DIVORCE BREAKS
HEART; HE DIES

SAN FRANCISCO, July 21.-
"Died of a broken heart" is the
verdict here today of friends of
L. A. Mcintosh, one of the richest
men of Northern California, who
died in a hospital here last night
of what the physicians declared
was pneumonia. Mcintosh, his
friends say, practically grieved to
death as the result of having been
divorced from his wife. He was
resident of Chico, Cal, and had
risen from a poor boy to the own
ership of fabulously rich mines,
his income from which was close
to 500, 900 a month.

5000, 900 IN 1870

Although the numbers of the buffalo
on the plains of the west had been
! greatly reduced by persistent and ruth
less killing, there were still at least
1000 900 of them alive In lS70-these
| being divided, roughly speaking, into
| two immense herds About that time,
however, the repeating or magazine
rifle made It's appearance, and the
death knell of the American bison was
! sounded. War was declared against the
poor buffalo, and campaign for the
| determination of the species was sys'
tematically undertaken.
Up to that time some sort of fair
! ness characterized the methods adopted
in hunting the buffalo, which at least
had some chance for its life. But now
all idea of ''sport - was abandoned for
the mere lust of Staying. Men boasted
that they killed hundreds of buffalo
in single day. and, cutting out their
tongues, left the beasts to rot, Tongues
thus obtained were shipped in great
quantities 80 market, in barrels, and
were worth % cents apiece.
A favorite plan Of the ''sneak hun
ter'' was to take up his position IN
some place OF copcealment-as, for ex.
ample, on the edge of a bluff beneath
which buffalo were browsing-and pot
shoot the animals at leisure, knocking
them over with his rife one after an

principal rivers, camps were estab-

the buffalo were driven away from

thirst to approach during the day,

XII MH1,o,, in Year

Thus it was that thousands of square
miles of the buffalo country. in Kan
sas, Colorado and Nebraska, were GOV
cred with the dccaying carcasses of
buffalo, a large proportion of them
left to rot with the skins still on, In
the year 1873 one railroad shipped to
the east 25l ,l43 buffalo skins, l,6l7 500
pounds of meat, and 2.743. 100 pounds
of bones. But this enormous output
represented only a small fraction of
the total destruction of animals, Dur
ing four years the buffalo were slnugh-
tered at an average rate of about
100000 per annum, and by 1874 the
great southern herd was practically
wiped out.
1t was not until 1850 that similar
methods of systematic slaughter were
directed against the great northern
herd, But in the meantime buffalo
skins had risen considerably in price.
and the war was planned on more
scientific lines, with less waste though
equally merciless. Thousands of white
and Indian hunters literally surround
ed the herd ON all sides, armed with
breech loading rifles, and proceeded TO
destroy it. In less than three years it
had ceased to exist as q herd, ONLY a
few scattered punches remaining alive.

Food u, Winter

The problem OF keeping the buffalo,
elk and antelope alive is to supply
them with food in winter. In the ma
tloual forests around the Yellowstone
park the amount of grazing allowed
has had to he limited in order that
the antelope and elk might survive. At
the present time there are not more
;han 1000 antelope remaining in this
country, according TO the estimate of
The biological survey. They are al
most as near TO extinction as the buff
falo, and. unless they are TO vanish
entirely and forever, means must be
promptly taken for the preservation of
he species. Recently eight antelope
we're shipped from the Yellowstone
ark to the Wichita game refuge in
Oklahoma. and liberated in the buf.

cut that the antelope and the bison can
