 William tByrnes of the South End was one of a large number of men who tried their luck with the rifle yes terday, but unlike most of those who went out with dog and gun in hand as the man said. he was rewarded for his tramp, though, to be sure, he had to do battle in order to get possession of his prey, but of course that's what a huntscan takes delight in. Mir Byrnes had poor luck until he got into swamp somewhere near the East Mountain reservoir where he started coon and took one leg from under it with the first shot. After this it crawled under an old bridge and re- mained there until Mir Byrnes went in and hauled it out. The coon fought like a trooper. but it was not able to resist the onslaughts of it's assai1ant and finally succumbed to the ineyita- ble. It was big fellow. more than any one would want to carry far and Mn Byrnes lightened the load by di- viding the coon with his old friend, Michael Duhig, and carried his own half home in triumph.
