The saliva would hold the bullet on the powder long enough for him to fire. He never dismounted, except to finish off a wounded animal. Buffalo Bill and the professional slaughtered In this way : The buffalo does not see well, lint has a very keen smell. So the hunter crept up on the herd to leewsrd to easy range of a heavy Sharp's rifle, with a telesonjie sight. There he lay and picked off Ids animals at his leisure. The buffalo, terrified and bewildered by the sight and smell of Idood. huddled together and did not run. When the hunter had killed to the rapacity of his skinning outfit he railed It a day and quit. The buffalo, notwithstanding Its size, whs not a hard animal to kill, provided the hunter was experienced and knew where to place Ids bullet. But tlie first attempts of a greenhorn were almost Invariably unsuccessful. Says Ruxton : No animal requires so much killing as a buffalo.

Guess for yonrself. Wagon trains had them In sight for many successive days. The first railroad trains were frequently stopped for hours. Steamboats on the upper Missouri were stopped by swimming herds. The buffalo were nomndlc, wandering In search of pasturage. They also had certain migratory movements caqsed by regional or seasonal changes In forage or weather. The vast herds were made np of coherent bands which marched In files Fremont describes the hence the buffalo trails. great highways, continuous for hundreds of miles, always several Inches, and sometimes several feet in depth, which the buffalo have made In crossing from one river to another, or In traversing the mountain ranges. The buffalo swam rivers aud climbed mountains, but ordinarily took the easiest way, as the guides and early railroad engineers discovered. qnjckly ' Each band In the herd had Its bulls, which formed a defensive circle aronnd the cows and calves in time of danger whether from blixzard or from wolvesr Only a full-grogrizaly could beat n n boll and the grlxsly seldom tried. Nature apparently undertook to prevent an overplus of buffalo by making the huge animals easily object to panic; whole herds have run over a precipice or Into a bog. Tha Plains Indian, himself a nomad within tribal boundaries, lived on the buffalo. But he killed only what he needed ; It la doubtful If he even kept down the natural Increase of the herd. The whlf man at flrat killed for food oily. But he aoog became wanton, killing a buffalo for the take of tha tongue or for a slice of the hump. Presently he saw in the hide an article ff commerce and sot the Indiana to taking them to the traders.

The first shipment waa an exciting affair. Two hundred young animals were cut out from the big herd and were driven by mounted men by meant of corral and chute Into seven special cars The railroad took tha cars by way of Edmonton to Waterways on the Clearwater river, a tributary of the Athabasca a Journey of about S50 miles At Waterways tha buffalo, in good condition, were transferred to huge scows especially fitted up for the purpose. Steamers then took them about 290 miles by way of the Athabasca river, Lake Athabasca and Slave river. The unique cargo arrived at La Butte In good condition. The gangways were let down, the gates were opened and the buffalo made a mighty rush for the shore.
