Of years ago, which will be shipped to

Word has been received from the
reservation, where the buffalo are
ranged, that the recent bad weather
had interfered with the work Of round
ing up the animals and that little pro
gress was made before the storm com
menced. There is trouble enough run

running until a horse is worn out with
