THURSDAY, JULY 3, 2003

The Confederated Umatilla Tribes of Oregon have rounded up a bison herd that was set loose on the reservation.

Tribal officials used a elk trap and an old buffalo hide to capture the 32 animals. The tribe is trying to decide what to do with the herd.

The herd was released by a rancher who was allegedly violating tribal environmental law. The rancher has since disappeared.
