Colorado Springs, Colo, Sept. III.
S. Kimsey, a veteran Of 10 winters who
has lived in the Rocky mountain range
since the pioneer days, is planning a
novel hunt into Routt county for this
fall. When tho SHOWS are deep in the
mountains, he will take a party of
Colorado Springs hunters, equipped
with skees, to hunt the mountain lion
and other big game of the wilderness.
The novel feature of the hunt lies in
the fact that he never takes a gun

with the liaret and knife. IN this
manner Kimsey has caught cinnamon
bears, elk, deer and mountain lions.
