WELL, WELL, THE BUFFALO
THREATENS TOCOME BACK

A herd of seven buffalo were
roaming at large in the upper Cen
t~ennial valley recently, according
to word from a rancher of that sec
ton. They have been causing great
annoyance to the ranchers there as
the fences mean nothing to them and
hay corrals have been invaded as
well as farm yards, the entire herd
feeding at leisure wherever they may
happen to be.
The herd has been driven into the
mountains several times by cowboys,
but they return and seem to prefer
the Picnic Springs ranches to all
others. AS it is dangerous for a
man on foot to approach them, the
owner finds it impossible to feed his
hens except by mounting his horse
and packing the feed across a small
creek, where his chickencoops are
located.
The buffalo belong in Idaho and
are said to be descendants of the
big buffalo bull that killed Dick Rock
several years ago at his game corral.

OPEN RANGE RANCH
DAYS LIVED OVER
GREAT ANNUAL STAMPEDE All
WOLF POINT LINKS PAST
WITH PRESENT

The shaggy buffalo no longer dot
the hills and plains of eastern Mon
tana as they did in the days when
the patient progress of the steam
boats on the Missouri was sometimes
impeded by their countless numbers
Their place on the range has been
taken by the white face and the
shorthorn, and by droves of horses
and woody flocks. Doughty Indian
warriors no longer ride down their
game and win their winters food and
shelter with the bow and arrow, or,
perchance, the rifle.
Those days of trial and adventure
have gone, as well as the succeeding
period when the open range and the
big ranch held sway. But each year
the spirit of those days is revived
in the Stampede, and the roundup,
with their programs of rodeo con-
tests and stunts, when the nerviest
| cowboys and the widest outlaw
broncs are pitted against each other
in riding and roping contests that
Jingle the nerves of the spectators,
/ composed now mostly of tenderfeet-
Those days are also revived in the
attending gatherings of the remaining
representatives of the tribes that have
long made these hills and valleys their
home.
The Fourth annual Wolf Point
Stampede, to be held this year, July
10th to 18th, bids well better than
ever before to reproduce the customs
of those old times and the prowess
of the cowboy or the cowgirl and the
horse-loving Indian.
The Stampede of last year and the
year before has attracted skilled ri
ders from numerous distant parts,
Canada, Wyoming and even Texas
This year will see most of those RI
ders back and others with them.
Several of the rodeos at other Mon
tana points are now being held be-
fore the Wolf Point Stampede, which
brings the riders and rodeo followers
together within convenient distance
from here and insures their atten-.
dance. The management expects that.
the competition for the liberal prizes
that are again offered will be keen-
er than ever before.
Besides the regular contests new
features will be introduced that will
lend interest to every minute of the
daily programs. The slogans, eve
Ride EN- Wild" and "Ride En-
Sioux" suggest the spirit and the at
mosphere of these three great days
now well advertised over all of this
section of the Northwest.
At this ~pleasantest season of the
year, when most people have some.
leisure before the busy harvest time,
would be difficult to find a bet
ter way of spending a few days va
cation and outing than to come to-
Wolf Point to the big Stampede.

err for a social meeting during each
Stampede, or possibly form an organ
~ization of some kind. Stories of when
and how each one came into the
Wolf Point country are always in
teresting.
J.. B. Randall believes he is now
the third oldest resident of this COM
munity, being outranked in point of
residence by only S. 7. Cogswell and
Hank Cusker. Johnny" came in
over the Texas trail with a drove of
cattle in 1889. The end of the trail
in those days was considered to be
Miles City. ]. B. came on north to
see what the country along the Mis-
souri, was like. He crossed the river
south of Oswego and the first white
man he talked to was Jack Flynn,
who is still living. The next thing
he saw that interested him was a
big fat squaw riding on top Of a load
of brush. J. B. was single then.
Came Back To Stay
That fall he went back to his old
home in the state of Maine, but came
back to Wolf Point the next spring.
His first visit to the Wolf Point To-
cality was just after the battle of
Wounded Knee and the capture of
Sitting Bull. The Sioux were wildly
excited and the tomtoms could be
heard beating in every Sioux viii
lage. Occasionally a few young
bucks would slip away and beat it
to the scene of the fighting. He saw
Sherman Cogswell and Hank Cusker
who said the army officers had or
dered them to come into Poplar as
they could not promise them protec-
ton elsewhere. While passing
through Chicago on his way west the
next spring, Mr.. Randall says he
noticed a large crowd gathered in
front of the Chicago Tribune win
dows. There was exhibited a dozen
or more blood-cIotted buckskin
shirts, souvenirs brought from the
battle of Wounded Knee. Chicago
people were wildly excited, their
hair almost lifted their hats from
their heads at the mere thought of
G wild Indian. The youth from Maine
casually mentioned that he was on
his way to live right amongst that
same tribe and it was hard for the
folks to believe it. They said,
"Boy, you'll surely be killed. It's
suicide, nothing but suicide" But
Johnny came nevertheless and lives
to tell the tale. !

TWO BOYS LOST 3 DAYS
in BREAKS OF MISSOURI

Lost in the wild and rugged breaks
of the Missouri river for ~ hours was
the thrilling experience of two young.
lads, aged seven and nine years, sons
Of J. H. Bauskey, a rancher residing
near Wilder. The two youths had
wandered away from home, some
time elapsing before their absence
was discovered. The alarm was sent
out to n~eighboring ranchers and a
search instituted, with every rider in
that immediate vicinity joining in the
hunt for the little fellows.
Occasionally they ran across the
foot prints of the children which were
d~iscernable in the soft ground, only
to lose them again within a short
distance. With scarcely any letup
the searchers continued their quest
for the lost children over a period of
70 hours, securing every part of the
badly cut up brakes which in this
section + scanned with innumerable
ravines, making the task of the
searching party an exceptionally diff
ficult one.
Close to the banks Of the Missouri
river the tracks of the boys were
picked up again and then followed
a short distance on the harder ground
and were once more lost. For a time
it vas thought the youthful wander
had ventured too close to the
steep banks of the river and fallen
in.
Continuing the search, however,
the tracks were once more found be-
low the point where it was thought
they had fallen into the river, and
this place tracking was not so
difficult. Arriving at the Little
Crooked store the boys were found
apparently none the worse for their
long pilgrimage through one of the
sections of northern Fergus
and nearly 40 miles from
their home. How the little children
managed to make this long trip
a broken country infested
wolves and coyotes without
meeting with any sort of mishap ap-
pears to border on the miraculous.

MANY OLD TIMERS
WHO HAVE STUCK
WILL ATTEND THE STAMPEDE.
HERALD WISHES TO COM
PLETE ITS LIST

The yearly stampedes at Vol
Point, besides furnishing entertain
ment of the so-called Wild Yves
style, serve the happy purpose o
bringing together, to renew friend
ships and review old days, the pic
neers and trail blazers of twenty t.
forty or more years ago, affordlns
opportunity to trace the changes IL
the land they chose for their home:
and which they have helped to bring
to it's present state of development
1t is difficult, in fact impossible
for the newcomer, who has lived here
but a few years, to have acquaintance
with or knowledge of all old timers
residing in this section of Montana
who have been here approximately
twenty years or upward. Even
though their numbers have been thin.
ned by the passing of many, it is
surprising how many can be listed
with the aid of just a few inquiries,
In. practically every neighborhood
there are a few men who came to
Montana during or before the days of
the open range. 1t speaks well for
Old Montana that SO many of the
original settlers have been able to
survive the vicissitudes that are in
evitable in every new land, and that
SO many of these pioneers have been
held by the lure that is peculiar to
the Treasure state.
1t is certain that any list that
is made without thorough research
will contain the names of only a frac-
ton of the total number of 20-year-
old pioneers living within easy reach
of Wolf Point, but here are a few

A new DEsC1 FUR
DOING AWAY WITH
CEARSHIFT SHOWN

The death Of the gearshift in auto
mobiles often has been announced,
but the funeral has never taken place.
The latest advance notice of the pass
ing of the gearshift and the differen-
tial is complicated mechanism shown
first in last years auto salon, in Paris,
and exhibited again in perfected form
this year by one Of the best makers
of France.
1t has been tried for two years on
trucks and some test cars, but prob
ably won't get on the market unit,
next year. 1t is series of ratchets
automatically thrown into action pro-
gressively as the car gains speed 50
that the motor, continuing to turn az
normal speed, applies its power al
what corresponds to a very low gear
at the start, and at an increasingly
higher gear as the speed increases
until direct drive is reached.
AS there is neither diiferential MOI
gearshift the driver has only to start
let in his clutch and step on the ac-
celerator. The amount of gas alon;
determines the power applied, and The
speed is dependent upon the power re
quired to move the car.
Besides simplifying a car, tai:
mechanism is intended to obyiat'
shock to the engine and prevent stall
ling the motor. If a heavy load were
put suddenly upon the engine thu
mechanism automatically would a.
just itself, changing the gear to ;
lower one that would allow the engin,
to maintain an efficient speed Will
propelling the car at a slower rate.
