"Ia'I me have a kmk," and after Mcarchlug for hoiiu time with the aMMlMtance of my compn'ilonn I found them. "They are antelope, as ure an you live!" I exclaimed at once. "You are right, they are Hheep," nald the trapper upon examination. "There Im the herder and' ills dog over to the right." We panned on in a fant walk, n top plug occanlonally to examine the plainn In every cMrcctlon. It is easy enough to tell the ante- J h)H' from sheep," said t lie sheep man. "Yes, only have to watch them a second," replied thetraper. "What Is that over to the left on that rise?" he continued, examining an object through his glasses critically. I be lieve they are antelofie," he said as he handed the glasses over to the sheepmun. UAMK HI(illTKl). "You are correct. They are ante loiH," replied the sheepman. 1 took the glasses and soon dis covered how easy It wan to tell the difference iH'tw'ecn the animals at a distance where the mere motion of the animals could be distinguished. They did not look any larger than small lambs, but their quick move ments to the right and left apjeared like sun-flashes, ant the entire band, which afterwards proved to consist of between 50 and 00, were In motion like so many auts. Their heads were bobbing up aud down and they Mere as restless as playful children. Over to the right, about the same distance, was a band of sheep. A glance through the glasses at these showed a marked difference. They were as steady as a stream and THURSDAY, JULY 2.', trouble In telling the difference Ih' tweeu tliene animals and anteloe, 11 "'"tterM not how great the dis- tance. KoIiMING THE I'LAXH. It wiim eHtlmated that the autoloiK? were at least five miles from us, and to approach them on the plains was an utter Impossibility. How to get within gunshot range was the ques tion. The country lay before us in a slight decline, and taking a course as if giving the antelope a nlde berth we Htarted out again. We had not gone far until the animals had dis appeared from view by reason of an elevation lietweeii us and them. Then we stopped to form the plot. It was easily seen that by following the swale which we were now In to the left we would come up within a mile or half a mile of the game un otiserred.'sribuld they remain la the same place' While we were walking the four and a half miles between the two points-. It was the only course to pursue; except that It was sug gested thatthe hnuting-party should split. 1'ltfcrAHI.NO AN AMUl'Sli. It was suggested that the trapper and 1 should go up the swale toward the animals and that the sheepman would go across the ridge far to the right of them and that by making a circular trip around the other side they would run luto the range of the other two rifles. I hud little faith in ever seelug the antelope again, unless I should ac company the sheepman, and this was couseuted to. We had not walked more than a mile until the trapper had disappeared from view In his rapid walk up the swale. When we reached the top ' of the ridge the sheepman placed the glass es to his eyes, but the antelope were nowhere to be found. (concluded on 4th page) I 1903. NO. 2 A HOT AIR RECORD. Actual Figures Show That the "Good Record Shown" is fTade Of Buncomb Principally. In order to satisfy ourselves an well as the readers of The Examiner as to the correctness of the figuren given In last week's Herald compiled, by the t'ounty Judge, comparing the county exjienses of lost year with the year previous, we have taken the trouble to have the records ex- amined by one who is familiar with j that kind of work, and we find that j the statement that a saving of $ 7, , 90:i..'!!t, is wrong and misleading, I both in actual figures and compar : Ison in these two years. The correct figures as taken from the county (.'ommisnioner's rec ords, are ns follows: Beginning July 1st, llWl, and ending June :50th, VMV2: For Hoads f3,!Hl7.19 Taxes Kef untied W32.73 Other pb ptsaKs. 10,0:52.24 Total - " 14,002.18 The figures given In The Herald for this jieriod were. f20.7G7.31, a mistake of Just fo.MjTi.i'ii. There were 110 taxes refunded the past year, but the year previous f 2.73 was refunded la taxes. The present County Court lu order to make a showing only expended Ljiyn.lC titv-r;vx v cir. roads, while in the. year previous there was spent over two times as much, in order to keep the roads In passable condition. This sum was f3,iW7.1i), or a difference of f 2.3S7.07. Adding that to the total above and the reader can plainly see how fosff the big saving is being cut down. The amount is f8,252.3G. "The Good Record Shown" in last week's Herald saye that the expense of small pox quarantine and the Nellon trial were about equal. Here are the figures: Smallpox Quarantine 1SW1-2 f 1,553.12 1902-3 129.10 Difference fl,424.02 This added to the fS,252.36 makes f9.67G.3S. Cost of Nellon trials 1901-2 f 2,100.00 " " Bondsmen " 1902-3 718.80 Difference fl,3S1.20 Added to the f9,C7C.3S there is fll,057.5S. Again lu 1S01-2 It cost the county f 735.00 to have the county books ex perted, and in 1902-3 under the new law the County Court Is required to do this work, which costs the county nothing. Therefore It is unfair to count this saving to the county as the result of the present board's good financiering. If this amount Is added we have the sum total of f 11, 792.58 which should be deducted from the "good retard" figures of f 20,767.31, and you have f S.974.73, as agalustthe record of the present county court for the years 1902-3 of fl2,8ti3.92, Everything being equal, it will lie Been that the present "good record" board have expended f 3.8S9.19 more than did the Republi can board lu 1901-2. All the hot air of the typical pol itician cannot make the taxpayers of Lake county believe that the county Is being run more economical, only lu cutting down bills and non working of the roads. The condi tions are never the same In any two years, consequently a comparison cannot lie made by a mere state (concluded on 4th page.)
