 The American Bison Society desires to begin at once a vigorous campaign in the interest of the noble animal which even now is on the verge of extinction, and which must surely pass unless the American people will raise their hands to save him. The society was organized in the strong be- lief that the people desired to have the buffalo preserved, and that they would give their support to a body of men able and willing to work indefarigably for it's preservation.
 The five or six million buffalo which, less than thirty-five years ago. caused the western plains to tremble beneath their hoofs, and which constituted one of the wonders of the world. have van ished, and there remain. to represent them, some six or seven hundred head. exclusive of. those in the zoological gardens, which do not count when we come to the question of the preserva- tion of the species.

THE EARTH0UAKE IN GREECE.

The details of the recent earthquake of which Mount Athos was the centre show that it was a disastrous shake. Incalculable damage has been done to the Byzantine art treasures in the va rious monasteries. The shocks, which were extremely violent, occurred in the night, and the darkness intensi- fled the panic among the monks. None of the monasterles escaped without serious injury. Tn one three chapels were completely destroyed, another chapel, the library, the bell tower, and the meeting hall were much damaged. The church of the monastery, which was considered a masterpiece of Byz- antine art, was cracked in several places, and many of the cells were rendered uninhabtable. Others suffer- ed nearly as much. In particular the chapel of St. Michael, which was fam Ous for the richness of it's decorations, is now heap of ruins. The losses to the Russian community alone are es- timated at $125,O00. At least ten of the monks were killed in their cells by rocks falling from the mountain, and it Is believed that more have perished.
 The shocks were not confined to the colony of monks. At Caryes the post office. the police station. and other public buildings were completely ruin" ed, and at Cassandra, Jerissos, Gornate, and other villages within the districts churches and many houses were destroyed, leaving the inhabitants without shelter.

Of this little remnant of the once mighty hosts, not a single animal is safe; every owner in the country Is willing and some very anxious to sell, and I doubt if there is a herd in the country which would not be sold tomorrow

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 The suggestion of "T. B." for the extension of Grove street seems to me fully as important as the other street improvements already proposed. At the western end of Grove street is Ashmun street, brick-paved thor oughfare to an important factory dis trict.

They know how to raise good tobacco

 CTS should save only the seed of plants
 which attract attention by their fine points. By covering the seed tops of such selected plants with paper bags, ito prevent fertilization from inferior plants near by, the quality of the next crop can be vastly improved. It was by such process,of selection that the excel lent varieties of other States were de- veloped from Maryland seed. By cross ing a good Maryland plant with a su- matra wrapper plant leaves are produc- ed, it was stated, that sell at $1 al

Mary land tobacco, it was stated, averages but 621 pounds to the acre, whiie in Connecticut the crop runs as high as 1,SO0 pounds to the acre and sells at a | higher price. Connecticut tobacco is not at all restricted, when in quest of buyers, to France or Belgium but is wanted everywhere. Mechanical appliances exist for separating good seeds from bad by means of a blast of air, Attention was called to these by the lecturers, whose dtscourses wero plain, practical and to the point.

SHEEP BUYER
IS MURDERED
Representative of a Packing
Company Meets With ViO-
lent Death in Kern County

BAKERSFIELD, March 30-What is
probably brutal murder was brought
to light at Delano yesterday by the
finding of the body of J. E. Dunn, a
prominent sheep buyer for the Cudaiy
Packing Company.
Dunn made his headquarters in Los
Angeles and has family residing in
that city. He made regular trips to
Kern County sheep camps and was on
one OF these trips when he met death.
Dunn arrived in Delano Monday and
spent the night at Zimmerman's ranch.
He was in Delano all day Tuesday.
Yesterday morning he was found dead
In Jean Eustaches barn. An inquest
was held and the jury rendered ver-
dict that the deceased came to his
death by gunshot wound, but did not
indicate whether 1t was a case Of muir
der or otherwise. Examination of
Dunn's body disclosed the fact that he
met death from bullet In the back
of the neck at the base Of the skull.
Another bullet entered the head.
The case is surrounded with much
mystery.
LOS ANGELES, March so.--Harry
Dunn, son of j. E. Dunn, went to
bakersfield last evening and to-day
tcicpioHed the Id1n1fy that Objects mao
secured evidence which might lead to
the arrest of one or more persons. He
secuted the theory of suicide. It de-
velops that the dead mans revolver
held one empty shell, and it is believed
he fired the shot I'm self-defense. The
fact of two bullet wounds in the top
and back Of the head seems to do
away with any suspicion of suicide.
Dunn's family, consisting of the
widow and six children, resides at 721
Macy street.
