Bagged by Famous Old Timo Cowboy Uses Lassos Made to Hold Up a Weight of Two Tons To Bring Back Live Trophies Buffalo Jones C J Jones old time cowboy and still youthful at sixty five has gone Colonel Theodore Roosevelt one better inthe African jungle While the former president who delights to be called a great faunal naturalist has been slaying wild beasts Buffalo Jones has been roping tho critters in true wild western style and he will bring the animals alive to the United States Here is a cablegram datod Nairobi Africa which was received the other day from Jones by F T Bird a law yer of New York city Have roped and tied rhinos giraffes leopards cheetahs and a variety of other wild animals One Immense rhino bull made trouble He charged all of our party close to a hundred times and smashed the tripod of the photographers camera The or orator erayod and rl his plates were uninjured e are gohsj after lions and African buffaloes next Men horses and dogs are in splendid con dition Hunting Lions With irecrackers There can be no doubt that Buffalo Jones has been going some When he first announced to the world tliut ho intended to get into the jungle with some good strong rope and some trustworthy firecrackers and gather in some wild animals many persons laughed at him Whoever heard of hunting lions with firecrackers asked one of his friends in derision Nobody as yet Jones replied But If a Hon gets into a thicket where we cant get at him I guess a firecracker or two will make him think its a mighty unhealthy locality and heH change his base of operations mighty fast Just before he left the United States Jones was a guest of the Campfiro club of New York at a banquet given in his honor The next day he slipped quietly aboard his steamer It was not until he reached London in the middle of February that the mission of Jones was entirely known To a London newspaper man who interviewed liim about roping lions he said Well the African Hon Is a difficult problem Its got to be solved Ill catch him all right but what will happen after that 1 pretend to know being a hunter and not a proph et I am taking my branding irons and the lions I dont want Ill brand and turn loose to fight another day I shall try the rhinoceros and the buffalo too if I can get him out of the bush My lassos are of Russian hemp hard twisted so that they will go through the air with the least pos sible resistance Though no thicker than a little finger my lasso will hold up a weight of two tons When I have made a capture I tie it with a rope through which runs a steel wire I believe in giving these wild things a fair sporting chance and Ill make good or know the reason why Other men may bring trophies of the hunt in the form of skins and skeletons but yours truly will bring the real live article back to the United States of America or miss his guess entirely Personnel of the Hunting Party One of the most interesting features of the trip of the Buffalo Jones party to Africa is the personnel of the party itself Besides Joues himself the party is made up of four men Arthur A Fowler the manager of the party Is a member of a firm of iron merchants He is a great sportsman and had arrauged for a trip to Africa and was prevailed upon to take the management of the Buffalo Jones party He accepted on condition that he pay all his owu expenses but was to have a full share of the sport Mr Fowler has a country house at Pea pack N J where he hunts regularly with the Essex hounds Guy H Scull is a Harvard man who has been a newspaper correspondent in two wars in Manchuria and South -Africa and he also led the party of Harvard men who went to the Baha mas on the Mayflower a little more than a year ago in search of hidden treasure The other members of the party are Marshall D Loveless of Ros well N M and Ambrose I Means of southern New Mexico Both are ex pert cow punchers Naturally the most interesting per sonality in the party is Buffalo Jones himself because he Is the last of the great plainsmen in active life Te be sure Buffalo Bill and Pawnee Bill are still alive but they no longer trail big game over the prairies as a means of livelihood This Jones does For years Jones was government game warden of Yellowstone park and while there he made numerous captures of full grown mountain lions by roping them Also his feat of man icuring the grizzly bears of the park made him known all over the country One of the exciting incidents of his eareer was the whipping of the bad bears of the Yellowstone park to put the fear of man Into their hearts WHEN ROOSEVELT GOMES HONE Features of Welcoming Gelsora tion to Former President BIG NAVAL Affl LAD PARAD Remarkable Demand For Tugboats by Greeting Parties Who Plan to Most the Colonel at Sea Ranchmen Rough Riders Military and Civic Societies Clamor For Places In the Parade Down on the river front at New York city it was said the other day that there was an unprecedented de mand for ocean going excursion boats for June IS when Colonel Theodore Roosevelt former president of the United States returns from Europe Nearly every big organization patri otic political and social in New York and scores from other cities it is un derstood have engaged or are trying to engage steamboats for June IS and though some of the railroads using boats on regular runs will char ter them for the celebration there are far from enough to go around at any price Some of the greeting parties plan to go far to sea and it is expect ed that iheve will be a race to be the first to meet Colonel Roosevelts steamer Some of the organizations planning to meet Colonel Roosevelt it was said are negotiating for all sorts of noise making Instruments such as foghorns and whistles which can be heard at great distances One organization more ambitious than the rest it was said was trying to get a great sawmill whistle now in use in the northwest forests whih can be heard twenty miles Two Parades Planned The plan of the celebration already has been decided to the extent that there is to be a big naval and land parade the former as the colonels ship comes up the bay and the latter after he lands While it is not yet known whether any war vessels will go to Newv York to take part In the naval parade there is talk of having Forts Hancock Wadsworth and Ham ilton salute- Colonel Roosevelt as ho comes up the bay Rough riders military civic and po litical organizations from all parts of the United States are almost begging for places in the land parade Cap tain Arthur F Cosby secretary of the general reception committee displayed recently a great batch of letters and telegrams from many of Colonel Roose velts old friends in the far wast some of them declaring that if a parade were held they would bring their owu horses all bedecked with new western saddles bought for the occasion and make a showing which wouldr stir up even New York William A Campbell telegraphed to William Loeb Jr one of the special Roosevelt reception subcommittee men from Omaha saying that 100 Omaha business men and stockmen from South Dakota Nebraska and Wyoming in sisted on coming to New York to meet Colonel Roosevelt and had determined to bring fifty horses These men he wired dont want to break in too strong or annoy your committee but want to know if they can have any sort of recognition from the committee in charge be permitted to ride in any parade or have repre sentation at any of your functions They are nonpartisan and nonsectarian friends of the distinguished ex-president from the west Colonel Zach Mulhall wrote also to Mr Loeb from Oklahoma City Okla that he wanted to bring a lot of fine fellows such as the colonel would b proud of He said Many Ranchmen E ger to Ccrre I would like to show my apprecia tion love and admiration for Colonel Roosevelt at his homecoming and have in New York as an outfit of the wvM ranchmen from th dlVerent state mounted on the best hursts of onr kind ever produi ed in the vteat strtvis of New York Thiv men would b big clean fellows and Colonel Roose velt would be proud of tliei It vud be my aim to muse New Yorkers to tip their hats to this delegation and would take such men from the west as have always been admirers of Mr Roosevelt I would have every man purchase the best new western sad dle used in our coantrv for the occa sion He adds rbat between fifty and sixtt men will come iiivvjiy J Edwin Prowne of Kaltftaore n - tional commandir of the Army nd Navy union writes that the union is most anxious to rake parr in the r ception to Colonel Roosevelt and has anions its members 150 of the finest New York policemen who would be proud to act as Colonel Roosevelts guard of honor at the homecoming Civic and military organizations in New York city have been among the foremost to ask places in line C S Busse has offered the rough riders of Company F Seventh regiment to act as escort Herman Veiler centurion of the New York division of the Cen turion Road club which he says is the largest and oldest bicycle club in America wants to put 200 men in line as a bicycle escort These are only a small part of the letters received by the
