FRESNO SPORTING NEWS.
How Doves Are Slaughtered and
Fish Speared in the
CouDtrv

FRESNO, CAL, Aug. 12.-Fresno has many
sportsmen and at present they are engaging
in the avocations with great enthusiasm. Not
for many seasons has game been as plentiful
as it is this year. Doves and quail especially
abound.
Probably the most successful hunting ex-
petition OF the season was that of Justice S. c.
ST. John, DR.. j. C. Cooper, Harry V. Armiiage
anG Arthur Machen, who drove to the San
Joaquin River last Saturday afternoon and
spent the night and Sunday there. Saturday
event ng was spent in trying to spear salmon
by torchlight, but not one of the finny tri be
put in an appearance. The next morning was
devoted 10 dove hunt, and hundreds of the
birds were brought down. In fact, the hunters
kept on killing doves until they became ii red
of picking the game up, and gave up keeping
co unit on the number slain.
The campers had an elegant breakfast of
doves. The fun of the trip occurred Sunday
afternoon, however. DR.. Cooper and Macheu
went swimming in the stream and took their
fish might show itself. Sure enough the
bathers espied two huge salmon basking in
the sunshine on sandbar, where the water
was running only about six inches deep. After
an exciting chase spear was fastened in the
fish, and he was so powerful that he pulled
DR.. Cooper off his feet.
The salmon weighed TWEEN ty-fve pounds and
was three feet long. 1t was one of the largest
ever seen IN the San Joaquin, in which MANY
go to the upper stream 10 spawn. The repuIar r
hence, and 1t is expected that some fine sport
for poaohers will be furnished as IL is believed
that larger number than usual will go nm 10
spawn this year.

successful one, too Only recently he re turned
