yet there are some who maintain that there
il no hunting here. F. H. Bixby, Herb
Landers and A. w. Goodfellow were the
lucky hunters to whom the honor falls Of
having made The biggest bag on record.
They, started from the yacht La Paloma at
3:45 a. m. Tuesday. The goats were found
two hours later on the tops of the ridges
around BLACK Jack" and there were
twelve big bands of them. At the first ap-
proach they seemed to be rather dazed, but
as soon as the first one was brought down
the band took the alarm and had important
business elsewhere. Not stopping to pick
UP the goats that had been killed, the hunt
ers pressed on after those that were get
ting away. Seeing that they were pursued,
the goats took to the top of the ridge and in
that way gave the party just the oppor-
tunity that they wanted. The guns began
to crack again. Following as fast as the
horses could go the chase was continued
until the goats made good their escape over
some of the cliffs that are so easy to them
but almost Inaccessible to man or horse
Among the heads were several fine pairs
Of horns. and these the party will have
mounted ~ souvenirs Of the chase.
While out after goats yesterday A. w.
Goodfellow met with a painful accident,
and now takes his breakfast of the man.
telpiece. Goodfellow was at the bottom Of
q ravine and had Just started his horse
ahead to climb bank when the brute re-
fused to move. After a good dead of per-
suasion no finally started up the bank and
had almost reached the top when the
ground gave way under him and down he
came. Goodfellow got out Of the way OF
the falling horse but did not have time to
be particular az to where he it, Gravity
chose his bed for him and selected large
bristly bed of cactus. The fall did not hurt
as much as the cactus did, and all the after
noon was spent In finding and removing
such Of the tormentors as could be found.
Capt. Goodfeilow and Mr.. Doran, who
were also on the yacht. preferred to spend
their time fishing to hunting and as
three days bag report three tuna and so
many barracuda and yellowtail that 1t
became too much Of q task to keep count
Of them.
La Paloma will sail for Santa Barbara
today on her way to San Francisco. At
Santa Barbara 1t is Mr.. Goodfellow's in
tention to put q crew aboard and send her
home, the party taking the train.
Geo. Emerson. owner Of the launch Santa
Ana, had rather comical experience yes
terday. He had put of from the launch in
skin to bring of some parties who were
on the shore at Silver canyon. AS he
reached the shore he lay to on his oars
waiting for a good roller to take him
through the surf. Seeing one coming he
started to back water to get outside so that
he could ride It before 1t broke. He reached
1t Just as 1t broke and passed through It all
right. CHANGING to look round he saw
another twice. as big as the first, ana 1t
broke Just as It reached him. The wave
picked the skin up and hurled Il on shore,
after breaking one oar and shipping about
a washtub full Of water. The wave upset
the boat and piled It In glorious tangle
Of Hines, ears and man high and wet on the
beach. tg
G.. e. and e. Dow and c. Baeur were out
for smaller flsh but got two jewish strikes
on q yellowtail line. Both the fishes were
lost a. the line was not long enough to
play the big fish successfully. The party
landed seventeen barracuda and three yell
lowtail.
b. Ogdsn was out In the launch Santa
Ana and four barracuda, two yellowtail.
two halibut, one stingray and ten Sleeps
