HUNTING AND FISHING

Deer and dove hunters who have been
in the habit of shooting game on the
ranches belonging to Richard omen,
which cover nearly half the southern
portion of Orange county and half tne
northern portion of San Diego county,
have found O'Neils riders hot on their
trail. Dozens of hunters have been
personally conducted off the foothills
to a. county road. Jerome O'Neil, man
ager of the vast O'Neil acres, has issued
an order to his vaqueros that all nun
ters must go, regardless of past priv
ileges extended to them. Il have re-
fused hunting permits to my best
friends" said he yesterday. The rea-
son given for this unusual care Is that
the ranchers fear fire. Feed is scarce
on the foothills and none can be spared
to devastation by flames. Thls sum-
mer, also, the thousands of head OF
cattle on the three O'Neil ranches must
be put through the Texas fever tick
dip, which is severe ordeal, and they
must be in good condition, which they
would not be if the feed ran short.

ed by the Dyas-Cline sporting house,

hour Accompanied by friend, we
came to a clearing one day and, simul-
taneously, about a million doves.

Ben Warrington returned yesterday
from an extended hunting trip. Ben is
looking healthy and his trip was bene-
fetal to him, from an outing stand
point, if not by the weight of his game
bag.

the keepers of the insane ward at the
county hospital. left Saturday for q
two weeks vacation at Monte Vista
Accompanying him We're his family

board that mandamus proceedings will
be begun at once 10 prevent the city
from collecting from Martz.

Aid. Wing. IF these people have been

and pay the cost"
Assessor Doran suggested that the

any tax-dodgers In their state.
IT'S the rich who think of these
schemes-the poor have 10 pay their
