STORY OF WAIANAE GOATS
Observation-Disclosures 1t ::
~ WIN. GALBRAITH
Honolulu, April Is. 1908.

80 thu Naianuc mountains to shoot
goats. w.th M brother and Ha-
waiian boy. We had two i5-0O RI
AeS and e little - target shooting
guA. My biotncr George mad the
nItle % gun and Rennie, the Ha-
wailan boy, had one of the 1910 and
had the other. So we started out
'early in the morning.
Oh, but It was cold and damp, but
the further we travelled the better we
got, and after we had got to the top
of the hill we all looked around for
goats, but we could not see any. So
| happened to look around and l saw
a flock on the third ridge from us.
AS we thought that they were too
far we started to walk on up the hill
a little further and George said,
Say, lay low" so we did, and as
we did he said, Look below" So
we did, and there we saw another
flock of goats. We turned around
and we shot at them. The Others
did not hit any, btu | hit one, and
he ran along as If he was never
touched. But he ran into the Ian
tana and bushes and lay down. My
brother saw the goat go in there but
did not see him come out, so he ran
down the hill to look for him and
found him, but he was not dead, SO
George started shooting with his %,
but somehow or other could not hit
him. Then he called me. Sol went
as quickly as | could and Rennie did
too. q.
When we got there, George said
that the goat would run away II VIC
were not careful. oh" I said, II
don't think that he is able to run any
more" So | sent the dog in, and
as soon as the dog got in the goat
ran out by me and right straight
down by Renhie. Sc was 80 close ia
me that hit him with my gun bar
rel and Rennie tried to catch him by
the horns. but he did not get the
chance, for the goat saw him and
turned just as soon as Rennie made
a go for him.
Well, Just before the goat got out
of sight Rennie shot him and so we
got him safely and, to cut long
story short, we carried the goat home
hide, head and all, and we had very
fine time and very nice walk
through the hills. | took a piece OF
the goat meat to town with me and
we had it for dinner, but | did not
know whether It was mutton or goat,
for 1t tasted so fine that we did not
know the difference.
asked Mr.. McLain, us this goat?"
"Oh, no." he said; 1T is mutton"
took his word, for did not kot know
myself, for | had not tasted goat
meat before. We only ate that piece
to see what 1t tasted like, but 1t was
firR all right, and ! wished that
had another piece like It,
Well, on that hunt / lost fine
big iack-knife, and 1t is not to be
found, guess.
The joke is this: George had put
one of the 22 long cartridges in, his
gun, and when he had shot 1t the
bullet did not come out but stayed
in the barrel of the gun. He did not
notice 1t and went on shooting and
shooting until his barrel was full OF
bullets, and then he noticed It and
told us about It, He said, mo won
der that every time ! shot ! could
not see where | would hit" Then
took the gun and looked into II
and then we all had to laugh over
1t for a while.

A feature of the baseball situation
on the Pacific Coast which Is attract,
ing good deal of attention is the
way the State League in California
is running away from the Coast
League. The reason Is thought to be
that the OUTLAW" men are putting
up the real article at baseball, am
, have earned the immense patronage
they draw, enabling them to pay biz
salaries, and draw such men AZ
Baum of Philadelphia National fam,
and Blankenship, one of the bes
catchers ever with the Washington
Americans.
New York advices say that it II
taken for granted in turf circles
there, Notwithstanding Gov. Hughes
, aggressive determination, that thu
Agnews-Hart bills have ceased to en-
danger racing, and there is good rea
son for believing the work of recon
structing the jockey club and mend
ing the weak spots in its scheme o
turf government has begun.
