The Buffalo Hunters

They're right dumb, aren't they, Captain? Buffalo must be the dumbest critters they is. Well, couldn't call them crafty, but they're half blind. Can't see trouble when they're heading right into it. Little tenant's hybrids back from the agency yet?

Well, yes, sir. He brought the wagon, their load and carcasses in it back by the wall. They better get a move on, that middle cook in this heat. Captain, you got the feeling there's something wrong.

Wrong? Well, I've seen engines kill Buffalo before, lots of them. before lots of them, but I never seen them leave this much meat on them. Maybe the agency life is making them lazy, gores. Maybe the bellies are too full.

Now you don't think that, Captain. I sure don't. I'm going to talk to Mr. Saibitz. Oh, uh... are all of them cut this way? I think so. I didn't rightly study them, though. Then study them. All of them. Let me know what you find.

Yes, sir. Have any trouble getting the wagon, Mr. Saibitz? Oh, oh no sir the agency glad no we were bringing me in that seem odd to you Well no sir. I never saw an Indian agency that couldn't use food now that did I Excuse me sir. All right, man. You can move the wagon. I'll pick up the rest of the cocks is just a minute

Yes, sir. I'm gonna take a look at these all the minute. All right, man. Carry on a lot of waste there sir. Yeah Yeah, a lot of waste How about at the agency? About five miles? That's right. You went there, you got the wagon from the agent.
