 Amos Adams has hard luck story. While out hunting in the canyon about two miles north of town the first of the week he suc- ceeded in bringing down deer, but before he could reach it the deer changed it's mind and moved off along the trail. As the vision of juicy venison steak disappeared Amos became tired and disgusted, and now says he never did care much for venison, anyway. But for real good hard luck deer stories wait until, say, about Monday.

Their train left the main line at Newton, Kansas, and was then diverted through Texas and from Fl Paso they came over the $. F., and finally reached Will jams by way of Phoenix and Ash Fork.
