A YOUNG DEER HUNTERS SHOT

A IOON8 DEEh HUNIERS s SHOT
 One of the most remarkable shots on record has been made by a twelve year-old boy of San Bernadino, who shot and instantly killed a good-sized deer with a twenty-two-ca calibre rifle. The record is likely to stand some time before being broken. And it wasn't a mere chance shot either. he young man, whose name is Lee Thomas, was camp ed with his parents at Strawberry Peak, one of the picturesque points of the San Barnandino Mountains. With some boy friends the youthful Nimrod went out for ramble. He took his repeating rife along just for fun" While proceeding down a gully the boys heard some animals cracking the brush below, and, standing still to await developments, three deer burst into ivew. Quick as a flash, with the instinct of huntsman, Thomas brought the gun to his shoulder and pumped five bullets at the monarchs of the glen before they located the sound. But the last bullet proved ef- fective, hitting deer in about the only vulnerable spot for so small charge the eye. The young man will always treasure the trophies of his youthful but remarkable feat.-The San Fran cisco Examiner.
