NOVEL ELK HUNTING.

How MericA.s Catch Them with LAs-
hats In California.
In the latter part OF July and dur
ing August the Mexican, or Cali
fornian,n as he is locally styled. has
his greatest field sport-hunting the
elk. At that season the elk are the
fattest They come down from the
mountains, foothills and crags at
tracted by the luxuriant pasturage
OF the valley lands coursed by
streams or fronting upon the sea In
these favored localities the heavy
dews add luxuriance to the wild
grasses, oats and other grains. At
this season. because OF their extra
bulk, elk cannot run so fast Ordin-
arily they give the Hectest horse a
close race.
The Mexican elk-huntcr is"armed"
only with lariat and luna cres-
cent-shaped knife which is tied at the
end OF slender pole about ten feet
in length. The luna somewhat re-
sembles the moon, hence its name.
The luna is used to hamstring the
elk after the lariat has been thrown
over his horns.
A party OF ten or fifteen Mexicans,
thus equipped and mounted on the
fieetest horses, will charge a band OF
100 or more, each man selecting his
victim. On being lassoed the elk
will plunge violently, almost pulling
the horse forward, for the RATA is

Tho Mexican sits calmly on the
horse, talking sarcastically to the
struggling elk. bestowing praise
