hunters hands quite free for the use or
his bow and arrow. Singing out the bur-
falo he wanted. he would ride up on the
right-hand side of the fast-moving animal
and as he came opposite the shoulder he
would drive an arrow to the heart, the
lungs. or some other vital spot.
This was but one OF many methods
adopted by the Indians for killing the buff
faloes they needed for food and clothing.
They were well aware that buffaloes would
not run from gray wolf but would stand
and face him, and they used this fact to
their own advantage. An Indian covering
his body with the skin of a wolf would APP
proach band of buffaloes on his hands
and knees. and while the unsuspecting ana
mails faced him would shoot them down
one by one with bow and arrow. Then.
during their migrations. the buffaloes would
sometimes be overtaken by heavy snow
storms. and while they fioundered about in
the great drifts the Indians would approach
on snow shoes and spear them to death.
Various Methods of Hunting.
The Indians knew also that buffaloes had
a deadly fear Of flame and smoke, and in
hunting the animals they made use of fire
in several different ways. One method
consisted of firing the prairie all around a
herd. The animals, seeking to avoid the
flames were driven into a smaller and
smaller space. until they were so crowded
and pamcstricken that their wholesale
slaughter was an easy matter. Another
method consisted Of burning all the grass
on one side of river before the Ice broke
UP in the spring SO that the buffalo would
be tempted to cross the river in search OF
the new grass which always sprung up I'M
mediately after the fire. Under their great
weight the treacherous ice would break up,
and they would find themselves moving
down stream on huge cakes Of floating ice.
Then the Indians wound nimbly SKIP from
one cake to another until they reached tnelr
prey, which being In too insecure position
to resist an attack would be promptly
killed The hunters would then paddle the
ice raft to the shore and secure their prize.
But the Indians used other methods OF
huntine the buffalo In early times. mucn
more deadly than any Of these. and by
which they killed entire herds IN ve.y

spears. Downing big masks, made from the
heads of buffaloes with the horns on some
fifteen or twenty would begin to dance In
circle, fourishing their weapons and call
ing on the Great Spirit to hear their prayers
and quickly send the buffaloes. Thus they
would dance until some of them became
so exhausted that they fell to the ground,
whereupon they were dragged out of the
circle by the heels, and their places filled
by fresh warriors who had been waiting
their turn. Thus they continued to dance
whether 1t was q matter of hours, days or
weeks. In the meantime they had watch
ers stationed upon the hilitops, and when
the approaching herds were seen in the
distance these watchers gave the signal
by waving q rope The moment this signal
was seen by those In the Village prepare
lions were made for the hunt. Those braves
who were not too exhausted mounted their
feet little ponies, and, armed with bows
and arrows, rode of In search Of the game.

Without a knowledge Of the buffalo 1t
Is quite impossible to understand the life
of many of the Indian tribes A hundred
years ago there were hundreds OF thou
sands of Indians whose every ~want was
supplied by the buffalo. They used his
flesh for food, they sometimes used It fresh,
and at other times dried. The hide they
used as a covering for their tepees; the
skin with fur on for robes and blankets;
the sinews were used for bow-strings and
for thongs to tie thiigs with; the long hair
OF the shoulders and forelegs was twisted
into ropes and lariats; from the bones
spoons and other implements were made
the shoulder blade being used as rude
hoe; the tail even was used as a brush
Naturally, when people were so dependent
upon an animal for necessities OF life its
presence or absence WAS matter of great
consequence to them. Usually. in the old
days. buffaloes were to be had at almost
any time by the tribes dependent on them
for food, but when the herds stayed away
for an unusual length of time the Indians
suffered. When there was danger of such
suffering It was the custom in some OF the
tribes to hold what was called buffalo

DEsPAIRs OF FINDING BOY
Mrs. Britain Is Inclined to Censure
Mr.. Draper.

Tie case of Cecil Britain Is again
brought to notice by the issuing of u
circular containing picture of the
child and offering O reward Of $1,000
for the return of the child alive or
$50 for the recovery Of its body.
Mrs. Britain has about given up
all hopes of again seeing her boy alive.
BY her talk she has practically
abandoned the theory that the child
has been kidnapped, though in relating
the circumstances at Tollgate she
would occasionally wander back to
that conclusion. She fears that he
wandered away, became exhausted
and dropped ont of sight in the dense
underground on the mountain, in a
place which escaped the eyes Of the
searchers. She regrets, too, that the
search was not prosecuted In the di-
rection opposite from Tollgate from
where the main search was made.
She referred to the fact that no effort
was made to place the dogs on the
trail of the man whose track was
found beside that Of the child, and
said that Mr.. Britain was anxious to
put Harry Draper g dogs on the trail
of the man on their first arrival there,
but Mr.. Draper refused, saying he
came to trail the child. She thinks at
that time the man who was thought
tohave taken the child could have
been soon captured. But with the
child it was not such an easy matter,
as ii was frequently lifted and carried,
at which points the dogs would lose
the scent.
In their anxiety to improve every
opportunity that might furnish a pos
sible clue OF the whereabouts of their
child, Mr.. and Mrs. Britain have
given number of sDcalled clair
yoyants and mediums chance to ex-
ercise their powers in trying to locate
the lost child, but thus far nothing
satisfactory has been obtained from
that source.
