FINDS BIG BUFFALO HERD.
Canadian Indian Agent Would Build
1c3-Mile Fence to Guard Them.

EDMONTON, September pa herd of
800 wood buffalo has been discovered in
the northeastern part of Alberta, Canada,
by A. J. Bell, who has recently returned
to Edmonton from that district.
Mr.. Bell. who has charge Of the
northern Indian agencies. has proposed
to the Dominion government that It
protect these rare animals by building
a fence on the peninsula between the
Peace and Great Slave rivers. This
fence, he figures, would be 1903 miles
long and would cost more than S1O0O
Speaking of the herd, he says: The
buffalo have every mark of resemblance
to the bison of the plains. but constant
living in the heavy timbered country
has made them much wilder. Now they
are almost unapproachable. AS these
amin ais are protected, no killing being
permitted. there should be large in
crease In their numbers"

had returned as she could not bear to

NJ. Hadi said that he married his wife
in Persia. They were afterward divorced
by Persian procedure. He would much
rather have found his stamp collection
again than his wife, he said, but since
she said she had concealed the stamps
he would give her the children and $1,000
ii she would produce the missing collec-
ton.
This arrangement was quickly accepted
by Nine. Hadi and duly registered by a
