VIII Mugrage went out goat hunting
yesterday. In addition to replenishing his

brought home with him one of the most
PCSuiidt HtduS ever obtained on the lSlanQ.
He calls it the "Willie-boy' goat not so
much on account of the hunters name, but
because 1t parts Its hair in the middle, at
least 1t did do this. but the taxidermist will
attend to its toilet in future, as Will is
having 1t mounted, to perpetuate the dude.
The hair is very long and hangs down on
each side of the head in great white
clusters Mr.. Mugrage says he shot the
animal in Silver canyon. AS he has NO

goat died of natural causes and that the
hunter wants to make capital out of his
find.
