The potatoes put in the ashes on

the hunt is over seems to be a part
of the sport. There are plenty for all

A 'possum is cleaned pretty much

have taught me much. We used to
bake the 'possum whole wioh the po-
tatoes packed about it, and this was
good enough for heavens sake. But
we have learned that this way is

was always something a little disagr' {

Got the Cattle

: .S6;here comes the story Cal Tai
hot is telling ON George Heller.
Last week Geo: Holman, of the
urn of Heller & Holman, shippe,
a couple of loads Of fine cattle to
this city from the west and they
were unloaded by his partner Hell
Ter, who told all the boys about
what a fine lot they were. And
he was right, too. They weigh
ed about 900 pound each and also
carried fresh brands, one on tn
side and one on the ear. George
Land was pretty well impressed
with their value from Heizer's
story and told him to send them
out to his place. Heller got a
helper and went down to the
yards, opened the pens and drove
the bunch out to the Land
place. When Land got home he
looked them over and then be
phoned to Heller telling him he
didn't want the stuff he had
t-o1ght out, that they were runty
and wouldn't average 700 pounds
] -)i2ce. Heller knew there wa
some mistake, so wnt to the yard
and found his fine cattle. He
had gone to work and driven a
runty lot of stuff that had been
unloaded there during the day,
and didn't notice that his cattle
were in another part of the yards
He had to go out to Lands anG
not only drive them back but cut
In, out of the bunch there as
well. This is what Cal tells
about it and Heller isn't saying
anything. a
