But He Did Not Have Antelope Venison for Dinner.

Fowler Republican-Leader. Frank Lewis is wintering two hundred and fifty half-wild cattle in Sunny Alberta. Some antelopes have been coming up and eating with the cattle and Mr. Lewis thought that it would be awful nice to have antelope meat for dinner. It would not do to shoot among the cattie. So he started in on horseback with a club. He got an antelope out, but every time he would attempt to strike, the horse would shy and he would miss, and it circled back into the cattle, and he hot after it, and the cattle were stampeded, and when he got them stopped .they were twelve miles from the starting place. Wire fences were no obstacles. *A big Hereford was the leader. Frank thought if he could check him, he could stop the stampede. The steer started to gore his horse. He struck it with his club. It was a good club. It came from Warren county. The steer dropped like it was shot. And soon alter the cattle were stopped. But Mr. Lewis was entirely in, and did not recover for a week.
