1ans should be punished by

be reached through state courts. That

the state of Missouri, but a resident
of the state of Illinois and if the var
ious states will not protect interstate

should enact laws that will do So.

WRIGHT Makes Right.

A few days ago Lewis F. Wright, a
minstrel man of color, was lynched in
a small Missouri town for defending
himself against the attacks of num-
Der of ruffians, who attended the min
strel performance and did not believe
they were getting their moneys worth
from the show. Now number of the
leading white citizens of Chicago have
encouraged the relatives and parents
of Wright to enter suit against the
state of Missouri for damages. To be-
gin such law suit it requires consid-
cradle money to defray the natural ex-
expenses, but this has not deferred
those who urged it in single instance,
for they have literally contributed
money from their purses to defray
such expenses and the case will be be-
gun in the federal courts as soon as
