A Cheyenne friend of [[Dick Toner]].

One winter, Dick Tonar brought an Cheyenne friend of his into the [[Miles and Strevell]] hardware store named "[[Hardy Bear]]", who he said knew of a place with a "fine gold prospect" that Hardy Bear was going to show to Tonar in the spring. Then Hardy Bear wanted to see Strevell's gold fillings (which must have been quite a few).

Later, Hardy Bear told Strevell that he was going 3 "sleeps" away to "much buffalo" and made a train sound. It is possible that he and at least 2 of the Toner brothers were involved in the extermination of the buffalo herds.
