And Jim. after an animated conversation
in Spanish, explained that the four Indians
intended to kill all of the buffalo. This was
no pleasure hunt; it was business, and
meant meat for the tribe for the winter.
So the Indian men rode forth, leaving the
women and their fifty or sixty horses, des-
tined to carry the game away, in camp, and
Jack and his friend followed. armed of
course, not to take part in the chase, but
to act as spectators.
The wait was not a long one. Owing to
the rough nature of the approaches, the
Indians were close to the buffalo before the
animals discovered them, and with wild
yell the four Utes dashed down upon the
bluff, over which Costar and his FRIEND
having dsmounted, were hanging, interested
spectators of one of the widest sights they
had ever witnessed.
With repeated screams and howls, the in
tent of which was to confuse the already
frightened animals, the Indians rode right in
among them, and began a fusillade of arrows
that sent their prey rapidly to earth.
The riders would dash through the herd,
discharging arrows with almost inconceiv-
outskirts of the packed mass of bison, driv.
ing in the stragglers and often killing one of
them with a single arrow.
The frightened creature crowded in a
hairy, struggling mass against the base Il
the bluff, surged back and forth. but never
made concerted effort to escape.
They seemed utterly helpless under the
rain of missiles showered ON them, and en-
tirely confused by the hurrying hunters on
horseback, who flew hither and thither 30
swiftly that their number seemed multiplied
fourfold the horses acting their part just as
well as the men, and answering to the pres
sure of the riders legs or wave of hands
better than if bridsed and bitted.
It was savage cunning against brute
strength, bafhed and beaten by it's own con.
fusion, and the result was inevitable. Before
many minutes the forty bison lay stretched
on the ground. dead or mortally wounded,
while slightly gored horse and an Indian
with bruised hip made up the casualties
on the other side.
And the slaughter over the Indians rode
back to camp to smoke and sleep, while the
squaws skinned, cut up and packed the forty
carcasses
By night the Indians and their spoil nad
disappeared, and towards dusk the .frien Is
were again leaning over the chess-board.
"Jack," said the tenderfoot, "do you think
that California Jim, you and / could kill
forty out of herd of buffalo, with the
best weapons the world affords?"
@No," replied, Jack, meditatively. II don't
believe we could.
And l don't believe so either.

sign of treachery I'll put a bullet so square
ly through his head as to stop any such in
tentions on his part"
And Jack threw his Sharp's rifle, which he
had secured. in the hollow of his left arm,
qnd stepped from behind the house, that the
interlopers might see that he was prepared
for them,
Indian and assuming a courage he, was far
" waited wa fort for the e.! young % ciiefs G approach.
For chief in prospective of the Utes he
proved to be, and his "pape' . was, as Cos.
tar had predicted, pass from the agent of
that tribe.
The Indians were friendly. it seemed and
were out for buffalo. The water at the
ranch was the nearest within twenty miles,
and the Indians asked and obtained permis-
sion to camp by one of the water holes for
the night.
There were only ten in the party-four
bucks and six squaws-and they were as
picturesque looking set of paupers as ever
disgraced civilization.
Among them was old George Washing
ton" one of the chiefs Of the Utes, hero Of
a hundred fights, ambushes and massacres,
and with him was his mother, who must have
been over a hundred years old.
They begged for supper, which was given
them, the interval Of waiting being occupied
by ancient Mrs. Washington in sharpening
her knife with file she borrowed.
Soon after eating, they were turned out of
doors, and sought their camp, hundred
yards off, George carrying away, among 9TH
er things, seven pint cups of coffee that
he had drank as an accompaniment to his
evenings rejection.
The night passed away without incident,
and at early daylight Indians and whites
were astir, the young chief gorgeous in fresh
ly-washed and painted face, the red and
blue lines being most artistically drawn, and
wearing brand-new blanket.
Before long, the four men were preparing
for the hunt. as word was brought that a
herd of about forty bison, or buffalo, as they
are commonly called, were grazing mile or
SO away.
They divested themselves of everything they
wore, and then slung quiverful Of unbarbed
arrows over their shoulders, their ponies be-
ing without saddle OF bride, thong of raw
hide, knotted about the neck, being all that
was evidently thought necessary.
The white men offered their assistance,
with that of their modern arms and ammu-
milton, but their overtures were disrespect-
fully declined, the Indians knowing what
they were about. as was proved by the Sc
quel.
"Gun talk too loud; arrow he no speak, y
was the way George put it.

SO. when Jim gave the warning, both Jack
and his friend did nothing in the way of

unshuttered and uncurtained-as one man,

hooks over their heads.

Where are they, Jim?" asked Jack, tax

Coming over the hill to the s'uth' ard,
sir, replied Jim, who had been something of
sailor in his day.
"You and California take that end of the
ranch; We'll take care of this" said Jack.
And stepping out of the door on the north
side of the house, the two friends hastened
to the. west end of the building and peered
around.
1t was on the south side of the basin that
the road that led from the ranch to Hugo
had. been cut in the bluff, and along this
road it was that the band of Indians had
come.
They had stopped on the top of the bluff,
one of their number riding forward to par
ley. Their strength could not be estimated.
Forty or fifty horses, at least, were in sight,
and how many more there. might be out on
the plain was matter of uncertainty.
What they might want could only be
learned by waiting, so Jack and his friend
remained quiescent and bided results. while
Jim and California whispered loudly together
over the prospects for "scrimmage.S
Soon the rider came within easy hailine
distance, and Costar shouted to him in a
loud voice:
"Puck-a-ehee! puck-a-chee!"

the visitor, wondering at the knowledge of
strange tongues displayed by his friend.

Whatever the language, the Indian evi-

horse, dismounted, unstrapped the blanket
that served. for. a. saddle, spread it on the
and long knife he drew from his melt, he
apparently having no firearms with him.
Having disarmed himself, he drew some
thing white from his bosom, and holding it
up, cried:
"Pape'l pape'l"
"Is that Sioux. also. Jack?" asked Cos

''No; he means that he has a paper there.

Whether it was three, four, six, eight or

could braid any number with equal facility
the more the better.
There were only two rooms in the ranch,
besides the loft, where the men slept, the
kitchen, where California and Jim were at
work, and an adjoining room, which was the
"sanctum" of the owner of the range.
In TINS latter room were two cot beds, a
table and few chairs; such luxuries as
chest OF drawers and wash-stand were want
ing
At the table. which was drawn up against

any one else.
The building was frame structure of the

listing laws and customs as to grazing
live stock on the public domain out
side of forest reserves"
The resolutions say that experience
has demonstrated the wisdom of the
policy of treating the lands of the ma
ton as a public trust to be disposed
of in all cases and wherever possible
to actual settlers. The people of the
west are unalterably opposed to any
change in this wholesome and bene-
fetal policy. Forest reserves should
only be created where they do not
infringe on this policy.
In all cases the rights Of the states
and the people of the states to the free
and unhampered use of all waters
within forest reservations should be
not only permitted but encouraged, the
resolutions say, and no charge should
be imposed thereon. The necessity Of
forest reservations is recognized and
reasonable regulations by the govern
ment commended.
The resolutions, however, favor the
prompt elimination from forest reser-
vations of all lands not timbered or
suitable for reforestation or reasonably
necessary To CCHiSSINe Liz INV -

pecially urged that the reports OF spec
ial and secret service agents of the
land department and of the department
of agriculture shall be made under
OATH A modification of any existing
orders which prevent bona fide filings
on any of the public load lands is de-
manded. The national irrigation law is
heartily Endorsed.
It is asked that congress legislate
appropriately, with respect to school
lands in reservations so that each state
deprived of these lands may receive
its full quota of lands, or it's equiva-
lent, for the purpose for which they
were intended.
It is finally demanded that in states
wherein forest reserves are situated
and not desired and are excessive the
reservation should be reduced to reas-
enable limits whether the land restored
contains timber or not.
