ANT{l0PES THRIVE
IN PUEBLO COUNTY

Four antelope. two bucks and two
does, We're sighted about ten miles
west of Pueblo grazing on the prairie
near Ltvesy. Wednesday afternoon by
Forest Supervisor A. G. Hamel and
Deputy S. +. Doering as they motored
to Wetmore.
The prairie is the home OF the ante
lore, and in years gone by, they grazed
by the hundreds where civilization
now reigns. The farmers fenced the
prairie. claimed it as their homes,
cultivated it and forced the animals
to move. This procedure has been
soirg on until now the territory adjac
eEt to Pueblo is practically without
antelope. AS the prairie was settled.
they were forced higher into the hills
until they made their home in the
mountains, but living in the mountains
was not intended for them, and they
could not successfully fight their
mountain problems. Tho animals dis
liked them, and hunters found Joy in
killing them.
The law now provides that no ante
lcpe shall be killed. as there is no open
season. A fine of not less than 800
for each animal is provided In the
law, and the fine may be more IL the
evidence presented warrants. The for
est rangers watch the antelope es-
pecially, and anyone who is caught
killing them is dealt with to the extent
of the law. Unless protection is 3f
forded the few antelope that are left,
the animals will be extinct in this ter
ritory.
