all through the country round the head
of the creek, into which we had come
down, we walked over to the next, and
went over it with equal care and pa.

advanced, and we had to change our
method of hunting. 1t was no longer

looked for places where they might be
expected to bed, following any trails
that led into thick patches of brush or
young trees, one of us then hunting
through the patch while the other kept
watch without. Doubtless we must
have passed close to more than one
deer, and doubtless others heard us
and skulked off through the thick
cover; but. although we saw plenty of
signs. we saw neither hoof nor hair

We lunched at the foot of great
clay butte, where there was bed OF
snow.
After lunch we hunted until the
shadows began to lengthen out, when
we went back to our horses. The buck

that reduces most horses to n state OF
frantic terror. AS soon as loaded We

Chappell at the County Fair.

From the Chappell Register: A
large crowd from Chappell accom-
panied the ball team to Julesbure last
Friday to witness the ball game and
take in the last day Of the fair. A
large amount of produce was on ex-
hibit, several good horse races We're
run after the ball game and the dance
in the evening attracted good sized
crowd.
Last Friday the ball team went down
to Julesburg to play against that team
for per cent of the gate receipts and
which after winning the long end of
the purse amounted to only $3.50.
The game was not up to the standard
in the way Of PLAYING or in fact any
thing else. There was any amount of
rag chewing all through the game and
the Julesburg team doing it all.
Nichols, of Ogalalla. pitched for our
team on account of the absence OF the
pitcher in the team here. Bert Davis
umpired and called the game after the
seventh inning. when the score stood
10 to : in Chappell's favor, because
few of the other team refused to play
the game out, claiming that Bert was
not giving them fair deal, but if he
was not, the crowd and even some of
their own players failed to see it.
