A partd went out from that town one day and returped in two hours with seventeen, whicli was all they wantod, but they could have killed many more. Another party went from Bryan and bagged thirty-six before they got tired of the sport, and were glutted with meat. So it is all along the road, from Laramie to Carter, üld railroad men say lli.it the bunching of antelope is a good indication that the winter is to be a severe one.
