SPORT SHE LIKES BEST
Little California Diana Who Took Up
the Gun for Health

LEAD an outdoor life as much as you pos
sibly can, is the prescription many doctor
has given to fair patients whose health and
nerves were shattered by complying with
the demands OF society There are many
ways of filling this prescription-tennis, golf,
wheeling, rowing, angling. There is one
more method; and Miss Rose Meyer of San
Francisco has adopted it. She is the only
daughter of the western metropolis who has
turned to the gun and field to bring back
the roses which ill-health has stolen from
her checks. For years Miss Meyer has
lacked the one thing she most longed for,
robust constitution and perfect health, but
has long hesitated to adopt the common
sense suggestion of her family physician
to pass most OF. her time in the open air.
Finally she decided to go on hunting trip,
and, having done so, was so greatly bene-
fitted that ever since she has stuck to this
plan of obeying her doctor. The trim little
figure of this modern Diana is familiar
sight to sportsmen who tramp the marshes
about Shellville or the uplands bordering
on Sonoma creek. Almost evry week, in
company with relative, she makes a pill
grimage to some favorite haunt of wild
game, and her skill with the gun is evidenced
by the well-flled game bag which she in
variably brings back. On a recent visit to
the Sonoma marsh she bagged seven teal,
five English snipe, besides several quail, all
killed on the wing. Her mentor VOWS that
she bids fair to become one of the most
notable wing shots in San Francisco. Miss
Meyer is petite, weighing little more than
100 pounds, but there is suggestion of
strength and agility in every line of the sup
pile figure, which only exercise in the open air
can give, and light in the eyes which de-
notes perfect health.

Oscar Davis Meets a Fearful Death bv
Indulging in Dangerous
Pastime

SANTA ANA, Nov. 29.-While attempt
ing to steal a ride on the brake beam of a
freight train at the Santa Fe depot this after
noon, about 2 o'clock, Oscar Davis young
boy about Is years of age, met a horrible
death. Davis and several boy companions
have been in theh abit of going down to the
depot after school to jump trains and have
good time. This afternoon they arrived at
the depot just as freight train was pulling
out at fair rate of speed. They all made for
it and Davis made an attempt to swing under
car and climb on the brake beam for ride
His legs were Immediately caught by the
wheels, cutting them both off close to the
body. His body then dropped under the
wheels and was frightfully mangled, being
carried about hundred yards before the
train could be stopped.
Several persons saw the accident and went
to his assistance as soon as possible and
picked up the remains which were scattered
along the entire distance the train had gone
Undertaken Mills was notified and went at
once to the scene of the accident and brought
the remains up town where they lay for some
time before anyone could identify them on
account of their mutiated condition.
The companions of the dead boy who were
with him disappeared as soon as they saw
the horrible accident which had befallen
their friend and they could not be located
for some time. The coat and hat worn by
the boy were shown to various persons for
identification and finally were recognized by
some one as those worn by Oscar Davis. An
older brother, named John Davis, was hunt
ed up and taken in to view the remains. He
identified them at once as his brother and
his grief was pitiful. He was taken home
and the mother, Mrs. Davis, was notified.

held an inquest. The father of the boy is
