At last the time came to begin the
match. Comstock and dashed into a
herd, followed by the referees. The
buffaloes separated. Comstock took
the left bunch and / the right. Ny
great forte in killing buffaloes from
horseback was to get them circling by
riding my horse at the head of the
herd. shooting the leaders, thus crowd
Ing their followers to the left till they
would finally circle round ana round.
On this morning the buffaloes were
very accommodating, and i soon had
them running in a beautiful circle,
when dropped them thick and fast
until l had killed thirty-eight, which
finished my run.
Comstock began shooting at the rear
Of the herd, which he was chasing,
and they kept straight on. He sue
ceeded, however, in killing twenty
three, but they were scattered over a
distance of three miles, while mine lay
close together l had nursed my buf-
faloes as a billiard player does the
balls when he makes big run.

self together. but he was just In the
humor to resent it. In consequence /
had to take the law into my own
hands and shake him up in lively style,
first taking the precaution of slipping
his revolver and placing it out of his
reach As he did not respond to my
efforts on the horse, simply dismount-
ed, pulled him from the horse and
used him in what one would think a
rather rude and rough manner. In fact,
I had to make punch bag and foot
ball out Of him, much to the astonish
ment of some of the young troopers,
who came up and were going to avenge
my apparent discourtesy to their OFF,
Ger, though some of the older men ex-
planned it's necessity. Eventually got
the lieutenant on his feet, and while
our horses were being taken care of an
old sergeant and myself hustled him
along on little foot race until we got
his blood in circulation. and so. over

rived safely at the fort.
On another occasion when out with
General Eugene A. Carr, with whom
consulted and who, by the way. was
one of the best posted and equipped
Indian fighters and froDtiersmen on
the roster of the army, we both con-
cluded that on account of the peculiar
balmy condition of the weather bliz-
zard would be the next thing in order,
So we resolved to strike camp early.

set out lot of champagne which they
had brought with them and which
proved a good drink on Kansas
prairie, and buffalo hunter was a
good man to get away with it. -
While taking short rest we sud-
denly spied another herd of buffaloes
coming toward us. 1t was only q
small drove, and we at once pre-
pared to give the animals lively re-
ception. They proved to be herd Of

them. aud l concluded my run with a
score of eighteen, while Comstock
killed fourteen. The score was now

BY BUFFALO BILL q
ROM TRUE TALES OF THE PLAINS


IL
the solitude of the plains was not
burdensome and oppressive to a
man who was travelling along
some of the vast expanses of the west,
where for hundreds of miles there was
no one to see but himself, his horses,
a boundless level of prairie grass, the
blue sky above, with it's sun by day
question seemed strange, but soon
understood how man who has lived
all his life in daily touch with Broad
way might go melancholy mad in
single day in region where he could
see and hear absolutely nothing but
the wonderful panorama of nature and
Its voices. mere was d mui,ituue
things around him to arouse interest,
which to the plainsman meant safety
or danger, life or death, but which
would mean to such man, indeed, no
more than SO many blades of grass.
This silent excitement of the solitary
ride over the broad prairie, where the
monotony, was something more excit-
ingly fierce than anything 1 had seen
in a town, and / had seen Wall street
crazed. l have watched street riots,
have witnessed royal pageants, and l
have seen men lynched. These things
stir the blood, but they all seem pale
to what have felt when out alone on
a scout.
Consequently the scout on duty was
compelled to invent ruses of his own
to assist him in emergency. And
when some extremely dangerous mis-
sion had to be undertaken the scout
often puzzled the commander by re-
fusing aid in the shape of squad or
any chosen number of soldiers to ac-
company him. But actually it was the
part of discretion to do so, as going
alone or with one or two chosen COM
rades whom you knew to be true blue
was a pre- caution that favored your
own safety, rs every scout naturally
picked the very best mounts and rode
one and had what is called lead
horse" well trained. to follow and
stand by him in every emergency. He
had only himself to look out for, and
with a coed lead horse in race for
life had Il fresh remount. Therefore
I always kept myself well provided
with we'll trained steeds, who became
wonderfully proficient in scenting dan
ger and even game The fact that
your horses were unshod was another

The Seat on the Horse.

Why does a man seaAd near the
neck of horse travel faster than one
seated near his tail? For it has been
proved in very striking fashion that
he does. But whyi The reason is
really very simple, and yet when little
Tod Sloane, the jockey. came forward
with practical proof nobody seemed to
be able to explain 1t. A horse to move
forward at all must thrust at the earth.
and the chief force of this forward
thrust comes from his hind legs. II

concealed until they had settled down.
