THE BUFFALO.
DR.. Edwin w. Gould of Rockland, Me-,
Owns a Perfect Specimen Head.
-, p.,+on Herald7
From the Boston HERALD


Ono If the most magnificent buffalo
heads in existence today Is owned by
DR.. Edwin w. Gould OF Rockiand, Me-,
shot and mounted by himself during a
big game hunting trip on 1ne plalns In
the early seventies.
Making headquarters at hugo, Col,
sas Pacific railroad, lou miles east from
Denver, the doctor starteo alone on
horseback one morning in December in
quest of game. riding northwest up to
and over the divide, an elevation of
land running parallel with the old star
walton trail. Crossing the divide he
soon discovered herd OF buffalo num-
boring about 500, at rest. They were
living down on level stretch of plain,
the members of the herd placed in such
a manner that some of them would
command view of all points of the
compass in order to give warning of ap-
preaching danger.
Riding in the bed of dry creek as
far it was possible to do without being
exposed to the herd he picketed the
cayuse, Then proceeding on foot until
no longer feasible he resorted to what
is termed in the West "bellywhacking,"
i. e., living prone and pushing oneself
along bv the toes. When the herd
scented danger they began slowlys to
arise and stretch preparatory to moving
away, which they soon did; as usual the
leader or King of the herd taking the
initiative, the herd following. The
doctor rested his carbine on prairie dog
mound and brought down his quarry
with one shot. The herd gathered around
their fallen leader where they remained
until several were shot before making
off.
This king of the herd was what is
termed in western parlance spike"
or four year-old bull, 4 most perfect
specimen. The hair on the skin was
very fine and mouse color, while the
horns were polished, no DOUBT. by his
battles for supremacy of the herd. The
mass of hair on the skull was over a
foot in length of a perfect color, which
has never faded or changed, In mount
ing the skin was not dissected from,
around the base of the horns but turned
over them while the skull was scraped
and cleaned, after which the preserva-
tive was applied and the skull in its en-
tirety replaced and finished so that the
teeth in the lower jaw can be seen.
This trophy of the hunt is in a class
by itself as it is very doubtful if another
like it exists today The rarity of such
a specimen is evidenced by the fact that
a buffalo head that was sent recently for
exhibition at the Land Show at St.
Paul, Mimi, was insured against loss
during transit and at the exhibition for
$4,000

Baby Saved from Muskrats.

While walking in Eighty-sixth
street, in the n~eighborhood of Beach
lane, Brooklyn, Edward II. Lockett
was attracted by the cries of an in
FAINT coming from the brush along
side the road. Lockett investigated
and found a six weeks old boy baby
lying in the bushes, dressed in a fan
mel %petticoat, a white dress, white
corded coat and wrapped up in a black
skirt. Lockett picked the baby up
and started for the Coney Island
police station. but he met Mounted
Officer Major on the way and turned
the youngster over to him.
Major tool the baby to the station
house, where the matron, Mrs. Mary
Duffy, fed it and put it to sleep. Later
the child was taken to the Coney
Island Hospital. where i. was doing
nicely this morning.
The police say that the place where
the infant was found is infested with
muskrats, and had the baby lain there
much longer it would probably have
been killed by the rodents. Four de-
teetives were put on the case in an
endeavor to ascertain who left the
child in such a lonely place.
