HUNTED BUFFALO
in BOWMAN COUNTY
Joe. G. MEYER. WHO CANE TO
DAKOTA IN THE SEVENTIES,
TELLS ABOUT THE EARLY DAYS
I'M BOWMAN COUNTY WHEN
INDIANS LIVED HERE.

Bowman Pioneer: We had the
pleasure this week OF meeting a man
who was In Bowman county. or at
least where Bowman county in now,
long before any one ever thought VI
II as anything but the great American
desert. This was Joseph G. Meyer.
who has a ranch on the Little Mis-
souri, In Billings county, about forty
miles northwest Of Bowman. He sold
1--WE carloads of cattle to dealer and
delivered them at Grimm for shipment.
Mr.. Meyer then o@zne down TO Bowman
and The Pioneer man accidentally ran
on to him.
Mr.. Meyer was born In Illinois I'm
1856 and at an early age got the west
ern fever and hit the trail Tor the land
Of the setting sun, going TO Denver,
Col, and farther west. While he never
was an enlisted soldier, he saw much
Of the soldiers life in the west, being
employed in the then hazardous occn-
patton of carrying dispatches through
a country infested by Indians. He
got taste of buffalo hunting, and
followed II until 1882 when the mon
arch Of the western plains was prac-
tically extinct. For a time his hunting
ground was i'm this territory and from
this old land mark the Twin Buttes,
this old timer can positively state
that he killed buffalo on what are now
the streets Of Bowman. He says that
he believes that he could today flnd
the old dug-out about four miles
southwest OF Bowman where bis party
made headquarters for a winter.
II was hard work to ride ell day
long on the buffalo hunt, and II was
still harder to transport the hides to
some point on the Missouri or Yellow
stone rivers for shipment. but there
was something about IL, that had
for every man who ever
engaged In IL.
His party shipped out as high AZ
1000 hides In a season, and the last
season, that of 1882, they worked
harder than ever, covered more terri
tory in search of game and shipped
out but 1900 hides.
Mr.. Meyers remembers the Indians
ell right and carries the scars of four
bullet wounds presented by the red
skins. The nearest they came to get
ting him was when he was shot
through a lung.
For some years BTr Meyer has been
ranching in Billings county, and says
he guesses he is some rancher and
some farmer. He has never had any
trouble In growing crops. but says that
occasionally we will have a dry year
like the present one.
The open range is no more, but
Mr.. Meyer has no kick coming on
the "honyocIxs" and believes they will
all succeed by using proper methods

TEXAS STAYS
IN WET ZONE

Houston, Tex, July 25.-Chair-
man Ball of the statewide prohibit
tion committee today conceded the
anti-prohibitionists majority not
exceeding 5000 on the face Of the
present returns from Saturdays
election. He claims frauds have been
practiced and he will resort to the
courts.
The morning papers express the
general opinion that the anti-prohi-
bitionists have won, but 1t is con-
ceded that the election is very close
and that there ia at least possibil-
ity late returns may swing the cleo
tion to the prohibitionists.
The total unreported vote prob
ably will not exceed $4,000. 1t being
indicated that the total vote polled
was about 475.OOO. which. with one
exception. is the largest ever polled
in Texas.
The amendment voted on Satnr-
day says the legislature shall con-
vene in special session and enact an

is now conceded by the most
conservative that the crop outlook
in Weld county, so far as beets and
potatoes are concerned, was never
better at this season of year, and
that the grain crop, taking into con-
sideration all kinds, will show
normal yield Alfalfa will show
such good second and third, and in
some districts fourth cuttings that
the crop output from Weld county
this year, barring hail, will bring
the growers $7,0o0,0O0.
This estimate is made on the
basis that the $4,000 acres OF pota-
toes planted in Weld county will be
an average yield of about S5 sacks
an acre and sell on the market for
81 per hundred weight. Some De
clare that the potato crop will easily
give an average yield OF 100 SACKS
to the acre, and that possible loss
to the crop by potato bugs in some
districts cannot cut down the crop
below the $3,000,000 mark is the
general opinion.
Eastern buyers and several local
ones continue to solicit the potato
crop dl d Sdth lioAAi eiS hANA>A'
but so far as can be learned none
of the growers have taken up such
contracts, preferring to take the
chances on even better prices.
The frequent showers and cool
nights have given ideal weather for
the potato crop, and already in the
fields farthest advanced, potatoes
have begun to set on the vines.
With six weeks more of such kind
Of weather and with frost by the
middle of September to ripped the

While the beet crop is spotted in
some localities, 1t is in the main
showing well and the $4,000 acres
in the district indicate crop valued
at 100000.
Grain fields are fast ripening and
much OF the fall wheat has been
