ELK PERISH
STORMS or THE PAST WINTER
KILL THOUSANDS.

Custer. April 30.-An investiga-
ton made by agents of the federal
government has revealed that hun
dreds of elk in different parts of the
west died as the result OF the severe
winter and from the effects of the
billiards. which on two or three oe-
easions early this year swept over
some of the states of the northwest.
The heaviest losses of any one To-
cality occurred in Yellowstone ma
ltional park. where the federal agents
found the bodies of elk in nearly ev-
cry canyon and other nj of the way
places. A count of the dead elk was
made by the government agents, as
sisted by scouts, and revealed APP
proximately 200 dead elk.
The number. though large, is not
considered startling inasmuch as the
past winter was the most severe ever
experienced in the national park. 1t
is estimated that in all there are
about 80, 0 head of living elk yet
in the park. i

lakes dot the landscape as far as one

brought ducks and other fowls in
great numbers. and along the Mis-

brown with them. During the night
last week, just preceding a big rain
storm, the air was so filled with the
sounds of hundreds, probably thou
sands of ducks, etc, passing north
that the residents of the town were
awakened by the bird noises. They
could not be detected, of course, in
the dark, other than with the quack-
ing and honking and chirping. but
the sounds were as plain and as vol
luminous as though the tree tops
everywhere were full of singing
birds.
