concealment the ground afforded,
he would begin the work of des-
truction by firing at the nearest
animal The buffalo, seeing moth
ing and hearing only the report,
would usually remain quiet in won
derment Presently the wounded
animal would fall and the others,
smelling its blood, would gather
round and try to make it rise or
else go on grazing, evidently think
ing that their companion had lain
down to rest. Meanwhile the hun
ter's rifle would be busy. Shot
after shot would bring down victim
after victim until the whole band
had been killed.
The buffalo was hard animal to
kill. A ball upon its shaggy head
or neck was DETECTED as though
from a panoply of steel. Wounds
in the rear of the body were seldom
fatal. 1t was only in the region of
the heart that bullet was sure,
and the Indians and white hunters
always aimed to strike there.
In the spring of the year, when
the ice was going out, great num-
bers of the animals were drowned
in the Missouri river while trying
to cross. In some years their bodies
floated down the stream in such
as to render the air almost
to boat crews and
on their way up the
river. Indians liked this kind of
buffalo meat better than any other
and would tow carcasses ashore to
be cut up.
There are today less than 1000
buffalo in captivity in the United
States, the largest herd being in the
National Bison reserve in the
southwestern part of the Flathead
indian reserve in Montana, where
/ small herd has grown to several
and another herd is grow
ng at normal rate in Yellowstone
Park.
The herd in the National Bison
eserve have found home in a
ountry of romance and much his
orical interest. Here the Flathead
indians have dwelt since encroach-
ng civilization beat them back
rom their once free hunting
rounds. Every gulch and ridge
ears name preserving a frag-
tent of tradition in tongue that
yer reaches the world in lessening
-hispers. The Indian, especially
ne old man, feels warm and low
lg interest in the buffalo, for the
ate of his race and of the bison
re akin. Both now exist at the
lercy of their old-time foe, the
hite man. Had it not been for
lie comparatively recent activity in
establishing the two herds amid
1itable surroundings for propaga-
on, the buffalo would in a very
w years have departed from the
ice of the earth with the fast-van-
hing Indian and would live only
the history and tradition of the
estern frontiers that have also
one forever.

interviewer closely with the his
tory of the far west" is the story
of the buffalo of the American
plains, which roamed the prairies
in countless millions a century ago
and became practically extinct
within few decades after the kill
ing of the animals for their hides
became a commercial industry. 1t
is believed that no other great ami
NAL family was ever wiped out 50
rapidly.
The American bison was found
by the first colonists of the Caro-
linas, and other of the southern
and middle states, from which parts
of the continent they were soon
frightened away or exterminated.
In the latter part of the 18th cen
fury they were seen in wild state
in Kentucky. Early in the 10Th
century most of these animals in
the region east of the Mississippi
were exterminated or had found
their way to the prairies west of
the great river. The earliest ac-
count of buffalo given by white
men is that of Coronado, who saw
great herds Of them on his march
northward from Mexico in 1885,
between the Missouri river and the
Rocky Mountains. One of the ear
Hest buffalo hunts on big scale
was that described by M. Nicollet
in the late sos, which took place
near Fort Pierre, in South Dakota.
Horace Greedy, in his journey
across the continent by stage in
1859, encountered herds estimated
to number millions in western Kan
sas.
The number of buffalo in the
west in the early SOS was estimated
roughly at from fifteen to twenty
millions. They ranged from Mexi-
co north to the Arctic circle as far
as the Great Slave Lake, but their
natural home was on the plains be- i
tween the Missouri river and the
Rocky Mountains, and not farther
south than the Rio Grande. Out
side the limits of their real habitat
the few small herds that existed
were stragglers. Daniel Boone
once found herd in Kentucky that
1000, but that was
large one for that territory.
For years a goodly portion of
the meat consumed by early settlers
in the middle west and west was
cut from the carcass of the shaggy
animal which SO long existed as
of the plains. Thousands
of people who crossed the plains in
wagon trains drew their supply of
meat from the same source. Buff
falo trails were followed westward
because it was known that they :
would lead to water. Buffalo :
chips" even furnished fuel to the

Accidental Deaths for Year
Reachz3 ,483, According
to Health Reports

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.--Babies
who were too = young to realize
danger, and old men who couldn't
move quickly enough to avoid, It,
swe1led the total Of accidental
deaths to 3,438 in New York City
last year, health department re-
ports reveal. This represents de-
crease OF 400 from the accidental
deaths OF 1919.
Only 987 Of the victims were f.
males, while 2.495 were males.
Even among infants the death rate
for males was by far the higher,
probably, according to the health
office, because boy-babies often
come to grief through inqutsitive-
ness and a natural tendency to
seek adventure
The most I'M portant causesof &C
cidental death from a mum erical
standpoint is the AUTOMOBILE, the
report continues. Last year 849b
persons Were killed in this city as
the result of automobile accidents.
This is equivalent to ratio of al
most is per 100000 OF population
and represents a net increase OF
one per 100 since 1919.
We must not lose sight however
Of the fact that the number of ia
tai street accidents has not kept
pace with the increase in number
Of vehicles using the streets If the
same ratio between accidents and
vehicles obtained today as in pre-
yious years, the abilities would be
many times greater. so that in
reality a big saving in life has been
affected through regulation of traf-s
fic and the closing of streets for
play during certain hours Of the

Certainly this was a needless.
loss OF life" says the health depart
ment. almost one-third of these
deaths occurred am ong children un
der five years of age. In other
words, among little children who
were allowed to go put on fire es-
capes or to lean out of windows.
Surely this indicates gross ne
gligence and calls for active propa-
ganda to educate parents not to
permit little tots to engage in such
hazardous forms of play"

TO OPEN KINSTEAD
HOME AT MONTPELIER

Kinstead, the Shelter Home of the
Board of Charities and Probation,
has been turned over to the State
and will soon be ready for the re-
ception of the children who are conf
mitted to the care of the board by
the courts. The furnishings are be-
ing moved in, so far as they have
been provided for, and by the end OF
the present month all should be in
readiness for the coming of the chill
dren. Friends of the children and the
board of charities have shown a deep
interest in the work of Secretary
Jeffrey and when it was found that
the Legislature had appropriated
barely enough to erect the building
they came to the assistance of the
board.
Montpelier gave the seven acre site
and her people have given, in drap-
cries, furnishings and in other ways
several hundreds of dollars in addi-
ton to the site. Kinstead will accom-
modate &c children and will require
three persons for it's care. The
board of charities has not, as yet de-
cided upon the entire personnel of the
staff for the home. Mrs. Tayor and
Miss Jackman, who for some two
years have boarded children for the
department will be employed as as
sistants but the house mother or
matron has not been decided upon.

STATE TRYING
TO PROTECT ROADS

State Highway Commissioner L. w.
Dix has made preparations to do the
highway departments part in the pro-
lection of roads in accordance with
General Laws, No. $50, of the stat
utes of 1921 by preparing notices.
Any action under this statute now
awaits the application of selectnhen
of the towns, Commissioner Dix
states.
The notices read as follows: "No
automobile or motor vehicle having a
weight, including vehicle and load ex-
ceeding 800 pounds per inch of tire
width on any wheel shall be operated
on the-road so-called leading from
in the town Of
during any period when the ground
is soft as when frost is coming. out
or after heavy rains. By order of the
State Highway Board, I. w. DIX,
commissioner"
In proceedings under the statute re-
ferred to, the selectmen must first ap-
ply to the State highway commission
er in regard to posting a stretch of
road. The district highway commits
sioner for that district then investi-
gates the road and reports to the
State Highway Board. If it is decld-
ed that the road needs protection, the
notices are posted at each end of the
road. One is dispayed in a newspa-
per circulating in and in the vicinity
of the town in which the road is To-
Gated. Notices are also to be filed
with the selectmen of the town. The
selectmen must prosecute and collect
damages. The prosecution would be
conducted by the States Attorney of
the county in which the town was 10
tcated.
