Indian Method of Hunting Antelope.
• The Maudau Pioneer relates a curi
ous occurrence. It says that antelope
are more numerous this fall than ever
before known along the Missouri di
vision of the Northern Pacific. Herds
of from 50 to 150 are seen daily along
the track in the Curlew valley and in
the vicinity of Knife river and other
points west from there. On Monday
Captain Wrenshall, Superintendent
Green and Road master Ray. in the
special car Crow Wing, attached to
freight train No. 15. witnessed a nov
el and successful mode of hunting an
telope. As the train pulled into
South Hear«, four antelope surrounded
and corralled by bears in a small valley
near the track were discovered. The
engineer slowed up the train a little
and Capt Wrenshall got out his Win
chester and took a shot at one of the
bears. The motion of the train mar
red his aim and the bullet missed its
mark. And luckily so, for that in
stant up rose the supposed bear, and
shaking off a blanket revealed an In
dian. The other bears showed up in
like manlier. The Indians, by getting
upon all fours and fixing up their
brown blankets into a resemblance of
ears, nose, tail and legs, made them
selves a close conterfeit of cinnamon
bears, which struck panic into the
hearts of the foolish antelope and
placed them in such position that
they were about to fall an easy prey
tn their real assailants—the Indians.
Having discovered his mistake Capt.
Wrenshall began shooting at the an
telope and killed several.
An ambitious boy of Brighton, Mass.,
went into a pasture and tried to imitate
Buffalo Bill by lassoing a cow. One of

threw the loop over the cow's horns. The

ces and stone walls, dragging the lad af
ter her. Fortunately the rope broke, and
he was released from his perilous position.
Taken up insensible, lie was found to
.have several ribs broken and to l>e fataliy
injured.
