Morgan and other towns in eastern
Colorado are to the effect that the
herd Of antelope which have lived in
that vicinity for the past eighteen
years is again suffering as result OF
the cold weather and that the animals
are jumping fences and eating hay
stacks belonging to the farmers. It IS
an offense punishable by fine to shoot
an antelope and the farmers are ap-
peaiing to the state board OF stock in
spection commissioners for help.
A ranchman named Brown. living
10 miles east of F't. Morgan today ap-
pealed to the board stating that the
herd had already devoured one stack
of hay and he wanted to know what to
do. The matter was referred to the
game and fish department and Deputy
James Harris was sent to Ft. Morgan
to take charge of feeding the animais
until the present cold snap is over.
During the last two years the state
expended over $500 IN feeding these
animals. which was allowed by the
last assembly. The game and fish de-
partment win continue to feed them
until the SHOWS are gone and they
can rustic for themselves.

dents that has taken place here in a
long time occurred in the lower yards

hurt, is little short of the miraculous.
East bound passenger train No. 4.
due here from Ogden between five and
six o'clock last night, was seven or
eight hours late in consequence of the
pulling out of drawhead In making
the grade over Soldiers Summit in
Utah. and to that fact is attributed
the trouble. although its direct cause
was a mistake in throwing switch
for a freight engine No. n49, 1T
Thirteenth street.
The freight engine had pulled its
load from the main line into one Of
the side tracks to await the arrival OF
the passenger train and had gone
around to the end of the train and
was backing up the track when No.
