ANTELOPE DESTROY
WHEAT FIELD AND Gov
ERNOR IS APPEALED TO

Denver, Dec. 9.-Frank Palmer, a
farmer living eighteen miles south of
FIT. Morgan, today protested to Gov
ernor Shafroth against the states an
telope destroying his wheat field. He
told the governor to come out and
get his antelope and take them home.
Mr.. Palmer has 100 acres of wheat
or rather he did have it until last
Monday, when a herd of 125 antelope
made him a visit. Mr.. Palmer states
that the herd insisted on visiting in
that wheat field. He drove them out
four or five times, and they would
be back to it before he got to the
house. He says that his field of wheat
is entirely destroyed. There is a
law which prevents the farmer from
killing the antelope. He has present.
ed a claim to the game and fish de-
partment and will present an item
lied bill for damages a little later.
At present the state has no means
with which to pay damages of this
kind although its officials admit that
it is liable to them.
