night and keeps ''hfs eyes skinner for
members breaking the rules by shoot
ing ducks before daylight or after
dark. A funny incident took place
last Sunday morning In which Watch
man Long figured conspicuously. Two
prominent members of the club left
town about 4:30 a. m. and took with
them decoys in order to allure his
wary duckship near enough to get a
shot. Bang! bangi went the report
of shot gun; this was when it was
pitch dark. Foot steps were heard in
the distance, gradually coming nearer
and that on the dead run. 1t was
Watchman Long, and it didn't take
him long" to get there either. "Who
gave you permission to shoot this time
of night?' said he to the two meiabers
near the bank, as he made feint at
his nip pocket as if in the act of draw
ing his gun. Seeing the decoys still
on the land he exclaimed: II caught
you dead to right. Give me dem
ducks" All in the greatest excite
ment. Suffice it to say the ducks were
handed him. This was sufficient to
cool his wrought up temper; explana-
through and three cold freezing indi.
viduals presented a scene as the bottle
was passed from one to another. Long
requested that the joke be kept
among u.s." but he couldn't keep it
himself and the joke is now public
property. The law breaker was af-
terward found and a full confession
given. His excuse was that in maxi
ing sneak his gun was accidentally
discharged; at any rate he had moth
ing to show for the two shots fired.
Chas. Hunmmel and Otto Guenther
were out quail shooting last WedEes-
day.

FoWLERS AND FOwLING.

j. F. France and r. A. Arthur spent
last Saturday night on a camping eX-
petition in the woods, bringing home
nice bag of quail.
Henry S. and Alex Half had quite
an experience down the Sap road re-
Gently. They were hunting quail in
one of the large pastures and lost their
bearings. Four miles from the sta
ton they came to ranch and had
but As minutes to catch the train
Money was freely offered to the fore
man for a team to carry them to the
station, but he positively refused at
first. Much persuasion and an ex-
PLANTATION on the part of the Half boys
stating that they were also in the cat
tie business, softened the heart of the
foreman and he hitched up and took
the boys to the train free of charge.
Henry and Alex have invested in COM
passes and will hunt quail next time
instead of camp.
E. p. Tschichart says he's got dan
dy in Frank, his young pointer dog,
and furthermore is fit to go in any
company.
Hal Howard left for the old Adams
ranch, which contains Mitchell's lake,
and which is now leased to John De-
wees for pasturage, for quail hunt
last Thursday. He bagged plenty of
quail.
G. A. Showers and w. A. Turner
left for the coast on a duck hunt last
Friday.

with "would-be know it ais" who

his companions that shooting was
poor, the ducks didn't come over him

can't fool all the ducks all the time"
You will always notice that an exper-

in garments nearest the color Of dead

ments can be had as low as three dol

any one sportsman to scare the game

THE HARMONY HOP.

The social season was ushered in by
the members of the Harmony club and
their ladies last Thursday evening by
a very pleasant informal hop. The
air was crisp, the music good, the floor
was smooth, the ladies and their es-

combined proved a factor in making
the evening one of the most pleasant
informal events in the history of the
Harmony club.
