 Bons Play = Prominent Part.

On November 4th,- when Aurora woke up from her slumbsr and was seen in all her glory on the eastern horizon, three diciples of Nimrod left our town and proceeded to the mountains in quest of the noble deer and other game which would like to be interviewed. These hunters, Mir. Wm Morris, of Flagstaff; Mir. J. H. Ooult, of Los GAtns, Cal; and Mir. w. J. Mayer, of Missouri. after a successful and historical hunt, re- turned last Saturday evening with six deer and two fine turkeys, all killed by themselves. On Sunday a number of Flagstaff dinner tables were decorated with juicy venison, donated by these kind hearted gentlemen.
 In the Hotel Del Monte the festive board was spread, and no table was so heavily laden and well surrounded as the one where the following named gentlemen took their seats to await the goods the Nimrods had provided, they were {: Messrs. J. H. Coult, W. J. Mayer, Wm. Morris. Dr. P. G. Cornish; W. U. Murphy, 0. H. Schulz, R. H. Cameron, G. A. Bray. David Bab- bitt. NJ. A. Carl-y, J. A. Brown and c. II. Cook. The table was finally supplied with . 20 pound turkey and one half of fine large buck, and the gentlemen gave credit to those delicsciss for which thuy had assembled on Monday afternoon.
 The above mentioned buck had pecaiiar attraction, as he was born with crumblsd horn. With this buck one of the hunters had start. ling experience. The animal moving leisurcly along, not knowing his fate and that he was followed by such good hunter as Mir. Coult, who finally put bullet through the neck of tie king of the forrest. and then gave up the chase. After he rested < ~hile he looked around and found that he was at the stone quarry and taking his bearings he discovered that he was several miles from his fellow hunters, who were near the Clif Dwsllers. A vision of the 5000 sheep and 3 cowmen. who froze to death in New Mexico re- cently, came up before him in all it's horrors. The question occurred to him ''how am to get back to campi" Iie was just ready to settle down and await his awful fate as kindly faced man with two horses appeared in sight, and Coult at oncs took the opportunity and offered the man s5 if he would pilot him back to camp. What wiil s5 of Uncle Sam's money not do for Q man lost in Arizonai Mir. Coult was safely landed among his fellow hunters, but imagine his surprise when near camp he saw the crumple horned buck (which he sup posed was left ut the quarry) bleat. ing at Morris. Coult, being disap- pointed ut not now able to tell his thrilling experience to his comrads, dispatched the buck with his knife.
 The half of said buck attracted much attention ut the above men, tioned dinner, which Mir. Morris gave in honor of the prodigal hunt ten tCoult and Maycr) Mir. Morris is SO constructed that he must tell stories Q contest was immediately Legun between him and Mir. Bray. The former, at the end of his first tale, was designated by his friends 1.-The Elongator;" his story was that the woods around Flagstaff would not contain at present as much game as it does, had he not been de- c,ived in his gun, which was left handed and hs used right handed gun, which necsssitatcd his getting on the wrong side of tree whenever he saw deer.
 After that it was Mir. Bray's turn, and he told many q good story Of an amusing nature, but all will not bear repetition here, but we state that Bray was knocked out and the Bone" awarded to ''The Elongator" in an appropriate speech made by Dr. P. q. Cornish. Geo. H. Cook, being so elAted over the defeat of his friend Briy that he carried the bone away with him as memento and put 1t on exhibition in the post office where it can be seen It any kss~x>
