A PURE WHITE BUFFALO, SAYS
BAIR CAMP ROUSTABOUT

Drifting into The Republican office
about the time the last show crowds
were making for home Christmas eve,
a roustabout from the Lost Soldier
announced that he had just arrived
in town from a buffalo hunt in the
high peak district north OF the Bair
camp. Apparently as sober as a
Judge he ~recounted how he had
strapped on a pair of skees early in
the day. taken a rs special rifle and
started out to get a coyote skin with
which to trim a storm coat. Making
his way to higher ground he found
himself following what appeared to
be a we'll made highway. along which
every half mile or SO there had been
prospect tunnels driven into a vein
Of coal. Coming to one of these near
the head of a ravine he was aston
ished to find the animal tracks in
the fresh snow leading directly into
a small tunnel. Investigating with
some caution he came within SIGHT
Of W blazing balls of fire set in a
background Of pure snow white. Re-
turning to the mouth of the tunnel
he decided to build a fire and smoke
the animal out, thinking OF course,
that it was a white COW. Instead of
d COW, d great Duik OF pure white
wool an dtwo white horns with brown
tips. two burning black eyes and I'M
mfstakably a buffalo broke through
the smoke and stopped dead still near
the portal Of the tunnel. Although
with a rifle in hand and the buffalo
within twenty feet of him and evil
IDENTIFY dazed by the smoke and light,
he says he was so astonished that
he never moved in his tracks until
after the buffalo had broke for the
hills. Realizing that he had prob
ably overlooked the opportunity of a
life time, as he had never before be-
lieved that there was such a thing as
a white buffalo. he took after the
fleeing animal and followed in a
winding southwesterly direction until
he arrived within sight OF the Will
lows storm shelter without ever hav-
ing caught another sight Of 1t. He
said that he had Just arrived In town
and was looking for a place to eat.
The Republican would like to have
the gentleman call again, as he did
not leave his name. II anyone else
has seen this white buffalo, let us
know,
