THE BRANDED BUFFALO
Toli many years the Valleys at the
foot of the great mountains were
considered the home of ihe Qeslotwn,
find even the bravest did not venture j
far from the shadow of the Great j
White mountain where dweit the Mim
ltou. To the east were groat plains, i
barren and dry, anil these were in
fested by savage tribes, who fought !
nnd battled to the death.
To the south was an unexplored i
land, according to story one of the rich- I
est hinds in the world, hut Infested
with wild beasts and great monsters. I
And, so the fathers said, the southern
lands were the home of great gods,
who made their home In the "Twin
Peaks" nnd who would not permit
strangers to use their hunting grounds
or fish In their streams.
But when the white men came the
valley became quickly filled nnd the
buffulo were killed and the antelope
disappeared, and we who were the
Gosiutes could not find meat to eat
or grain on which to live.
So the oldest chiefs held a council
and the pipe's were lighted and grave
Words were spoken and the medicine
men brewed their herbs for a great
decision. And finally It was decide'

In
nni.'nr to MMlltoU, we stniten on our
bunt nnd by noon we found the herd
it'll the warriors on their ponies trhve
tflftpe and many buffalo were killed.
And tlie warriors rejoiced to see so
mtlch meat and everyone was happy.
Hut when we came to skin the huf
rain strange things happened. Fn
every one of the beasts carried n
irimd, stamped on the shoulder, and
all tlie brands were alike, and they
were strange In character, and there
Has no one who could read them or
knew the meaning.
Tlie leaders were frightened and no
one knew what to do. And even the
medicine men and the wisest chiefs
were unable to read the strange brand
r tell who placed them there, for
there' were no white RlPtl in the land,
and no tribe that ust i a brand, nnd
besides no one bad ever before seen a
nuffaln that was branded.
Ami the warriors wine much afraid,
mil they said that It w is the mark of
ihe strange gods who dwelt on the
Twin I'eaks. and that the buffalo be
longed to them and thai no one dared
put of their meat, else trouble would
rarely come.
So the party returned home, nnd the
buffalo were left behind. Even to this
lay the secret uf the branded buffalo
s Unknown, and no other wnrrlors
iver have hMn them except us and no
II P G spiles. Today lit IgOaCtO. where
ill th old men live, the story of the
branded buffalo Is told about the camp
ITS, and the old men shake their head
"or there Is no one who knows ho.

us of its strange characters
But- they were branded, for 1 saw
