over all the lines in the city. On Tenth
street the cars were stopped, and the visit
ors conducted through the State Capitol
grounds and buildings They were then
taken TO Agricultural Park where a num-
Der of the finest racers on the coast were

TOOK TO THE WATER-About 3 p. NJ.
Thursday, officer Franks, of the mounted"
while prospecting in the lower portion of
the city for parties violating the law by
shooting within the city limits. saw man
hunting on Seventh-street slough. about at
' street As the officer was trying to reach
the hunter he started up some ducks. and
saw the hunter fire both barrels and bring
down two or three of the birds. Franks
had TO go almost to II street before he could
find open country through which to get to
the shooter. When he was within about
$50 yards Of him the man recognized him
and took to his heels. The officer, who
had hitched his horse, followed and the
fugitive took to the water, wading out to
bunch OF tule in the center of the slough
the water up to his waist. Franks took off
his coat and pistol and laid them down de-
hberately, as though he intended to strip
and do little wading himself, not having
any idea OF doing so, however, and the
hunter, watching his movements, yelled
out, You - long-legged wretch. if YOU
come out here I'll shoot you - That's what
I'm going to do, all the same the officer
replied, and sat down as if to pull off his
boots That was too much for the shooter
who, with his gun elevated over his
head, made tor the further shore, wading
through water thai was up to his armpits,
and finally reaching terra tirma. The officer
saw him try to get ride from a man who
was passing in a covered wagon but fail,
and the last seen of him he was hurrying
of on foot, anxious to be out of sight be-
fore the office could get around the end of
the slough and follow him. There are a
great many birds in that body of water.
and also III the holes in the vicinity of Fiji
teenth and Sixteenth streets, where the
brickyards used to be, and bows and men
have at times killed pretty good bags there,
notwithstanding the law. One man is said
TO have killed eleven while standing on the
R-street leyee a few days since Since
officers FraZee and Franks have been doing
considerable patrol work in the vicinity,
the shooting has had an additional element
OF excitement given it, andnow the gunners
hunt and are hunted.
