out as it has not for several seasons.
Stories of fat bucks still come in, and in
some of the larger trout streams the fish
ing is now at its best.
w. Shaw and party killed three bucks,
all of a good size, near Santa Cruz last
Sunday. Shaw is getting to be an expert
with the rife here lately and there is great
fear expressed by the friends of DR.. Carver
and Buffalo Bill that their laurels are 70
be consigned to the ash barrel of oblivion
in the near future.
The best joke OF the season is the story
told about Fred Kennedy and George
Hinke. The very best part of the whole
thing is that the tale is strictly true so Tar
as the main facts are concerned. They
both went down to Lake San Andreas last
Sunday to catch striped bass. They
caught four in two days. When they got
back to town Kennedy walked up to a
party of friends in the company Of
Hinkel and said:
II tell you, boys, Hinkel is the most
pati mt fellow | ever saw in my lie.
Why, he sat Tor just six hours, actual
time, in one spot and didn't get but one
bite while he was there.
What were you doing all this time p
gent Y interpolated one of the party.
II p innocently queried Kennedy-"Oh
/ was Just sitting still watching him."
DR.. Clement and DR.. f. L. Platt and
wife have lately returned from a hunting
and fishing trip in the region of Cahto,

oil his lower lip when he started away, but
he returned with his beauty at top notch.

| and A. Roos the champion erratic shot
of the globe, did the worst shooting, taking

! he ever did IL his life. Under careful
practice he is fast losing his reputation.
