the story started out with ammunition
for the different points where a herd
of fourteen deer was seen.

members He got fine buck weigh
ing 100 pounds dressed. 1t was cap

lenos who brought in two deer, which
they shot away back in the mountains.
| One of the bucks weighed 100 pounds
and the other tipped the beam at 165
pounds. They saw several fine does

good shot at them.

buck in the Topango canyon after
a hot chase, and also secured the limit
in doves.

turned to Los Angeles with three deer
as a result of their trip to the SINH
mountains district, near CalabasaS. The

ing the watering place, lay In wait for
two hours before getting their game.
When the deer did come there were
fourteen in the herd of which three
were bucks. The boys got all three,
two four-point and one six-point.
Fifty dollars for one deer and a doe
at that may seem like neat sum to
pass out for venison, but such was
of Do Of
tura the other day. He got the first
bag of the season, but did not stop
to consider the fact that half hum
dred dollars would be the price for
the fun. Yesterday he got the doe and
as result he was ''pinched" and
passed out two twenties and ten to
Justice of the Peace Smith in the
shape of fine which the law imposes
on slayers of female deer.
Louis L. p. Biebesheimer hiked out
to Newhall yesterday with 20 rifle
and captured a dozen rabbits in two
hours of shooting, and says he would
have caught many more but for the
fact that he ran out of ammunition.
p. e. Peterson and A. Edison will
start next Saturday for a two days
trip to the San Bernardino mountains
in quest of deer and doves.
Fred Ford went to Fillmore in search
of deer yesterday and came home early
with a six-point buck.

wonder of the Salt Lake team, went
up to the mouth of the San Gabriel and
brought home a fine six-point buck and
several rabbits.
j. e. Tay went to Calabasas and got
the limit in the dove line.
A local sportsman who arrived in
Los Angeles yesterday from the San
Fernando valley, witnessed what he
termed "a cold-blooded deed" while on
a dove hunting trip. He said he had
been out hunting the doves early one
morning and suddenly came upon
Japanese who was aiming gun into
the branches of a tree. Suddenly the
Jap fired and dove fell to the ground,
followed a minute later by the nest
adm three young doves. He said ne
gave the Jap sound thrashing for the
deed. The speaker was about six feet
tall and probably weighed more than
two hundred pounds.

yesterday went fishing at Long Wharf.
They report angling at that place as ex-
u.

nets. One fisherman caught sixty
