some doing the cooking, others tend

Twenty-Five to fifty men are in the
colony.
No drink can be obtained within ten

both physically and spiritually. Re

Previous to the three weeks at Kes-

CHILDREN'S
LONG TRAMP

The sympathies of our policemen and
a few Others were stirred yesterday by
an odd escapade on the part OF three
children. who ran away from their
home in Northumberland
The children left their home about
six o. clock Monday evening, ana ar
rived in Danville about s o clock yes
terday morning, having walked the
entire distance. The little runaways
consisted of girl and two boys, the
children of Gabriel Wenrich of North.

respectively, II and IL,
j. p. Dunham, a constable of North
cumberland, arrived in this city on the
2 IL d. L. e. W train yesterday after
noon and began to look around for the
children. Officer Voris rendered the
constable all the assistance he could
and the children were finally located
on Mill street. On the 4 :33 D. L. &
W. train they accompanied the const-
able back to Northumberland
The little girl was bareheaded, but
wore a pair of tan shoes The two
boys were barefooted and one had a
sore foot, rs the result of the long
tramp.
According to their story the chill
dren went to Sunbury after leaving
Northumberland and then struck out
for Danville alorg the river road.
They had not gone far before twilight
faded into darkness; still they groped
their way along the lonely country
roads keeping up their spirits as best
they could.
About ten o. clock without knowing
where they were they stopped at a
farm house-told their story and were
kindly taken in for the night Bright
and early yesterday morning they re.
sumed their way. They then learned
that they were only a couple of miles
from Danville and easily covered the
rest of the distance.
The children, of course, tried to
Justify themselves for running away.
1t is not necessary to repeat their story,
which may or may not be consistent
with facts. Their father has been
three times married, the mother of the
runaway children being the first wife,
who died when they were small.
The girl explained TO Officer Voris
yesterday that she called her brothers
to her on Monday and told them that
she intended to leave. They at once
resolved that if she left they would 20

Arriving in Danviile yesterday the
children went to the post office where
they found ont the address Of woman

mans home, on Mill street, where
during the afternoon the children were
found by the officers.

LONG BUFFALO DRIVE.
Large Herd Fer Canada to Be Driven
Over Eiqhty Miles.

The buffalo herd which is corralled
near Lamont, in Canada. has wintered
well. and since the roundup commenced
in Montana last year less than IL per
cent have been lost.
Arrangements are being made to
bring up another 800 head Michael
Pablo is getting them together on his
ranch in Montana. Pablo has built a
fence twenty-three miles long. from
the mountains to his home and the
buEaloes are driven along the fence into
the corral. Last year he had 1S5 horses
and G3 meu on the range for three
weeks, but he found this too expensive
and has adopted the new plan for get
ting the remainder of the herd
The 400 head brought to Canada last
year We're shipped by freight trains,
but several We're killed in loading and
unloading, and the feeding and water
ing were accomplished under difficult
ties. This year an attempt will be
made to drive the herd up from Mon
tana TO Lamont distance of more
than eighty miles, says a Lamont cor
respondent of the New York Post. I'm
aglne an eighty mile drive of 400 wild
bufTaloes across land. Ii will be one
OF the greatest undertakings in the
history of cowpunching
These buffaloes have been fed on hay
all winter, about seven tons being used
daily, but the mild winter made it pos
sible for them TO forage for themselves.
Those in the preserve at Lamont are
in the best of condition, and at least q
hundred calves are expected during the
next few weeks. The government is
now calling for tenders for Il wire
fence around the preserve which will
be more than seventy miles long and
will cost approximately $4,000
The preserve is So arranged that for
eight miles the railroad runs along one
side of the park, giving passengers a
chance to see the herd, thus adding
another attraction TO western Canada.
This is now said to be the largest herd
of buffaloes in the world. With the ar
rival of the other herd it will be dou-
bled, and before the end of the year
the herd will number close to a thou
sand, with probable net increase OF
full % per cent annually.
