The rescue Of the buffalo from the
slaughterers is one of the most inter-

the last century there were as many as
100000 Of these great. unwicldy
creatures on the North American con
tinent. Early travellers tell of herds
that were days in Passing, that halted
steamboats, on the upper Missouri and
stopped wagon and railway trains on
the western plains. The number killed
by the Indians III their hunts was not
equal 10 the natural increase OF the
herds.
The slaughter began when The rail
roads crossed the prairies aud opened
up uncxplored tracts TO the hide hunt
ers. Thousands were killed merely for
slice OF their hump or tongue. For
years hunters sold an average of 1000
coo hides annually. In 1889 the num-
