When W. T. Collins of Beaver City
announced recently that he would of

I kans who read the announcement
went back to the days when the- Am
erican bison roamed the Nebraska
plains ..nd affi rded the Indians meat,
c lot bine:, shelter and articles of per
sonal adornment.
Historians estimate that at one
imc ten nn'llhms buffalo fed on the
Nebraska plains. They moved In
herds ranging in size from a Tew hun
dred te thousands. Th Indians lit-
rally lived on the- buffalo. The buf
falo's flesh furnished him meat; his
hide robes, wearing apparel and te
pee walls: his horns, hoofs and bones
personal jewelry. Every fall there
was a great hunt when the Indians
took their winter supply of meat and
hides. It was for the possession and
propogation of these herds and the
subsistence they afforded the Indians
made such stubborn and fierce re-
siste nce to the encorchments of the
whites. They foresaw the- departure
of their hunting grounds, with the
and answered every demand for more
territory witli fearful reprisal,.
In a most interesting and impoi .
ant series of letters George Catlin
an eminent artist and writer wh
visited the middle' west in 1532-39
and made a study of Indian tribes,
writes of the buffalo: "The buffalo
: (or more correctly tpeaking bison)
is a noble ar.imal that roams over
I the vast prairies from the borders of
Mexico on the south to the Hudson
Bay on the north. Their flesh, whic h
is easily procured, furnishes the st ages
of these vast regions the means
of wholesome and good subsistence,
anel they live almost exclusively up
on it, converting the skin, horns,
hoofs and bones to the construction
of dress, shields, hows, etc. The buf
falo bull is o!ir ef the most formidable
and frightful looking animals in the
world, when excited to resistance;
his long, shabby mane hangs in great
profusion over his neck and should- I
:. anel often extends quite down
to the ground. The cow is less in
stature, anel less ferocious: though
not much less wild and frightful in
her appearance."
The early settlers also depended
on the buffalo for meat. His skin was
a welc ome contribution to the white's
bed and wagon. As the settlers in
creased and the commercial and
sporting spirit developed the buffalo
-ds underwent a frightful slaugh
er. Buffalo hunts became sporting
e-hases instead of ineat-gathertng ex
peditions. When Edward. Prince of
Wales, visited this country in an
early day. a buffalo hunt was staged
for his pleasure with Buffalo Bill
Cotly in command. Thousands of
buffalo were slaughtered for sport in
such hunts and their carcasses left
on the plains to feed wolves and vul
tures. The millions became thou
sands, the thousands hunelreds, until
at last the great thundering herds
became isolated bands protected by
fences. A few small herds are- privately
owned in Nebraska. W. T. Collins
started with herd of twelve at Bea
ver City and is selline a stmerfluous
! increase. There Is a small herd at
the national game reserve near Val
entine. The bison, like the Indian,
