"BUFFALO
BY ARTHUR CHAPMAN.
AKESTL-ESs", ken-eyed little maa
pred out of the car window as
he train sped eastward over the
bla-h plains near the Colorado-Kansas
line.
"It's been forty jr-ars since I've seen
these plains." be said, as if speaking
to himself, ""ar.d then they was plum
Tull of Injuns instead of ranches."
The little man was Tom Ranahan.
f Welser, Idaho one of the few re
maining; scouts and Indian fighters. A
saddle companion of Cody. Comstock
and other rrouts. snd later an express
rider and stage driver, bis early years
In the Vsl w-.-re crowded with exclt
"na; experienis. In fact, about one
ysr of "Tom" Ranahan's life In
frontier fiines would have been suf
ficient t. turn an ordinary man's hair
grmy. yt Ihe scout does not look with
in 20 yeara al tiie 70 he confesses,
and the target shows that he seldom
errs even nv when lie looks through
the hind stent of a rifle.
The trouble Is that modern methods
of shooting are all wrong." mused the
scout, with his eyes still on the bare,
brown pie Ins. "To my mind, the true
test of a good shot is accuracy at long
range on new groond. Why. I can
shoot pretty well today over a rifle
range that I am familiar with, but
that don't mean that I'm as good a
shot ss I was forty years ago, when
I could draw a pretty good bead on an
Injun anywhere I saw him at a thous
and yards. long distance shooting was
what most of us mouts trained for in
those days and we never bothered to
shoot over the same range twice. Soma
of the sharpshooters could reckon dis
tance In a way that was amaslng. A
fw of the scouts who wr besieged
with me In General Forsyth's command
at Beecher Island were wonders at
throwing lead at a thousand yards.
Their shooting wss what enabled us
to stand off Roman Nose and hie scrap
pers fr nine day.
Best hliol Forty Years Ago.
The very best shot I ever saw on
the plains was a scout named Nosey."
Nobody ever knew his other name, and
nohodv cared to ask him. for we saw
that Nosey- didn't care to make him
self known, and he was a bad man to
stir lip. N"t that he was loud or vi
rions, but he was one of those quiet
chaps that meant every word that was
said, and nobody cares to stir up that
Kind especially when he holds the
record as a dead shot. "Nosey and
Rill fodv and myself were scouts for
(jenernl t art, after Forsyth's little fuss
with the Injuns on the Arikaree. We
had our work cut out for us. as
Plains was just slopping over with red
skins and bad ones. too. . The savages
hadn't had their lesson yet. and they
- was more than anxious to fight. Then
the soldiers wasn-t any too pleasant
when thev had been dry-camped a day
or two. Put a soldier where he cant
get water to make his coffee and he
gets ugly pretty quick.
"It was under such conditions thst
NnseV helped win a pair of ivory-handled
revolvers for RIH Cody the first ones
of the kind Rill ever had. The guns was
owned bv one of the officers, who hailed
from Kentucky and who had paid a fancy
price for the revolvers back East. Cody
didn't any more n get his eye on those
guns than he wss sick to buy 'em. Th
officer wouldn't sell, but Cody teased till
one day the soldier said:
-Now. I won't sell those guns. Bill,
hut If vou'U break this horse of mine so
I can shoot from his back I'll make you
a present of 'em.'
How Buffalo Bill Famed Two Ke-
rolrers.
i
"Th officer had been riding a thor
oughbred horse that was too nervous for
tho kind of work he was in. Ever time
the officer shot from oft his horse, the
thoroughbred would stampede. Well, his
offer was Jumped at by Cody, and 'Nosey'
ind I agreed to help BUI break the horse.
We'd take turns riding him every day
and when we'd get htm plum tired out.
we'd shoot off his back. We were getting
along fine when ona day we came near
losing out. We were out scouting m
regular formation. Cody on one flank and
me on the other, and "Nosey" In the mid
dle. I never would ride any other wsy
on account of "Nosey' being such a good
shot. With him in the middle he could
protect either one of us In case of a
surprise.
"Well, that day the surprise was sprung
en Rills side. I heard him whanging"
away with his rifle, snd when I rode over
to him he was off his horse shooting at
five Injuns. The Kentucky horse waa
runntn' over the plains like a streak, and
the Injuna takln" after it. They wanted
to get the horse first, and thought they
could come back and get us later. But
they didn't reckon with 'Nosey.' I passed
the little old boy Just as he was gettln" 9ft
his horse to Are. 'Nosey" never would
shoot from a horse. I saw him throw
down his old needle gun. and heard her
speak, and over went an Injun. Then I
heard 'Nusey's' gun again, and a horse
fell with another Injun. The warrior was
sura a brave man. for he picked himself
up and. facln "Nosey" began Jumping up
and down and chanting a war song.
"" Til make you Jump hlgher'n that."
said "Nosey.- and bane; goes his old rifle
sgaln and the redskin fell shot right
through the heart. It was a long shot
and one of the best I ever saw. It took
the hesrt out of "the Injuns to be bowled
over at such distances, and they left off
rhasln" the thoroughbred and ilt out for
safety. We caught the horse before It
S"t back to camp. and. a little later, when
the animal was properly broke, and Cody
'.tad collected his Ivory-handled guns. Mr.
Officer didn't know how close he had
come to lesing out.
'" "Nosey' dli-d. Just as he had lived,
a myterv to the last. Bill Cody, who
has as hig a heart as any man that ever
lived, put tip a monument over his grave
at lignDsln. I think he must have been
disappointed in love In his early years,
but anwe;' he didn't let weepln" spoil his
.-ye. for I doubt if there was ever a
surer shot on the plains.
In a Buffalo killing Match.
"Another rcmarkaMe scout In those
!a was Bill Comstock. He was the
-eatest buffalo hunter of that time.
Bill Cody was running a scraper out
fit on the Kansas-Pacific near KVrt Hays.
He was a good sliot and had killed a
great many buffalo, and a match was
arranged between him and Bill Comstock.
Cody won the choice of ground, and took
the down side of the herd, making Com
stock shoot on the windward side. Now
a buffalo can smell a man eight miles,
and of course Comstock was at a dis
advantage. The buffalo smelted him. and
ran toward Cody. All Cody had to do
was to tie the reinj on his horse's neck.
He had a little horse he called Mazeppa.
and ahe would ride rtrht up to a buffalo
and bite It. squealing like fury all the
time. Bill Just let her have her own
way. while he pumped the lead Into buf
falo carcasses. At that he only beat Com
atock by four buffalo when the results
of ths days shoot were figured up. Com
stock waa part Indian, and was a pretty
bad man to stir up. He killed a man

newspaper correspondent had been elected
Justice of the Peace at Fort Hays, just as
a joke. He was roaring drunk most of
the time, an! was a little more so when
Comstock was brought in. He had Bill
tell his story, and then. Defore anybody
else could testify, said:
" "You are discharged, Mr. Comstock.
for lack of evidence."
"'A little while after that Comstock
was found out on the plains, all the flesh
having been stripped from his body by
coyotes. He was out trying to locate a
body of Indians, and had been shot down
from ambush.'
Besides his experiences as a scout. Mr.
Ranahan met many exciting adventures
as a pony-express rider and stage -driver.
He was one of the most daring of the
pony riders in fact "Irish Tommy," as
he was known, set such a fast pace In
the saddle that he soon began to bleed at
the lungs, an ailment that affected
nearly every pony express rider sooner
or later. Then he took up sta-re-driving
on the overland stage line, and held the
ribbons over the magnificent six-horse
teams on the Holla-lay route 'until the
completion of ttw first .trans-continental
railroad threw the stage-drivers on a cold
world, with their occupation gone.
Eventually he drifted to sunny Idaho,
and now he is a prosperous fruit-raiser,

WILL RAGE IN ENGLAND
WHITNEY AM " BELMONT TO
HAVE JOINT STABLE ABROAh.
Horses of Each Will Run I'ndcr
Owners of Colors, but Will Be
Handled Together.
With A. J. Joyner as trainer of the
combination stable. Harry Payne Whit
ney and August Belmont will race in
England next season, the horses of
each In the colors of the owner, though
they will be trained together, says the
New Tork Times.
Both turfmen are now -abroad, but
Mr. Whitney Is expected to return
within a very short time, and the ar
rangements for the shipping of the
Whitney horses then will be made.
Trainer Joyner is to go with the Whitney
horses, and on his arrival In England
will take over the Belmont horses now
In training there. It will be Mr. Whit
ney's first venture Into English raciing,
though his father, the late William C
Whitney, raced some horses in Eng
land In 1901. and won the Derby with
the leased English horse Volodyovs"-"-
The Belmont stable In England now
Is about the largest and strongest that
he ever has had there, and with his
horses and the Whitney horses to be
sent abroad will give Trainer Joyner
a formidable establishment to manage.
In preparation for the plan of racing
in England. Mr. Whitney yesterday
bought the highest-priced yearling
sold this season. Joyner. as agen. for
Mr. Whitney, paying 110.700 for the
Meddler-Homespun colt Newcastle at
the offering of Billot C. Cowdin s Maple
hurst yearlings. The purchase was the
chief event of the sale, the trainer se
curing the colt after competition, in
which James R. Keene. John K. Madden,
and J. E. Widener figured. The colt is
a brother In blood to Tanya, one of the
sensational fillies of 1904. when, be
cause of the death of William C. Whit
ney, the Whitney horses raced In the
name and colors of H. I. Puryea.
In the plan for the combination sta
ble there will he nothing in the na
ture of a partnership between Messrs.
Whitney and Belmont, as Joyner will
handle the horses aa he did tho.-e of
his public stable before he was retained
by Mr. Whitney as trainer last Spring,
following the death of John W. Rogers.
Though nothing definite of the sta
ble's plans is known yet. It was said
yesterday that . the Whitney portion
of the combination stable will be
made up exclusively of young horses,
except the one bought yesterday, prac
tically all of them yearlings now.whlch
may be entered In all the great stakes
for two-year-olds In 190 and three-year-olds
of 1910.
The Whitney stable now in training
here numbers about forty head. As
none of them Is engaged, or can well
be 'engaged, in the Important Knglish
stakes. It is unlikely that many, if any.
will be taken abroad to race for the
modeat prises for which they are eli
gible, and whether ilr. Whitney will
sell out his American establishment
and retire from racing here or will
keep up two establishments and secure
another trainer. Is not yet known.
The announcement of Mr. Whitney's
Intention to try rsclng in England at
tracted quite a lot of attention to the
plans and movements of other Ameri
can horsemen who are looking abroad.
chief among whom just at this time la
John E. Madden, who yesterday earned
the distinction of beatlnig the hitherto
unbeaten Keeno filly Maskette with Sir
Martin in the race for the Flatbush
stakes. Sir Martin and Fayette are
engaged in the English Derby and in
a number of other important English
stakes for next year, and Madden de
clared some time ago that he intended
to send the colts to England for next
season's racing. Yesterday, he said
that he would not start either of the
colts again in America, but would com
plete preparations for the shipment of
both colts and the filly Iady Bedford,
whfl-h also Is well engaged abroad,
within the next two weeks.
Aside from the American horses that
may be sent to Kngland to race In the
colors of American owners, another im
portant shipment was made yesterday
when on the Atlantic Transport Line
steamer Minnetonka J. B. Haggin sent
away M yearlings from the Elmendorf
Stud, in Kentucky, and the old stallions
Sombrero. Salury, Del Paso and Ben
doran. It is Intended that the horses
shall go to Newmarket for the late Sep
tember sales Immediately after their ar
rival. Sombrero, it is planned, will be put In
training for steeplechasing, as he is of
the blood of Ruhio. winner of the Liver
pool Grand National Steeplechase last
Spring, and Del Paso, it is thought, will
find a market in England, as he is a
horse of great size and already has sired
horses that have been successful in cross
country racing.
S A RACE ON ONE LEG
EXCITING ACHIEVEMENT OF MR.
"STUMPER" JONES.
Crippled Sprinter Goes Over Course
In Series of Gigantic Hops
and Triumphs.
Shrewd and slisrp as the old-time pro
fessional runners had to be in the pur
suit of their occupation, there is many an
instance of when they overstepped the
mark and w-ere the victims of the schemes
they themselves had laid for the undoing
of the betting public, writes John J.
Brady, in the Chicago Tribune.
The manner in which wooden-legged
Jones, surnamed "Stumper." unset the
calculations of Jim Quirk some time since
In a littlo north Michigan lumber camp
was one of the choicest stories Quirk
used to tell when he had retired from the
(Mine and had taken up his residence In
Brantford. Ont-. the town in which he
lived at the time of his death.
H was back in the ' when the day of
the professional sprinter was at its senith.
Quirk at the time waa as good as any
in the country, his record for the o yards
still- stands, and he was out after the
coin as often as he could get it. and. It
must be said, with as little regard for
the manner of the getting as had any of
the others.
After a long pilgrimage through West
ern Ontario, in which he and Billy Boyd
pretty well cleaned up everything in
sisht. Quirk found himself at the Jump
ing off place of Canada Sarnia and
there was nothing to it but a continuation
of bis course through Michigan.
The southern part of the state hsd
been thoroughly canvassed by other run
ners, but in spite of thin Quirk never
would have wandered up into the wood
country If It had not been for a lumber- J
man. who was returning to these parts
after a visit to friends in Canada. This
chap, who was a foreman in one of the
numerous camps in the Wolverine state,
conceived the Idea of taking Quirk: along
with him for the purpose of picking up a
little easy money on the side. Jim fell in
with the idea from the start and went
along to timber land with hia new-found
friend.
For Quirk it was an ill adventure from
beginning to end. After a tedious ride
through burnt and burning forests of
stumps they arrived at the banks of the
Grayling River. There they took a stage
up the river to a slab-shingled, slab
sided, slab-sidewalked. makeshift village,
which was because of the lumber trade,
and which wasn't Just as soon as the
mills which gave it life were moved away.
The population of the place consisted
only of those connected with the mills,
the saloons, and the few stores which
were run In opposition to those of the
companies. L"nlike the agricultural por
tions of the country, where the people as
a rule are In better circumstances and
more likely to be Interested in sports,
the population of Slabville had no interest
in anything but work. There was no
time and no money for anything else.
Quirk was disgusted with the outlook,
when hie lumberman friend said bo had
known this all along.
"We will have to stir up something
ourselves,-said he. "Well, stir ahead."
said Jim., "and you would better set
busy soon, for it is a long walk back to
civilization."
For several days Quirk continued his
daily training for any race that might
be arranged, and still there was nothing
doing. Finally the foreman, who had
caused him to make the trip to the woods,
came around and told him that It ' had
been utterly Impossible to arrange a
match for anything worth while, and he
advised Quirk to write to his friends for
money with which to leave the place.
This was a tough blow to Quirk, and he
raised a fierce howl, winding up by en
deavoring to knock the lumberman's
head off with a hickory clubwhich was
lying near.
The settlement of the quarrel let the
bystanders in on the trouble of the
sprinter. Jim told them how he had been
Inveigled into coming to the north coun
try by his late opponent for the purpose
of-cleaning up any of the runners who
might be in those parts. It was at this
stage of the proceedings that "Stumper
Jones introduced himself with the offer
of a match for the stranger sprinter..
Said Jones: "So you were sure you
could trim any man In these parus in a
footrace, were you? By how much do
you think you can beat me in a hundred?"
Quirk looked over his man and thought
he was joking. "Stumper" Jones had a
wooden leg or rather his secondary
means of locomotion was a wooden stump,
his left leg being cut off at the knee. The
right leg, however, was out of all pro
portion to the man's body, and looked
more like a full-sized continuation than
one of the branches at the bifurcation of
the trunk. Indeed, "Stumper" Jones' one
leg was as strong as an ordinary man's
two, and it was on reoord that few In the
village could outllft him.
Jones had been troubled with hip dis
ease when a youth, and his left leg had
dwindled away until it was useless to
him. the result being that his right de
veloped abnormally. When still a lad
he had been run over by a large sleigh
and the weakened member so badly man
gled that It was found necessary to have
It amputated, which wao looked upon by
the boy more as a blessing than a mis
fortune, for said he: "Now It will be out
of my way." He never used crutches for
hl ordinary meanderlngs about' his home,
and often had been known to hop along
for great distances at good speed.
Quirk certainly was surprised to receive
a challenge from a man with a single leg,
and to his question he stated that he
thought he could beat the human toad,
even if he gave the latter a 50-yard handi
cap. , ; -
"Gimme 70 yards and I will run you for
all the money you can get." said Jones.
"Done." said Jim, and the race was
immediately arranged. It was to take
place the next day on the main and only
street of Slabville. and In plain view of
the whole population of the community.
Quirk gathered up all his money, which
he carried.
"Stumper" was there with the backing,
though, and covered all the money Quirk
could put up. besides taking all that any
one etes had to offer.
There were no preliminaries to the busi
ness in hand. The time chosen for the
contest was at 7 o'clock In the evening,
when everyone could be out to see. A
collection was taken up from the crowd
and a few more dollars added to the purse
to go to the winning runner, and then the
two men went to the scratch.
Jones' 70-yard handicap was measured
off and he was sent up to the mark while
Quirk got ready at the scratch. The
"Stumper" was denied the use of crutches
and appeared on the course in his ordi
nary street wear, but with his coat oft
and" barefoot, with the trousers leg rolled
up above his' knee and exposing the mar
velous development of his one leg. Quirk
was attired In his usual running togs and
certainly was a contrast to his unusual
opponent.
At the crack of the pistol they were
away. Jim ran his usual good race, but
he never had a chance. "Stumper" Jones
went over hte 30 yards in a series of gi
gantic hops in the manner of the ancient
dinosaurus, and broke the tape before
Quirk was anywhere near.
Jim was so surprised at the agility
shown by his strange opponent that he
forgot to finish the race after once he
saw how the human toad got over the
ground.
Quirk lost no time getting out of that
country. His watch went the same way
as his diamond ring and he secured,
enough on it to buy a railroad ticket to
Detroit, where he found friends to help
him out of his temporary difficulty. Quirk
always used to say that he really be
lieved that Jones, could have beaten him
had he given him the 50 yards handicap
that at first he proposed. '
HOTEL FOR CHORUS GIRLS
Ambitious Scheme Talked of in
Kansas City.
. Kansas City Journal.
Chorus girls are to have a hotel in
Kansas City which will be used ex
clusively for show girls, if the plans
of Miss Ethel Dovey do not go amiss.
Preparations to establish such quarters
are being made by a real estate agent,
who- waa commissioned by Miss Dovey
to keep her in touch with available
pieces of real estate tnai wouia d
suitable for a chorus girls' hotel.
The story leaked out last evening
when it was learned that Miss Dovey
was negotiating for a site, and It was
eald that immediately upon the arrivel
of "A Stubborn Cinderella" company.
In which she is showing, that she
would endeavor to close a deal with her
agent. She is a Kansas City girU and
several months ago, at a meeting of a
crowd of show girls, she promised them
that she would do her best to establish
a hotel similar to those In New York and
Chicago.
Miss Dovey- has succeeded in interest
ing George Dovey. president of the Na
tional League baseball club of Boston,
and he promised to help her In further
ing the project. It is said that he has
pledged JIO.OOO to the fund being raised
to estabulsh the hotel.
In certain respects the hotel - will be
conducted on the plan of the Martha
Washington In New York. While the
rules and regulations of the hotel are
not known at this time. It Is. said that
the "stage-door Johnnies" will not be
welcome. Sad. but true, there is some
doubt as to whether they will even be
admitted to the hotel at any time. The
girls will b raauiiwd ta fas at taoma

within a reasonable time after the close
of the performance. If mere man should
want to see one of the girls he would
have to telephone, or use Uncle Sam's
mail system.
Expenses of running the hotel will be
divided pro rata each week when a
traveling show appears in Kansas City.
The hotel Is to be at the disposal -of
every traveling company, even Including
the burlesque. The gentle sex will have
the exclusive use of the new quarters,
and will, therefore, be better provided
for than they are at present.
The hotel is to be called the "Erthel

STONE-CARRIERS IN INDIA
Strong Laborers With Whom Ma
chinery Cannot Compete.
Scientific American.
Recently an Interesting water-impounding
scheme has been carried to
successful completion in Southern India
at the Marl-Kanave Gorge up the Veda
rati River, in Mysore State.
When constructional work was in
full swing, more than 6000 natives were
employed, and the undertaking offered
a novel and interesting example of the
cheapness of - manual labor as com
pared with mechanical appliances.
In India there exists a class of labor
ers generally described as "nowgun
nies," or professional stonecarriers,
who, owing to their capacity for hard
work, are in great demand for such en
terprises as this. They are of power
ful physique and possess considerable
stamina. They will work for 10 hours
a day and transport from "0 to 150
pounds of stone a man. They form
gangs according to the character of the
work In hand, ranging from 2, 4, 8, 12
to 16 men a unit.
Although such transportation seems
somewhat slow In comparison with the
possibilities of handling plants, yet
they prosecute their task very energet
ically, and the scale of pay, ranging
from 10 to 16 cents a man a day, is so
low as to render such labor far cheap
er than mechanical transport. Indeed,
a complete installation of the latter
was laid down, a cable being stretched
across the gorge over the site, bringing
the stone direct from the quarries on
the hillsides to the site ready for set
ting, - but this had to be. abandoned
owing to Its being far more expensive
than the "nowgunny" labor.
These men carried the masonry from
the end of the railroad track connect
ing the site of the barrage with the
quarries to its destination and placed
it in position.

An Egg Within an Kgg.
Kansas City Journal.
People have heard of cats caring for
chickens, apples growing on lilac
bushes and other freaks of animal and
plant life, but Fort Scott has a better
one. When Dominec Fillzola, a res
taurant keeper in that town, began
cracking a half dozen eggs with which
to make an omelet he picked up one
egg which seemed to him unusual. He
broke the shell and found another egg
Inside, shell, yoke, white and all. Both
eggs were well formed and had their
regular ingredients. Things were
somewhat crowded and congested. ( A
double yolk Is not uncommon, but one
egg inside of another, shell and all.
was enough to cause Dominec to put
the freak on displcay. Poultry men say
they have never seen anything like it
before.
