Show A hunters fancy the last buffalo hilled iu jewell county was on may 23 1872 A man rode up to the ranch of columbus palmer and reported that he had seen a buffalo iu a draw a mile or two away palmer took his dogs and started and thus describes what subsequently happened the dogs ran on ahead of me but pretty soon they camo tearing back with a big buffalo bull in full pursuit galloping but that bull did look big as he charged down on me with his tail in the air and his shaggy head shaking in fury I 1 tried to move off to one side but that was no use for the dogs kept coming toward mo whichever way I 1 turned it is said to bo impossible to kill a buffalo which is coming head on but I 1 saw something had to bo done mighty quick so I 1 dropped to my knee and plugged him square in the forehead he fell dead in his tracks and I 1 am now convinced that any man who says a buffalo cannot bo shot through the skull is a liar kansas city journal |
