BRIDGE NEAR HEADQUARTERS OFFICE. ENTRANCE TO THE WIND CAVE IS ABOUT FIFTY 
FEET BELOW THIS POINT 
tically without a hitch in our arrangements or the 
slightest injury of any kind to man or beast. Return- 
ing to Hot Springs at that hour was out of the question 
for the teams, so they were made comfortable in the 
large barn at the range, and we set out on foot for the 
headquarters, about two miles distance, reaching there 
at midnight. As the cook could get no information 
about our coming in advance there was a short wait 
followed by a midnight supper that will not be soon 
forgotten by those present. Against my vigorous pro- 
test Mr. Dille gave up his bed to me and, making Mr. 
Rush and myself at home in the headquarters’ office, 
took his blankets and camped in the barn. The next 
morning Mr. Rush and I set out for the range to see 
how the bison were taking their liberty and to get a 
few photographs. We found the animals grazing con- 
tentedly on the open range, and showing no signs of 
their recent unpleasant experiences.
