A writer once got into hot corner while
hunting antelope. He was out with the
Seventh cavalry-Custer's regiment-fol-
lowing a trail which took short cut
across one of the big bends of the Mis-
souri,, the neck Of which was not more
than a mile wide.
The scouts and Indians were skirting
the river two miles to the right. Sudden
ly several shots we're heard in that diFec-
ton, and herd of seven or eight hundred
antelope was seen sweeping over the prai-
RE. The cavalry with the wagon train
spanned the narrow neck from side to side,
so that the antelope found themselves in a
cul de sac, from which there was no es-
cape.
The writer, being midway between the
column and the scouts, had full view OF
the fleeing herd as it charged two or
three hundred yards past him. Seeing
several stragglers he dismOunted, picketed
his horse and killed two or three.
He was beginning to enjoy this battue
shooting, when "A volley of bullets came
whizzing by. Instantly he dropped on the
ground. He was between two fires, the
scouts firing as they advanced from the
river and the soldiers pelting away as they
! closed in from the neck. The bullets, be

Mr.. nrokmeyer Cut II Short.

When Lieutenant Governor Norman j.
Colman was about to close his career as
president of the state senate he deemed it
an appropriate occasion on which to define
his political platform and to discuss the
theories of government. He arose to speak
at 11:3O O'Clock. His successor, the Hon.
II. G. Brokmeyer. occupied an anteroom,
ready to be inaugurated when summoned
by the senate. He was also primed with a
speech that was to be the effort of his life.
Governor Coiman had Just finished his
thanks" at HAS o'clock. At noon he was
saying, "And, in the second place, fellow
citizens" Mr.. Brokmeyer grew more and
more nervous He paced up and down the
narrow confines Of the anteroom, and sent
out messengers TO ascertain when Mr.. Col
man would quit. At l2:1h o'clock Mr.. Col
man was beginning to classify his subject
into subdivisions, and at 1890 he had
plunged into the tariff with all the enthu-
siasm of his ardent democratic nature.
Mr.. Brokmeyer was furious. His oppor-
tunity was gone, and his remarks were I'M
fit for publication. At l2;45 Mr.. Colman
closed, with an eloquent peroration, and
then sent committee to escort Mr.. Brok-
meyer to the senate chamber. Mr.. Col
mans face was wreathed in smiles as he
introduced "the lieutenant governor of
Missouri" but the lieutenant governor
wore savage look which boded no good.
After the brief ceremonies of swearing In,
Mr.. Brokmeyer frowned at Mr.. Colman,
glared at his audience, and said sharply:
Senators, hope to have the forbear-
ance and assistance of this distinguished
body la the administration OF its affairs.
The senate will stand adjourned until to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock"
