BUFFALO HERD IN DANGER
pawnee Bills Appeal to Government
Authorities for Protection of
Species Against Killers.

Another of Pawnee Bills bufa1oes
has been shot and killed. This time
it was a 4-ycar-old heller, as fine a
specimen as is in the herd. Last year
it was his prize bull that was shot. 1t
was found just at dark and was still
warm, which led to the belief that it
had been done by the Indians or by
some white man, intending to come
and get it under cover OF darkness,
and trade il to the Indians. 1t is a
known fact that the Indians hold the
buffalo in great reverence. He plays
an important part in all their sacred
councils, medicine meetings and re-
ligious rites. ,
The Wichitas, Comanches, Chey-
ennes and Arapahoes make annual
visits to the buffalo ranch to make
medicine with the buffalo. Pawnee
Bill says he can't believe this is the
work OF the Indians, for they have al
ways shown such great friendship for
him and the buffalo. He would rather
think it is cattle thieves who are
aware that the Indians will pay any
price or trade their best pony for a
chunk of buffalo meat. =
This makes four that have been
shot,. three bulls and one heller, If
they should continue to kill the bulls
there is great danger of annihilating
the herd. ~. 49,
Pawnee Bill has appealed to the
county and state officials and now in

Justice at Washington for protection,
