THREE ANTELOPE AT A SHOT
Michigan Hunter Tells of Re.
marknbIe Exploit in
Montana

One of the most remarkable shots
ever reported was made by the late
DR.. J. b. WEIGH, Of Hudson, Mich.
WEIGH was hunting antelope in Mon
tana and was surprised one morning
10 see a herd of the animals appear
upon a ridge some 400 yards from
camp. WEIGH ran to the top of the
rance & saw that after going a
r '1 ace directly from the camp
t.e %ote.ope had turned and were
running so that their broadside was
exposed. They were nearly a quarter
of mile away and Welch did not ex-
pect to hit when he opened on them
with his high-power rifle.
His establishment may therefore be
imagined, says the New York Times,
when on seeing one drop and going to
the spot, he found three dead ante
Iope each shot through the head. The
three had been running side by side.
and one bullet had potted the trio.
