four young antelope, which he cap

Prall left Spokane for Oregon in
search Of the antelope, on behalf of
the city of Spokane, which agreed to
purchase two pair of them.
After arriving on the desert Prall
consumed two weeks in catching the
animals. In chasing one of them he
ran down three horses and then had
to rope" the little fellow at a dis
lance of 40 feet.
The animals were first sighted near
Guena creek. Arrangements for their
purchase will be consummated by the
city officials this afternoon. All four

THE proposition of the railroad

company wants a grade Of that kind
within one block of it's station.
This railroad also proposed to con-
struot a bridge across Hangman S
creek and straighten its lin through
the city. Any councilman who would
sign a petition like that would be a
