Ten Thousand of Them Driven from the Mountain* by Snow. j Landers, W.yo., Feb. 15.—1 tis estimated that not less than 10,000 elk have come out from the mountains and foot-hills to the plains between Fort Washakie and the head of the Wind river to escape the deep snows. The Arapahoe and Shoshone Indians are very anxious to get a permit from the Indian agent, Capt. Ray. to slaughter these afiimals, but so far they have been unsuccessful.
