brought down an elk apiece. 1t was
something like killing COW in g. barn
yard-no frills to it, nothing dramatic.
but easily done. About this time along
came an old Indian known as Hun,ntr,-
lips Pete, who lives at the mouth of the
Humptulips. He saw the band of elk
and began blazing away. The elk were
rounding ridge, and, as one got to the
TOP IN the clearing, he fired. He kept
TINS up TILL he had fired eight shots and

him he had better 60 on over the hill.

the elk and he would do well to 20 and

his cabin on the Humptulips. We were
busy skinning the two elk. we had kill

some meat. SO that we didn't think Of
him again for some time. When we

said that was the reason he hadn't KIM

stlclous Indian that there was nothing;
IN that and that he probably shot some
OF them, and, if he would 20 over
there, we would go with him. We
finally got him to consent to it. All Of
us went back, and just below the hil1l
we found eight elk lying dead. He had;
hit one every time shot it in the
paunch-and they had run long way
before dropping. They'll do that when;
