the world for duck shooting and says that
one can have no idea OF the water fowl
to be seen there in the season. His shoot

earlier than the height of the season, but
nevertheless he killed 100 ducks in one
mornings shooting
There is large shooting camp at the
mouth OF the river and 1t has attracted many
of the best sportsmen this season, as the

An eastern paper in writing on charac-
| ter well known in Omaha among all classes
of sports lately had the following notice
when Arizona Jack Hallowell blew in from
| the west, few years ago, with his big
brimmed felt hat and his long, brown hair,
he was an excellent specimen of western
manhood. He was a fine shot. too; steady
sure and always to be depended upon in a
tight pinch. He never boasted of what he
could do, but 1t was known that In Arizona
he was wont to shoot pigeons with a ride
disdaining the use of a shotgun. But In a
short time Arizona Jack lost his person
alty. He discarded the big brimmed hat
and had his hair cut. To cap the climax, he
had his mustaehe shaved off the other day
while taking in the great Omaha exposition
with big Indian Parmelee so that even hi,
intimate friends did not recognize him
Jack is still doing good work with the gun
