A Few Of the Game Hunters of the Glass
City Lightly Touched Up.

A Few Of the Game Hunters of the Glass
City Lightly Touched Up.
Now is the season when the valiant
hunter cleans up his old shotgun, hunts up
his shot pouch and powder flask, calls up
his dog. which responds with a knowing
WAC of its tail, and putting a flask of good
four-ycar-old in his inside coat pocket, re-
pairs to some woOd-surrounded pond, SUI
burban thickct, and stubble fields, from
which the grain has been cleaned, and in
dulges in the sport Of fall shooting.
This year game is rather plentiful.
Squirrels are found in larger numbers than
for several years. Rabbits are few and far
between, bat it is a little early in the sea-
son for this kind of game.
A good days hunt in these parts is from
II to IL quails, ) or 6 rabbits and as many
squirrels. The city possesses not a few
gentlemen who each year resort to some
favorite ground where game is plentiful,
and spend from one day to two weeks
chasing small game for the fun there is in
it. Among the representative citizens Of
Bellaire who delight to run down n squirrel
or rabbit is Marshal Will Darby. Will is
very heavy when his avOirdupOis is con
sidered, but Is quite lighttoOted when
trailing n hot track. Last week he was out
in Pennsylvania. There was all
the game he was wanted hut he could not
get near most of it on account of the rustic
of dry leaves. However, when he did get
within gun shot, the object Of his aim
came to earth every time. The Marshal
bagged - squirrels in three hours and
then came home and told the boys that he
was Just getting into the place where the
good hunting was when he had to leave to
catch the train.
Will Mason, of Gravel Hill, likes to
take q '%.iaunt' into the country. when he
is not busy, and try his hand with a gun.
He is usually pretty successful and brings
home the requisite for several good meals.
Tucker Ferrew, Of the Independent
job rooms, has returned from an outing. y
He had his gun with him when he came
home, but nothing else, but we suppose
that Tucker" disposed of his surplus
while at the countyseat.
Ex-oficer Sam Leach handles a gun
pretty we'll and is very industrious while
on a piscatOrial tour. Last Wednesday he
captured 81 squirrels and didn't half try.
G. Rumbach is a good shot and knows
where to look for squirrels. He got it into
his head a few days ago that there was
sport on a certain old gentleman's farm.
He visited the place but was run off by the
owners before he got down to bus
mess. The next day he concluded to try
it again, but met with a greater setback
than before, as he was ''cOllared" by the
old gentleman and fined for trespassing.
Hal Wilson and WILDER Smith have
quite extensive regulations as shots. They
belonged to the famous Bellaire gun club
that died a bOrnin'.n
d. II. Darrah, with q little practice,
would make a crack shot, but he is too
much engaged hunting votes just now to
do any other kind Of hunting.
