plain and mountain until the mi-iiibers of
the band were safely duli\'i-ri-d on the rc-
si-i'\'ntion in Moiitaiia. This herd consists
of full-blooded and linlf-breed animals. The
latter were products of cross-breeding with
cattle, but they did not prove to he a dc-
sirable animal, having all the undesirable
and none of thc good qualities of either
ancestor. The inongrcls were separated
from the lilnoiied animals, and thc latter
were permitted to range in a wild state
on the reservation. They thrived and the
herd grew until it num cred almost 800.
