The never ending dispute as to
the skill and shooting abilities OF
the various hunters in Milbank,
recently resulted in the array OF
two hostile armies. A large
amount of shooting with the
mouth had been going on between
the two bankers, W. B. Saunders
and F.. 3. Roberts, as to their in

friends, until at last it was agreed
that these two gentlemen should
choose sides, devote Tuesday the
31st to a general hunt, and on
that day bring proof OF their
prowess in actual returns of
chickens. Accordingly the chief
tans gathered their clans for the
foray with the understanding
that the defeated parties were to
provide for the vlctors banquet
at the St. Hubert, and bear the
expense Of the same without
murmuring or repining in any
manner whatsoever. The hostile
