chester was far more effective and I used
1t with deadly effect.
The use of the word II" is unavoidable
in this article as I naturally have to be
the hero of my own story, for 1t is my
personal experience in the last sur
round" Of the buffalo in what was then
the northern part Of Meagher county
along the south side Of the Missouri
river.
Guard Their Calves
The buffalo never leave their young
calves unguarded. Six or eight young
calves would lie down together but a
strong young COW was always on guard
while the mothers would Craze at some
distance. No wolf or coyote could ever
get a buffalo calf. When trailing or
running the mother always had her calf
right with her, well In front. Nature
has protected the young Of all animals,
whether deer, antelope, elk or buffalo, by
the lack Of scent from them in some
mysterious manner A coyote or wolf
could not discover by scent a pair Of
young antelope or deer hidden in the
high grass or sage brush even If within a
few feet. They would squat their heads
down to the ground and lie motionless.
l have many times caught young ante
lopes by simply picking them up, but
when oace you got your hands on one
the child-like. bleating was pathetic. He
would be a brute, indeed, who would not
Immediately turn it loose. 1t took but q
short time until the youngster could keep
up with it's mother, say q week or 10
days. A buffalo calf could put up a great
scrap and when only q week old could
kick vigorously, in fact they are as pro-
flcient with their hind legs as an elk
with his forefeet, as many a hunter has
found out.
Cowboys In those days on the Judith
roundup would occasionally rope a wolf
as any horse can run Town a wolf. Some
very exciting sport can be had when sew
eral ropes suspend Mr.. Wolf in the air.
In one instance, a two-year-old cinna-
mon bear was roped and finally shot but
not until Mr.. Bear had given them a
thrilling time. A wolf can cut a rope
with one snap Of his teeth Just as If 1t
were done with q sharp knife.
The buffalo range that / am writing
about was on Dog creek about where the
town Of Winifred is now located. Now

The sudden disappearance of the buff

me. In fact, I killed by last buffalo, a

WHEAT MARKET
FIRM AT CLOSE
Big Export Buying Brings
Late Upward Swing-COrn
Hits New High

Chicago, March 20.-(AP) = Big
export buying of wheat from North
America, about 100000 bushels
brought about > late upward SWING
in the wheat market today. On the
other hand, some wheat was booked
to come here from Omaha for de-
lievery on March contracts. Corn
touched new high price records Tor
the season, indications being that a
large amount of elevator corn Is GO
ing fast from here all-rail, despite
nearness Of the opening OF lake
navigation.
Wheat closed firm 1-2c to 3-4 to
7-8c, net higher; corn to lie
up, oats Use off to 18c up, and
provisions unchanged to a rise OF
15c.
Simultaneous with bulges in the
wheat market today, rye advanced
to a new high price record for the
season. Advices which were current
telling of more pressing need OF
breadstuffs for Continental Euro
pean countries, however, were large
" counterbalanced by word that lib
eral purchases of Argentine wheat
for Europe had been affected. Profit
taking sales on advances here were
also much in evidence.
Persistent selling Of corn on the
part Of various spectators developed
today when the corn market scored
advances because Of talk of prospec-
tive further export business, COM
bined with a decrease in corn ar
rivals throughout the west. On the
ensuing declines, though, another
speculative group became conspicu-
Gus on the buyinf side Of the mar
ket, and did a good deal to keep
values in poise.

Balloon Jumper Is

Paris, March 20.-(R)-The bal
loon jumper Botal, in testing a new
parachute, jumped $50 feet to his
death today from the second plat
form of the Eiffel tower.
Tests had been made successfully
previously with sand bags, but
when Botal jumped the parachute
failed to open. He was the second
person to die in attempting q para
chute jump from the tower.
Scores Of tests have been made
from the Eiffe. Tower with dummies
since the war. Most of these tests
have been successful but man has
never yet succeeded in floating down
from the tall tower.
Botal's attempt was a test Of q

STOCK PRICES
SWING UPWARD
Speculation For Advan c e
Breaks Out on Wall Street
Today

New York, March 2O.-(AP)-
Speculation for the advanc. broke
out anew in today's stock market
when the general list swung upward
under the leadership of Radio and
General Motors. Radio scared 1919
points to 1881 as against low of
1876 yesterday, and General Motors
moved up points to new peak at
173. Scores of others advanced 3
to Is points with the short interest
again in urgent retreat. Total sales
crossed the 100000 mark before
the end of the third hour.
There was nothing in the days
news to explain the fresh outburst
of speculative enthusiasm. There
has been no marked change for the
better in the course of spring trade,
but apparently there is a huge
March reinvestment demand which
is making itself felt in some of the
seasoned dividend paying stocks. A
new crop of rumors sprang up to
account for the sensational advances
in few issues but most of them
lacked official confirmation.
u. S. Cast Iron Pipe, which is ex-
pected to announce recapitalization
plan which may involve a 10 for !
stock split-up next month, added Is
points to its 28A points gain of yes
terday.
Collins and Altman climbed Z
points, Houston Oil and Rossia In
surance 6 each, and Victor Talking
Machine, American Linseed. Kelsey
Wheel, Wright Aeronautical, Amer
lean Locomotive. Green Cananea
Copper, Midland Steel products pre-
ferred and Case Threshing were
among the many issues to sell 3 or
more points above yesterdays final
quotations.
The closing was strong. The mar
ket absorbed profit taking sales well
as the uprush Of prices carried Radio
Corporation to 1853 3-4 and General
Motors to 173 3-8. Keen opposition
from other stocks caused some adj
ditional notable advances. Rossia
insurance gained IL points, A. NJ.
Byers 6, and Electric Auto-Lite S
IL. Mackay Co., after touching
134, broke to 12O 1-2. Toward the
close, Radio broke over Z points on
