Auto into the Missouri

Last Wednesday night while return
ing from Fl. Pierre Senator Dalton, Of
Hughes, Hyde and Sully counties, had
the misfortune to run his auto into an
air hole just below the Brandhuber ice
houses. His machine went through
the ice the rear wheels going into
deeper water than the front ones. A
team was secured and the machine
pulled out. 1t is fortunate that the
water was very shallow where the
accident occurred. Nothing particu-
larly serious happened to the machine.
The only surprising thing is that Jack
was going slow enough to hit an air
hole. Had he been going the gait he
was when running for Office he would
have skated across the entire channel.

A Big Band of Antelope

1t is claimed that there is one band
of more than a hundred antelope out in
the Cave Hills section of the state,
which band is just about half domestic
Gated, and being watched by a rancher
to see that nc n takes advantage of
the lack of state protection to get
them. This is the largest known band
in the st ate, but there r numerous
smaller lots scattered about in the
northern and western counties, with a
few yet to be found in the southern
part of the bad lands. While the
antelope have managed to keep in
existence in the state up to the present
they are more numerous than for sew
eral years, presumably being driven
out of Montana by the forest fires last
summer and coming down into Dakota.
