A SNOW IBEx KILLED.
Tho Rare Animal Disposed Gf by An OLD
Trapper In the Owl Mountains.

Trapper In the Owl Mountains.
Lander (wy. IT, Specially
In the Owl mountains is seen at long In
tervals snow or white i5ex. One OF
these rare animals was recently killed by
an old trapper and hunter known as
Shoshone Jack. The snow ibcx attains
the size of the big horn or mountain
sheep, has a coat Of dazzling white, and
Is Of the true ibex breed. IL is both active
and powerful, and when driven to bay Is
most dangerous adversary. Its massive
horns, with their backward sweep of two
feet, are formidable weapons and are for
midably used. Some years since Tom
Anten. then mountain prospector and
hunter, now half owner in the not
ed Bonanza oil spring, Big Horn
Basin, came near losing his life In an
encounter with snow ibex in the Owl
mountains. Tom was in pursuit of a band
OF black-tail deer, when he espied ahead
OF him what he at first took for a moving
snow heap. Soon, however, he saw it was
an animal, and a moment later knew that
It must be the famed mountain rara avis,
a snow ibex. The ibex, an old ram, was
within fair range, aud Anten at once
pulled down upon him. At tho crack Of
the rifle the animal fell in its tracks.
Fastening up to secure the rare prize,
Anten suddenly found himself confronted
by the infuriated animal A most tre.
mendous "but~ sent the hunter flying
into tho air, and when he struck the ground
the ram was on top of him. And now the
heavy, curved horns of the furious
brute were dashed again and again
against the anatomy of the hunter.
Every bone and Joint felt the
fearful punishment. Finally, Anten
succeeded in grasping one of the heavy
horns, and, dragging himself to his knees,
confronted his furious assailant He held
on desperately, and was forced to the
brink of rough and steep mountain
washout. Here Anten succeeded in draw
ing his hu nting knife. He made several
Intellectual passes with this weapon and
the closely clasped foes went down the
washout together. The ibex struck the
bottom underneath, and the keen and
ready blade of the hunter drank deep
OF its lfe-blood. Again and again did
the knife strike home, and the snow ibex
was corpse. When dressed the carcass
weighed one hundred and twenty five
pounds, and the flesh proved excellent
eating. The Owl mountains seem to be
the only Wyoming district in which the
snow ibex is found. There are said TO be
q few In certain localities of the Montana
mountains.
