creek, in Marion county. Ark, he
and his brother Calvin. went up to
the upper end of the river bottom,
above the mouth of the creek, TO
shoot turkeys. Great numbers were
roOStIng in the timber. The night
was cold, but was brilliantly lighted
up by full moon. In a large svca-
more tree the limbs were crowded
with turkeys. Both men took a
station at one tree and shot, time
about, until IA fat turkeys fell dead.
Thinking it wrong to kill more than
they could make use of for a while,
they ceased the slaughter and swung
the dead turkeys on pole and car
ried them home
Where the little hamlet ofDuggin's 5
Mills. Ozark county, Mo-, now is, is
a fine spring of water Here, on this
spot, Bill Clark often camped and kill
ed scores of deer on Cedar creek. The
hills and valleys in this section were
a garden spot for deer. About 200
yards from the spring, Bill said that
he killed the largest buck he ever
heavy that it gave him and his
brother Calvin a hard lift to carry it
to camp at the spring. He SAID
that after the hide was well dried, it
weighed ~ lbs and 2 OF. at For
.syth. Campbell Berry, who was
then county clerk of Taney county,
had offered a fine pocket knife as a
premium to the hunter who brought
in the largest buck hide in proper
condition. Bill got the knife This
was in the latter sos.
But on a certain occasion in the
'4Os, Bill, accompanied by his broth

this same spring, on Cedar creek.

wind was blowing brisk and the
hunters thought they would have no
success that day OH account ot the
blustery wea ther. But they went
out to try their luck at least. Just
below the spring on the creek, they
met a herd of deer, which divided.
and each man followed a bunch of
them. The deer were not wild, and
soon stopped. Calvin said that Bill
killed three of them as fast as he
could load and shoot, the second
one fell across the first one and third
one fell in a few feet OF the o ther two.

Calvin were hunting one dav on the
right hand prong of the creek. The
weather was warm and the weary
hunters had stopped at a spring of
water to quench their thirst. Be

Both men waited patiently until
the bee filled itself and started. Bill

212 feet in length, which hung be-
