FRANK MERTON BUCKLAND 
One of the freshest, most delightful collections of outdoor verse offered for 
many a day. They are the outpourings of a spirit which loves nature, the woods 
and streams and growing things, and appreciates its charms. 
Mr. Buckland’s verse has a charm that is at once rare and delightful. This 
book will appeal to every outdoor man or woman, and particularly to the "Brethren 
• of the Angle.” 
Its form is as attractive as its pages, closely simulating the appearance of the 
standard fly-book, printed on heavy laid paper with ornamental border designs of 
trout flies, pocket for clippings, and blank pages for copying or individual com¬ 
position. It is just the thing for the den, for the pocket, or for a gift to the friend 
who loves the big world out of doors.

had resulted in the slaughter of a timid porcu¬ 
pine in hiding among the rocks; and now, when 
no one was expecting his appearance, and when 
his very existence was for the time forgotten, 
he had nearly run into my arms. Hurrying back 
to camp I told my tale, and the ladies instantly 
decided that they must see the dead bear. As 
the twilight lingers long in this high latitude, we 
had abundant time to view him before darkness 
came on, and one of the party, a Texan of ex¬ 
perience in California, where he had assisted in 
the killing of several grizzlies, pronounced him, 
a probable three-year-o'd, and a really fine speci¬ 
men. He was very thin in flesh, although in 
good coat for this time of the year.

THE OUTLAW BUFFALO. 
A dispatch to the Edmonton Bulletin dated 
Missoula, Nov. 19, gives another side of the- 
story as to the outlaw Montana buffalo. It 
says: 
In Missoula to-day there is to be a confer¬ 
ence between State Game Warden Henry Avare, 
of Helena; Michel Pablo, of the Flathead 
reservation, once the “buffalo king” of the 
world, and Howard Douglas, Commissioner 
of Parks in the Dominion of Canada, the out¬ 
come of which will be watched with great in¬ 
terest by those who have become interested in 
the proposed buffalo hunt which was to have 
taken place on the reservation at about this 
time, the plans having been cut into by warn¬ 
ing to desist from the State Game Warden. 
Howard Douglas has been in Missoula several 
days and Michel Pablo arrived late last eve¬ 
ning. Mr. Avare is to come over from Helena 
on the first train to-day and the conference will 
probably be held some time this afternoon or 
evening. 
Some days ago there was much talk started 
throughout the State over the report circulated 
that Howard Douglas had sent out word that 
he was bringing a crowd of hunters from Can¬ 
ada to proceed to the reservation and make 
merry with the others of the Pablo herd that 
have up to date defied all attempts to round¬ 
up and ship them from their old stamping 
grounds. 
This story grew to considerable proportions 
until it came to the attention of the State Game 
Warden and under considerable pressure that 
was brought to bear in the matter. Warden 
Avare notified Deputy Warden McCormick of 
this city to stop the proposed hunt. Mr. Mc¬ 
Cormick went at once to the reservation and 
served such notice on the owner of the herd, 
Michel Pablo. It was then that the true facts 
in the case became known. Mr. Pablo assuring 
the warden that his object in allowing the hunt 
was simply for the purpose of killing off a few 
of the outlaw bulls which could not be corralled 
and which led the rest of the animals into the 
wilds. He urged that these animals should be 
killed, now that the reservation is being settled, 
for they were mean and fierce and promised to 
do serious damage to man and domestic stock. 
He stated that this was his only object in in¬ 
viting Mr. Douglas and some of his friends from 
Canada, as well as a number in Montana, to 
join in the hunt. Since Mr. Pablo expressed 
these sentiments it has been proven that he 
was correct, for only a few days ago a big 
bull buffalo attacked a settler on his claim, 
chased him into his cabin and bunted his shack 
around off of its underpinnings. It was also 
reported last evening that another settler had 
been attacked while on his claim near Dayton 
and was compelled to shoot the buffalo in self- 
defense. 
In speaking of his intentions in the matter, 
and of his interests in the proposed hunt, How¬ 
ard Douglas said last night: 
“I am very sorry that this matter has been 
so much garbled and overdrawn. I understand 
that Mr. Pablo has explained his invitation to 
me and a party of friends who were interested 
in coming down to see the country and enjoy
