In the mountains this fall ; Is Tom
Iirannou and party. Mr. Brannon
lives northeast of the city a little
ways. . As far up Beaver creek as it
was possible to go, the party killed an
elk and they brought back his antlers
to prove their statement. Six prongs
grace the powerful horn. They are
rather peculiarly shaped, In that they
are stronger and heavier than most
elk antlers and have less spread. The
animal was killed so far in the In
terior that it wus impossible to g'i
the carcass to camp, hence the hide
was spoiled before the hunters wore
aware of it. They report the monarch
of the forest are extremely scarce and
the same thing applies to deer. The
animal killed weighed about 800
pounds. . -.
