The chief game warden of Montana State has forbidden the buffalo hunt at Flathead Reservation to take place.
The private car was to leave Edmonton today, but on account of the hitch in the arrangements, the time of starting has been postponed. The car, slated for the hunters, will, in all probability, leave Edmonton during the early part of the coming week, when full arrangements are expected to be concluded. Legal advice, concerning the order of the game warden, is being obtained and there is hardly any doubt but that the hunt will take place soon.
Mayor Pawling and M. L. Forster were intending to start for Pablo’s ranch yesterday, but on receipt of the above information from Howard Douglas, will be delayed in starting for the Reservation.
The Americans have been sore since the buffalo deal was put through and now that they are barred from partaking in the last buffalo hunt on the continent, they are annoyed at the idea of Canadians being favoured only.
