 Phoenix Democrat: Frank lew, Jr an employe of the Democrat. who has been in the mountains out from Wenden on two week ; hunting trip, returned today. He brings with him hardluck story. something like this: I've jumped band of eleven deer. There seem ed to be but one buck in the lot, and he came directly towards me. 1 waited for him. and got two shots with 30 30 rifle, but missed. The reason 1 missed was because one of the boys who had jumped the deer began shooting at the same thing | was shouting at. and he was directly in line with the deer and myself. It took me all my time trying to warn him that 1 was just about where his bullets were falling. He was using a sm Il-bore rife. but the bullets fell like cannon balls about me. The deer escaped unhurt, and the baud of eleven is still browsing on the hills" Quail are very plentiful in the Wpnden section, says lew.
