Of opposition from other quarters. Ev-

considerable reputation as huntsmen, but
it appears that even they are not familiar
with all the seconds in the mountains. Re.
Gently a party of hunters were arrested
by a sound unfamiliar to their ears; vari-
Gus opinions were given as to the class Of

with the true spirit of hunters, it was re.
solved to take the "varmint" at all haz-

circled round to make sure of the game,

they came upon q steam saw mill, the
