shot through the right hind leg stopped
his flight, and another through the
neck brought him tumbling down the
| hill To make sure of him, Frank
Webber gave him a shot after the deer
was stone dead, but Frank wasn't tax
| ing any chances.
While this buck was still rolling down
the hill another spike tried to make his
getaway, but a bullet which passed
right through his body and out at the
base of the neck put an end to this
deers career. And while the excited
hunters were bleeding their last kill
another big buck bounded into the open
within forty yards of the surprised
men. One quick shot settled the last
| deer and before the hunters could re-
alize what had happened every mem
ber of the party had deer to carry
| into camp.
In the excitement the large buck
which had been shot at first was al
most forgotten, but thorough search
OF the spot where he was seen to ran
revealed no trace of the first target
This lucky bunch of hunters felt, how
| ever. only too we'll repaid for their
afternoons hunting.
T. p. Pendleton. H. Goff and r. d.
| Middleton left yesterday evening for

A large deer was seen recently from
the veranda of the Roseblne ranch
near Acton. One of the mighty hunt
ers of the ranch appeared on the scene,
but. although firing five shots, was un-
| able to even scare the buck. Ere
| sumably the same buck was jumped
next day by a large number OF hunt
ers, but managed to dodge thirteenl
shots. and from last reports Is still
running. Friday another party of
hunters were afforded a running shot
at buck in the pines, but were una
BILE to drop the prize.
Fred jerks and Cole Hebert leave
this morning for a days deer hunt on
Brown mountain near Altadena, where

Despite the fact that every effort has
been made by the anglers of the Com
| fort, which has just returned from
| trip to Ensenada, Mexico, to land blue
! fin tuna, the party has not been sue
| cessful. Several times during the voy-
age large schools of fish have been
| seen, but no bats or lures the anglers
! possessed would induce the fish to take
/ the hook. Some of the fish seen were
estimated to weigh over 300 pounds
each. On board the Comfort were
/ Commodore c. G. Conn, DIR. and Mrs.
Vialas and a crew of six persons. Both
Commodore Conn and DIR. Vialas are
old-time tuna fishermen. The distance
travelled was about 900 miles. Commo-
dore Conn said yesterday: "The fishing
south of San Diego was very poor.
Around San Clemente, and especially
at the west end Of this island, how
ever, 1t was all that could be desired.
Upon three-six tackle our party
brought to gaff an average of twenty
yellowtail daily while fishing there. The
largest fish caught upon this tackle was
a yellowtail weighing 311a pounds.
Black sea bass, barracuda, albicore,
white sea bass and bonita took the
bait given them very freely. In all 1t
was one of the most enjoyable two
weeks have ever spent in my life"
