BUFFALO CEASES
 W0U[D-BE GATORS
AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE OF
 THREE UTAH MEN.
ANIMAL OFTEN cORNERED
But the Willy Bison Refused to Stay Caught - Vaults the Fences and Pursues His
 Pursuers.

ogden. Utah.-Details of an exciting buffalo chase, which occurred recently were brought to ogden the other day A resume of the record shows that part of the time the buffalo was chased and part of the time he was the chaser.
 The animal was large thick-necked bull. and the presumption is that he came from the buffalo preserve on Ante lope island. wading over through the shallow water between the island and mainland. But be that as it may. he was discovered by three men of salt com pany and they set about to capture him. Before nightfall R. l.. Taylor had learned that 1t is not so easy to corner a buffalo bull as 1t is to corner a salt saw service with the Utah batteries in many a battle with Filipinos, had learned for once in his life how to re- treat. Bert Farr. another Ogden man. had come into the knowledge of several things, among them the fact that bull buffalos can outrun the best of sprinters and can break all records at yaulting.
 Immediately on discovering the strange animal near their salt pens. the three boys set about to effect his capture His majesty could not be enticed by any persuasive arts and the boys planned to corner him in an angle of some of the fences. The buffalo had made other plans. He had no objection to being cornered. but he objected to remaining cornered. He would amble into an angie

but whom he had not seen for more than year. Everything was in readi- ness for the wedding; the guests were in the church. and the bridegroom to- be was waiting in the yestibule.
 Tell them l will be ready in a mn- ute" said Miss Gruwell. addressing her bridesmaids. Then she slipped out of the parsonage, which adjoins the church
 Dashing across the street she entered dry goods store, where Ferris is a clerk.
 T can't marry MT. Judd, she gasped, even if he is rich, and she flung her arms around Ferris neck.
 Ferris, who had long wooed the girl. who is pretty and rich i'll her own right, saw his opportunity. Putting on his hat he seized the girl. arrayed in all her bridal finery. and rushed for train. which was just pulling out
 The couple scrambled onto the last car, amid the cheering of the passengers. Rev. John NJ. Brownson. of Timberline. was on the train and he responded when preacher was called for.
 Then, with several passengers. among them two Crow Indians, d cowboy and a travelling salesman as witnesses. the i couple were married.
 It was learned half an hour later through a telegram Ferris sent to a l friend here that the flight on the train was prearranged, and that Miss Cru wells objection to Mir Judd was that he was old enough to be her father.

If the dispensary statistics are large then Git is thought the number out of work is very greet. This is not a fair inference.

Cologne, Sept. l2.-The Cologne Ga
zette, in an inspired dispatch from Ber'
lin, corrects report cabed TO one of
the Berlin newspapers from New York
asserting that President Roosevelt had
written to Baron Speck Won Sternberg,
the German Ambassador at Washing
ton, informing him that the concessions
offered TO the United States by Ger.
many were insufficient to induce the
United States government TO make a
commercial treaty with Germany, be-
cause the United States would be giving
up more than it would receive. The
paper denies that any such Letter has
been written OF that Germany has al
ready made such specific offers to the
government at Washington.
The German authorities, the dispatch
goes ON 10 saay, are working aassidu-
ously upon the preliminary prepara.
tions for treaty negotiations.
Data regarding the wishes of interest.
ed parties are being collected and CON-
missioners from several of the imperial
Prusian MINISTRIES will soon begin
work on this matter. The authorities
will then decide definitely as to what
position they will take in the forth.
coming negotiations.
In conclusion the dispatch says:
In view of the extraordinary impor.
tanee which German. American trade re.
lations have for the business of the ma.
tions living on friendly footing with
each other, one maay reckon with con.
fidenee upon success in the making of
