80 NE Of my favortc buffalo hunt,
"a Ing horses was a small roam
w. Oh large Indian pony which |
got from Ute Indian. AS
this horse came from Utah, | named
him Brigham, after the prophet. Dur
ing the construction of the Kansas Pa
Cilic railroad, now the Union Pacific, In
1867 the construction of the end of the
track got into the great buffalo cOun-
try, and at that time the IndinnS-thc
Sioux, ChcyCnncS, ComanchCS and Arap-
Nhoes were all on the warpath. 1t
was before the refrigerator car was in
use, and the contractors had no fresh
meat to feed their employees. The
men were grumbling considerably for
fresh meat, for they could see fresh
mcat-that is the buffalo, deer and an
telope-in every direction, and they
would growl because the contractors
did not kill the buffaocs 50 that they
could have fresh meat to eat This
was little more difficult job than
they thought, as the Indians were con
testing every mile of railroad that was
being built into their country. BESIDES
having military escorts to guard the
graders, every man from the boss
down who went to work on the grad
ing of the road carried a rifle with him
as well as a pick and shovel, and when
he was using them his gun lay on the
ground near him, as the Indians would
daily attack them.
The construction Of that road in
1867 was nearly a continuous fight,
and 1t was dangerous for Il man to
venture any distance away from the
troops and the graders to hunt the
buffalo. They tried several hunters
who claimed that they could kill buff
falo and bring it into camp so that
they could have fresh meat for their
men. One or two of these men were
killed by Indians while doing so, and
the others gave up the job.
At that time | was guide and scout
at Fort Hays, Kan, and had quite
reputation as buffalo hunter. Some
one told the main contractor that if he
could get me | would he able to kill all
the buffaloes he would require. lie

course | could not accept, although he
made me very tempting financial
offer, without permission of the mill
tary department commander, General
Sheridan.
The subject was even discussed at
headquarters in Washington, and after
considerable delay evidence was pre-
scented that 1t would solve one of the
main labor problems in the great work
of constructing the great transcont-
mental railroad and facilitate matters
greatly. Leave Of absence for the
purpose was given me with the I'M
Outstanding that in case Of an impOr-
tant outbreak | should resume the du-
ties of my position AS rowing In
dams generally followed the herds Of
buffaloes, | was really in certain

| started in killing buitaloes for the

There is still one man in Paris who
ran boast of having had his ears pull
ed and his checks pinchcd as a boy by
Napoleon l., and that is Jean Pierre
SchameI, an inmate OF a poorhouse ut
Ivry. He is now nearly 1O2 years Of
age, and his father held the post Of
concierge of the chateau of Versailles
during the reign of Napoleon. Jean
Pierre Schamel remembers often see
mg the emperor in the park. Jean
Pierre had fancy for climbing trees,
md one day the emperor caught him
md gently pulled his ears. Whenever
Napoleon saw him in the gardens
Afterward he used to pinch his cheek
and ask him if he had climbed any
trees that day.-London Telegraph

set out lot of champagne which they
had brought with them and which
proved a good drink on Kansas
prairie, and Il buffalo hunter was Il
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 a
small drove, and we at once pre-
pared to give the animals lively re-
cCptiOn. They proved to be herd of
cows and calves, which, by the way,
are quicker in their movements than
the bulls We charged in among
them, and | concluded my run with a
score Of eighteen, while COmStOck
killed fourteen. The score was now
fifty-siX to thirty-seven in my favor.
Again the excursion party approach
ed, and once more the champagne was
tapped. After we had eaten a lunch
which was spread for us we resumed
the hunt. Striking out for II distance
Of three miles, we came up close to
another herd. AS | was 50 far ahead
Of my competitor in the number killed,
| thought l could afford to give an OK
ira exhibition of my skill. | had told
the ladies that | would on the next run
ride my horse without any saddle or
bride. This had raised the excite
ment to fever heat among the cXcur-
siOniStS, and | remember one fair lady
who endeavored to prevail upon me
not to do it.
That's nothing at ALL" said |. Il
have done 1t many time, and Old
Brigham knows as well as | what ] am
doing and sometimes great deal bet
ter"
SO leaving my saddle and bride with
the wagons we rode to the WiudWard
of the buffalOes, as usual, and when
within a few hundred yards of them
we dashed into the herd | soon had
thirteen laid out on the ground. the
last one of which | had driven down
close to the wagons, where the ladies
were. 1t frightened some of the tender
creatures to see buffalo coming
at full speed directly toward them,
but when he had got within fifty yards
of one of the wagons | had shot him
dead in his tracks. This made my
siXty-nlnth buffalo and finished my
third and last run, Comstock having
killed forty-siX.
AS it was now late in the afternoon,
Comstock and his hackers gave up the
idea that he could beat me, and there
upon the referees declared me the win
ner of the match as we'll as the cham
pion buffalo hunter of the plains.
