1t Is safe to state that there we're in the neigh
borhood of 50,OOO,OOO buffalo ranging between
Manitoba and the staked plains of Texas. Their
numbers were literally innumerabe. SO vast
were they that the first trains on the Union Pa
cine railroad were often obliged to stop until
the immense herds had crossed their tracks
"In 1871 it was not uncommon to see herds
of buffalo from 90 to 80 miles in width. That
same year Col Richard Irving Dodge, an army
officer Of over 80 years experience In Indian
warfare. drove in a light wagon along the Ar
kansas river from Walnut Creek TO Pawnee Fork
through herd of buffalo not less than %
miles wide and extending north and south as far
as the eye could reach
'Tt was when the Union Pacific railroad was
being built. in 1S69-70 that the real slaughter
of the buffalo began. Thousands Of men flocked
to the plains to enter this new and novel in
dustry, and so countless were the hides which
were thrown upon the market that the price
dwIndled from 81 and s. each to as low as 81.
'At one time 10000 buffalo hides stacked
In a corral at Dodge City Kan. awaiting ship
ment. The hide hunters took only the skin, leav-
ing the carcass to rot, while thousands of men
be II said to their disgrace slaughtered buff
falo for the mere wanton pleasure of killing.
Zone night early In the COS, Gen. Phil Sher
idan and Major Inman were occupying the Office
of Robert NJ. Wright, prominent business man
of Dodge City, Kan. They had just made
trip from Camp Supply. and Mr.. Wright was
called into the office TO consult with the officers
as to the probable number of buffalo between
Dodge City and Camp Supply. Taking a strip 50
miles east and 20 miles west, they had first
made an estimate OF 100000 General Sher-
idan said That won't do They figured while
longer and finally made 1t 1.000,000,000. Finally
they reached the conclusion that there must be
100, 100000. but said they were afraid TO give
out those figures lest they be accused OF pre-
varicating. But they stated that they believed
It, nevertheless.
The completion OF the western railroad div
ided the buffalo into two immense herds-the
northern and the southern. The southern herd
In 1871 was estimated at 100000 and was be-
ing diminished at the rate OF 1900 to 1000 a
day. Robert Wright and Charles Rath of Dodge
City shipped over 100000 buffalo hides the first
winter the A. T. & S. F. railroad reached Dodge,
and they estimated that other parties shipped
as many more.
The Santa Fe Railroad company compiled
the following table showing the shipments made
over their line well the Union Pacific and

Doctor Heals Wing of
Crow Broken by Dog

Centerville. Iowa.-A big black crow
was cawing from the treetops the
prowess of DR.. W. NJ. Read, who
performed a bit of surgery that healed
the crows broken wing.
Things looked black for the crow
when he was caught recently by a
dog. His wing was broken and he
was unable to escape the dog when
Doctor Read rescued him, took him to
his Office. stripped away the feathers,
and set the wing bone. After little
more than month in splints. the crow
convalesced in Doctor Reads Office
while his feathers grew in again.
Then one morning he leaped to the
window sill, tapped his wings in a
trial fight, and took off.

From 1872 to 1874 it is estimated that there
were 1,7S0,461 buffalo killed and wasted, the
meat being left to rot upon the plains the hides
only being utilized. 1t is reckoned that 158 $50
in all were killed by white hunters and the hides
shipped over the Santa Fe During the same
period the Indians killed but 100000 Besides
these, settlers and mountain Indian tribes are
estimated to have killed 10000, so that the
grand total for these years was $685. Dur
ing the following year (1875), the end came to
the great southern herd, and at the close of
the year it had been nearly swept from the
earth. One hunter in Ford county, Kan is
credited with having killed 100 buffalo at one
stand in 40 minutes, and in 80 days to have
slain 2,173. Another Dodge City man says he
killed 1900 in days, and that his greatest
slaughter was 25O in single day. He employed
10 SINNERS whose sole duty was to follow him
up with wagons and remove the hides as fast
he killed the animals
The great northern herd went the same way
In 1882 it was estimated that there were 1OOO-
600 alive in this herd. But there were at least
5000 white hunters in the field shooting and
saughtering the beasts at every point. Then
came 1888 Thousands more grabbed rifles and
took to the field Such a merciless war of ex-
land"
The final chapter in the orgy of killing may be
summarized in one fact. In 1884 the Northern
Pacific railroad carried one scanty carload of
buffalo hides east-the last it ever carried The
day of the buffalo was over

DEADLIEST SNAKE
KILLED BY WOMAN
Uses Automobile Crank to Slay
Dread Bushmaster.

Panama, r. P.-Dr. Raymond Dit

who came here from New York and
spent four busy days vainly hunting
the bushmaster. the deadliest snake in
tropical America, will be sorry he was
not driving with two American women,
Mrs. William Gates and Mrs. Everett
Seaburg, from this city to Madden
dam recently.
A heavy tropical downpour had de-
layed their return to the construction
camp where their husbands are en-
ployed by the Callahan Construction
company on the Madden dam, and
they were driving over the concrete
highway through the jungle with flare
light ablaze. Suddenly, they saw
crawling across the road a snake so
long that it was impossible to keep
from running over it.
The car was stopped and in the
moonlight It could be seen that the
snake was stunned, so the car was
backed over it just to make a good
Job. but the snake had revived enough
to strike viciously at the rear tire.
Then. armed with the engine crank.
the women left the car and crushed
the snakes head.
The dead serpent was wrapped in
a newspaper and placed on the back
seat of the car and the women went
happily on their way, believing that
they would have as souvenir of
their adventure the skin of the harm
less boa constructor. They took their
prize to the dispensary. where they
learned to their CONSERVATION that
they had been within the short length
of an engine crank from the death
dealing fangs of a bushmaster.
The snake measured 7 feet 2 inches
in length and its needle-pointed fangs
were more than an inch long.
