Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 21, Number 24, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 December 1899 — Buffalo Herd in Europe. [ARTICLE]

Buffalo Herd in Europe.

It is not generally known that there is still living in Europe a large herd of European bison—larger, probably, than the herd of American bison which roams Yellowstone Park. These rare animals are preserved by the Czar of Russia in the imperial forest of Blelovege, in Lithuania, and number something like TOO. Fourteen men have been sent to Siberia within the last three years for the offense of killing scattering animals.
