has Dali DeWeese of Canon City For
thirty years he has been at it and dur
ing that time has never yet missed
taking his annual autumn hunting trip
into some far-off wilderness in search
of big game. He has hunted the
Rocky mountains and Sierras from
Alaska to Old Mexico. He has killed
moose and elk in Alaska to game in
Korea. His collection of mounted
heads is probably, one of the finest to
be seen in the West and every one Of
them is the result of true shot from
his rifle. In his den at his home near
Lincoln park, he has two heads which
are giants Of their kind. One is that
