Cowboy Uses Lassos Made to Hold

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

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 committee ei
ther directly applying for places in line
for organizations or making inquiry
regarding the program with that end
in view
