ALMOST SLAIN sy BUFFA LOEB. 'J'wo Hunters tuddenly Contronted by a Ierd They Stampede the Dea.ts and Escape Death-A Montana Adrenturo. In the smn mer of 1879, while stationed at one of tho ft ontier forts in the Yellow stone Valley, Spotted Eagle's band of hostiles, a fragment of Bitting Bull's great camp, were brought in as prison ers of war. Orders were received to send them to Standing Rock Agency, and it -fell to my lot, writes a lieutenant in the regular army to the Philadelphia Times, to escort them across the coun try. My detachment nutmbere( thirty men, mounted on Cayuse ponies and well armed and equipped. The next morning, with our prisoners under guard, we struck out boldly across the country, in the dlirectioni of Standing Rock. It took us sixteen days to mtake the journey, which was full of interest ing incidents and adventures, for the country was a wild and, so to speak, un explored region as yet, with hostile Sioux and Cheyclnes scattered all through it. The plains of Montana were pretty full of buflhlo at the time I write, and it is of an adventure with thet 1 am going to speak. About the third day out we were in the midst of thousands of bison, and as it was no fun to kill them with a rifle or to still :.iint, by reason of numbers, I proposcd to have tho rare sport of hunting a few with the revolver and from horseback. Next morning I was up before break of ulay, and telling my orderly to accompatnyt me we started ahead of the conunand to hunt our game, each with a brace of Colt's ''forty .ive" revolvers and 200 rounds of amnut nition apiece strapped across our per sons. We came in sight of one herd as day was breaking, and immediately gave chase. ''he bison fled before us, we tearing after them like muol; but in a few minutes the herd scattered, and so we selected a certain bunch, which we followed up. .1. had gotten pretty close upon my quarry, when, whisk! out of sight they went, and in a moment I had followed them. They had gone over a bank into a creek so suddenly that, not observing it, I followed close upon their heels; and there we were, bullaloes, pony and myself, uninjured, but flound ering and swimming about in deep water. By the time I. got to the oppo site bank and secured my pony the buffaloes were gone out of sight, scamp ering across the prairie to join the intit herd, and my orderly stood on the bluff behind where we had just tumbled from, laughing at Ily predicament. Ie had luckily hhecked himself and steed just in time to save both from following us. In half an hour matters were straightened out and we rode to the top of a neigh boring knoll to get a view of the sur roundings. Our original herd was dim in the distance, a cloud of dust on the horizon telling where they were still going at full speed. While regretfully watchung them my orderly suddenly cx claimed: "Look, Lieutenant, here comes anoth er herd across the country, and making straight for us." Casting my eyes in the direction indi cated, sure enough another tremendous herd was pointing in the direction of our knoll and coming directly at ns like a thunder cloud. No use to .ly, for there was no place.to fly to. One solid 1litch mass was sweeping toward us like a whirlwind, and it bceano nee( sarv for us to do something, and do it quinilv, too, or have the life trampled out of us in a few minutes. ''Dism.ounit!' I cried; "sling the bridle over youri arm1, andt., whien I give the word, lire as rapidly as you can." WVe both disniounted and, drawing our four revolvers, opened lire on the solid phlanix at long range. Th'le great dreve of animals were phlunging wildly forward with their heads down, almost sweeping the ground, and coniseoiuently did niot see us. Our hope was to attract their attention, anmd by so doing to frighten them and endeavor to throw them out of their course. Hlad they seeni us ini the first plae they woul probably have baited or turned their course to one side. As it happenet1itd they kept madly on until our hiullets b egani to sting themi, wvhen the leaders looked up and seeing~ the strange sight in front of them, actually paused, or attempted to (d so, hut it was at their peril, for the forenm si were inmmediatehy trampled bteneih t h< feet of the rushing, crushinug mutituid behind. The pile oIf bodies was oui salvation, for it served as an imipedinmi to thoso in the rear, aond toget her witl our ran)id fire sort of saiiunpededl thi whole 6utflit. T1hie pile beeame highet and higher as buffao after 1bunhnlo enai rolling on to the heap, and this biloekadli actually caused the tremendous nms b< split and divide, a Iioiety goinhg eaet sidle of it. TPhe centre lu ed en cchielmcke, but the wings were still a' eepintg b y al railroad speed. WYe hunrt' d downi to tIa pile of carcasses as lIe> g our safesi point, and stood theme watching the see of animals ragintg and te aring by like th< bi!lows of aii angry sea. A hunmdret yards or so further oni thle wings cairm together again, and( there we were, ii the midst of that living mass, safe anm. froo trom harm. It was a strange, remiarkalde sight one wvhich I ntever explect to see ont eth again. My head tiurned dizzy with si: much motion all abouit. me, but both myself anmd thme orderly had sense enIouIgh to blaze away incessantly directly itn front of us, which himd the effect to throwv the successive leaders in still more confusion, and not. doubt wits the means~ of saving us from being trampled to death. After this tremendous herd of bison, going at ab)out twelve ilehs ant hour, had passed, wvhich coiinmd soe forty minutes of time, we found our selves among the scattered tail end of the herd. I [er was our chance. Quick ly singling out an animal, I was soon dashing alongside of him and pumping cold lead into his bosom from my re volver. My pony, wvell trained to such sport, never left fiis sidle until the poor brute staggered in his tracks. Wheni lie rolled over on the ptrairie, in the last throes of death, I singled out another big fellow andl was soon pourinig leaden pills into his shaggy hide also. I had dropped an even dozen before my little Cayuse or I became wind(edl. Thleni I looked around for my orderly, hut he was no whero to be som'I I anxiously scannedl the horizon to catch a gip of him, and( rodle h)aak over mty trail uin til sunset in hopes of f nd:ng some trace of hinm; but I sawv no i.igr. or indication of his presence, ant. se regretfully had( to give up the sonsch, for a time. T1aking may landmarks ai struck out for camp, which I reached dbout 9 o'clock that night.. The orderiy's pony had already como into camnp athea d o,f me, which left, the conclusion that the poor fellow had been unhorsed, or perhaps h ad. received some accident; and possibly hte miighat at that very moment be l,ying helpless on the prairie awaiting assistance fromi us. I immediately started the whole comi mand out in search of him, with orders to scour our b)ack trail even a far back as' our last camping place. I myself Went along with one party. About mid we heard a single shot fired far ~,, ~ ~~ the drknessq, and, listening itn 1' .c, ~i7badR about come to the conclusion that it was a mistake, when again faint 1y in the distance the shot was repeated. There could be no mistake now, for the signal was r?peatod at regular intervals of ten minutes, which led us to the spot, where we found the poor fellow trudging l along, tired and worn down with fatigue, but in good spirits and entirely un- o harmed. His horse had gotten away from him somehow, and left him alone r and afoot on the prairie. Ie immediate ly struck across the country in a direc- " tion that namust carry him across the main trail, which he did really discover before darkness set in. He had been following it ever since and firing his revolver as described until found by us. All the relief parties came up in an hour or so, having been attracted to the spot by the 1 signal shots, which had served to bring as to the same place. iMlouting the . t)rderly on his horse, brought along especially for the purpose, we once more turned in the direction of camp, which I we reached just as the sun was coming up over the eastern hills.
