Too much car cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard again
st bowel troubles. AS a rule it is on
1y necessary to give the child a dose
of castor oil to correct any disorder
of the bowels. Do not use any substi-
tute but use the old fashioned castor
oil, and see that it is fresh, as rancid
oil n%auseates and has a tendency to
grippe. If it does not check the bowels
give Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and then a dose
OF castor oil, and the disease may be
checked in its incipiency and all dan
ger avoided. The castor oil and this

Thousands of plains Cattle.

Settlers cociety Today, Killed
Thousands of Plains Cattle.
4J.v. Causey. who lives forty miles
east of Roswell, was IN the city today
preparing to bring his family mere
the last of August. His wife and four
children will live here during the
| winter that the children may attend
school and he will live on his ranch,
caring for his cattle. While in the
city Mr.. Causey Joined the Old Set
tiers Society, having the sole re-
quisite of membership in that organ
zation-at least tweney years resi-
dence in the valley.
Mr.. Causey came here in 1877, hav-
ing come from Indian Territory and
being a native of Illinois. He lived
in this section of the country during
the buffalo, Indian cowboy days
and tells interesting stories of how
the path to civilization was blazed.
In accounting for the destruction of
the wild buffalo, Mr.. Causey gave a
Record reporter an interesting ac-
count OF the. manner in which he and
lao pelts during the first years OF
their residence here. He said that the
first winter they were here they kill
ed and skinned 1900 buffalo. These
hides were hauled with OK teams 500
miles to Tor Griffin, as there was
not a single settlement between mis-
home and that place at that time.
At Fort Griffin they sold the skins
at from 25 cents to $1.25 apiece, &C
cording to the age and condition of
the animal.
Their manner of hunting buffalo
was for two to ride as close to a herd
as possible. Then one of them dis
mounted, and turning his horse over
to the other, walked to within gun
shot of the bunch and started firing.
At the first shot two, three or a half
dozen would start to run. These were
the widest animals in the herd, us
ually COWS, and often cows with
calves, and unless these wild cows
were killed Immediately the nerd
would be stampeded and soon be cut
of reach. When the wild ones were
dispatched, a great portion of the
herd was hen safe. The others would
bunch around the fallen sisters, and
the hunter could drop them as fast
as he could load his gun. The most
Mr.. Causey ever killed in one nerd
was 120.
The buffalo were usually found in
herds of from a hundred to five nun
dred, but sometimes they would be
massed in a body covering the plain
as far as the y could see. At such
times the whole earth would appear
as a moving, animate sea of brown
skinned flesh.
In those days, although the hun-
ter killed buffalo mostly for the hides.
they sailed down as many of the
hind quarters of the most tender,
juicy COWS, as they could take care
OF. The horns, now worth SIS a pair,
were left to rot on the plains, along
with the rest Of the carcass.
Mr.. Causey and his brother hunted
buffalo many winters after TT, but
with less success than during the first
few months after they came, when
they slaughtered 1900.
Mr.. Causey could tell many other
stories of early times here, but ne
leaves the next chapter to the next
old settler who comes down the trail.
