 creek about twenty miles and then went 

 across to the Cold Train Lakes^, where we 

 found numerous antelope watering. I told 

 Henderson that we would stop right there and 

 kill a load of antelope. Henderson turned out 

 the horses and I went to work and before 

 night I had killed twenty-four. The next 

 morning a large buffalo came in to water and 

 I got him. This made our load and we pulled 

 in to Sherlock, whefe we sold out for $71*00, 

 one-third of which went to Henderson. 

 We only staid in Sherlock over night and 

 started out again, this time going on the bed 

 of the Pawnee River, as I supposed the buffalo 

 were there* But when we arrived We found 

 that the Indians had been there and had chased 

 them out of the country on horeback. It 

 frightens them badly to chase them on horse- 

 back, and when thus started do not soon stop* 

 Finding that we could get no buffalo there, I 

 set in and killed a load of antelope, and we 

 took them into Pierceville, the nearest station. 

 We then took another shoot, going in south ol
