Killed by Buffalo.
[Yellowstone Journal.]
Geo. W Dillon was in from his hunting camp on the Red Water, this week and reports the death of an unknown man on Elk Prairie Creek. The dead man was fortunately and singularly found by another hunter, who had heard a noise near by and upon going over a hill discovered a wounded buffalo bull goring the dying man. He fired and brought down the infuriated animal with three shots. Upon approaching the prostrate man he found him to be dying, his intestines having been gored out and his head laid open. Who the dead man was our informant was at a loss to say, only knowing that he was hunting in the region.

A Mean Joke. A. V. Schallern, who is operating a steam threshing machine up north, came down Saturday night with a rig, and awaited the coming of the ferry car to take it over to Mandan. He hitched the horse near the ferry station and came uptown. When he returned horse and buggy were missing. He notified the police and after searching for the lost animal the quest was given up. Afterward Mr. Schallern found that the ferry car had stopped, the railroad men had loaded on the horse and buggy and taken them to Mandan, and Schallern thinks it a mean joke.

Picture Wanted—Last fall a number of pictures were taken of the
steam ditcher and gangs of men employed on the sewer work. Among the diggers was a man named Gottleib Delzer, a recent arrival in this country. Delzer died last winter. He never had a picture taken of himself, but some of the pictures taken of the diggers showed him at work. It is one of these pictures his family would very much like to secure and through the Tribune they ask if those who took the pictures mentioned above will leave copies at this office so that an enlargement might be made of the father, as a family keepsake. The oldest son, who at the time of his father's death, and who is the mainstay of the family, was near to death with typhoid fever and feels deep regret that he could not have been with his parent at the last, therefore it would seem that a kindly heart would prompt those amateurs who have pictures of the trench diggers to leave the copies as desired so that the son could look them over in search of that one which shows his father. He is willing to pay for the picture and the trouble.

Scattered the Spuds.
Thursday evening while John Atkinson was unloading potatoes from his wagon in front of the new department store, his team became frightened at a passing automobile and ran as far as the west end crossing when they were stopped. Fortunately no one was injured. About twenty bushels of potatoes were scattered along the street.
