a couple Of fans severely criticise the
decision of Jimmy McAleer.
OF course, every one has his opinion,

must have looked mighty good to the
man who decided to give the Doctor a

in Dimmitt county, in Southeast

Mr.. Sam Lee, former citizen Of this

brought back very fine buck with
seven points, which was on exhibition
today in front of Cooper & Coles

of attention and old hunters pro
nounced him one of the finest speci

Mr.. Williams stated to an Eagle re-

section and his party succeeded in kill
ing seven deer, four wolves and one
wildcat. They report a most pleasant
trip.
