BUFFAL0ES RAPIDLY
DYING OUT IN WEST
Once Great Herd on Phillips
Ranch Now Reduced to
Few Hundreds.
By the Associated Press.

FORT PIERRE, S. OAK, August
2l.-ln gulley on the Missouri
Rivers western bank a few hundred
buffalo nestle lazily where once roamed
thousands Of their kin.
They represent the remainder of the
old Scotty Phillips herd. once the
largest buffalo herd in captivity, and
the source Of almost all the buffalo to
be seen in American parks and pre-
serves.
Phillips. an Indian trader and a
rancher of q generation ago. was the
first to take practical recognition of
the fact that the buffalo was dying
out. He established a herd of the
shaggy beasts on his ranch here. and
with his half.breed wife cared for the
thousand, and was virtually the only
buffalo herd. wild or tame. in the
United States.
Since the death of Phillips some
years ago the herd has been largely
dispersed. and parks and reserves in
a dozen States have established herds
of their own by acquiring animals
from the ranch here. Circuses and
carnivals also have been good Gus
toners.
The Phillips herd now numbers
less than 2,000. but each Fall the
ranch is the scene of a big buffalo
hunt. In which sportsmen from
throughout the country participate.
Pioneers of western South Dakota
recall many interesting tales about
buffalo hunts Of bygone days. The
most famous was at Buffalo Gap. S.
Oak, socalled because there. at a
pass through a mountain chain. the
buffalo would congregate at the mi
grating season. sometimes to the
number of 100000.
The buffalo hunters greatest peril
laid in the danger of being unhorsed
in the path Of a buffalo stampede.
The animals. running forward would
never swerve from a straight line
Occasionally the buffalo would charge
mounted hunter. but the animals
are easily outridden If a path of
escape Is clear.
Likelihood that the buffalo ever will
become extinct has virtually passed
A hardy animal, the buffalo will live
and flourish In captivity. He is diffi-
cult to transport by train. however,
and most Of the shipments Of buffalo
from the Phillips ranch have been
made on passenger train schedule.

If emissaries really did go to Bel

Many people believe, nevertheless
that unofficial conversations have
taken place on the subject between
persons acting for the government
and friends of the princes.

IT is difficult for the pretender to
