LOTS OF HUNTING IN SPAIN
Use of Firearms Very Extensive, ow-
ing to the Sporting Proclvities
Of the People.

The use Of firearms is very extern
sive in Spain Hunting is SO popular
that 20,G90000 empty sporting cart
ridges were imported into Spain last
year and of these 100000 entered
the port of Valencia alone. More
than two-thirds of the total are of
ordinary and low grade quality, cost
ing about 55 cents hundred unload
cd. but there IS also a limited mar
ket for very high grade sporting cart
ridges with deep metallic lining,
adapted for heavy charges of smoke
less powders, which are imported
from Great Britain and the United
States and are retailed at from 81 45
to $19S a hundred according to length
and finish.
The natural sporting proclivities Of
the inhabitants of Valencia are foster
ed by the proximity Of the Albufera
an extensive marshy lake visited in
the fall and winter by myriads Of wild
duck, coots and other water fowl
that migrate from northern Europe,
! while the forest wastes and arid
( brushwood hills of the interior are
moderately stocked with red part
ridge, hares and rabbits. All the
moist, cultivated valleys following the
course of streams are also visited In
the spring and summer by migratory
quail that come over from North Al
RIGA.
I Trade in sporting guns, pistols and
revolvers Is of considerable impor-
! lance, but only the very high grades
are imported Nearly all medium quail
ity, ordinary and low priced products
are manufactured in the country,
mostly at Eibar, In the Basque prov
inces in the north OF Spain. where
excellent workmen, many of whom
study at the leading arms factories
Of Birmingham and Liege, make al
most every form OF gun, rife, pistol
and revolver. The barrels are usually
| imported In the rough from Great
Britain or Belgium, and are bored and
finished at the Spanish factories.

"A hog has lot more sense than

thing that impressed me: AT a little
southern town or village went

eating place and the train reached
that point at about the noon hour. |

the sandwiches were thrown out, saw

OVER THE SHOSHONE FALLS
Except Fish, Red Collie Is Only Ami.
NAL That Has Made Plunge
and Survived.

The only living thing except the fish
that has ever gone over the Shoshona
Falls In Idaho and came through alive
Is Shep, red collie belonging to a
hotel man In Shoshone, At Shoshone
the Snake River plunges into cavern
with less than foot between the sur
face of the rushing waters and the
roof of jagged rock. Sharp.toothed
rocks bristle above the swiring cur
rents. and cruel stones project from
the slippery sides. From this sub
terranean passage the river energies
on the edge OF great canyon, over
the brink Of which it dashes In a
laundering cataract of foam and spray
go feet to the abysmal depths below.
The falls OF Shoshone are sixty feet
higher than Niagara Falls.
A child pulled Shops plumy tall one
day and Shep bit the child. For this
he was promptly condemned to death
by his owner, who took him to Snake
river and threw him In just outside
the cavern, and when Shep, battling
bravely for his life was swept out OF
sight into its mysterious mouth, he
was considered a dead dog.
Half an hour later boy hurried into
the hotel and informed Shops master
that his collie was sitting on half
submerged rock below the falls how
ling for help. Filled with remorse,
the dogs owner fastened to his res
cue with ropes aud a boat, and half
Shoshone attended Shops triumphal
return to his home, where his penitent
owner gave him the best in the larder
and a soft cushion behind the bar for
the rest OF his Gays Beyond few
trifling scratches and the loss of his
toe nails, the dog was none the worse
for his terrible experience

WINS Boarding ship for British
Guiana and Dangerous Gang
~ Broken Up.

New York.--On information fur
inished by his sweetheart, after secret
service agents had led her to believe
he had deserted her for another. AL
bert Leon, Russian political refugee
and alleged counterfeiter for whom
the federal agents have been search
ing for weeks, was arrested In the OIL
flee of the Dutch Royal West india
STEAMSHIP company in New Ycrk CITY.
Leon had just purchased ticket TOT
one of the ships of that line sailing
for British Guiana. He was taken be-
fore Commissioner Shields and re-
manded to the Tombs for further
hearing. Leon is wanted by the fed
leral authorities in Los Angeles, Den
yer, Chicago and number of other
cities In the west, where, 1t Is alleged,
he passed numerous counterfeit $40
and $40 national bank certificates
Efforts Of the secret service men to
get clew to his whereabouts during
the many weeks they have been seek
ing him were without result until they
heard Of his sweetheart in Chicago.
A government agent visited her and
told her that Leon had deserted her
and that he had become infatuated
with another girl. The girl. in jeal-
'ous rage, told the agent of Leon's
plans to sail for British Guiana and
of his whereabouts in New York city.
Leon, the secret service men de-
clared, had plant" on Nootka is
land, British Columbia, where he gid
his counterfeiting. He Is an expert
engraver and color mixer, and worked
with only few coHfederates, it is
said
Leon is alleged to have perfected a
process by which he photographed the
face of note In manner that looked
SO much like surface printing that
many experts declared it to have been
printed from etched plate. Two OF
Icons alleged confederates were ar
rested in Chicago, charged with pass
ing some of the counterfeit money.
Leon arrived in this country about
three years ago, and took up sec
tion of land near Los Angeles, where
1t Is believed the first spurious notes
were made. In December. 1910, he
went to Nootka island In British Co
lumbia, and it Is charged that most OF
his counterfeit work came out on his
plant there.
The notes of the following national
banks, 1t is alleged, were counter
feited by Leon

National, Yuma, Ariz; First National,
Orange, CAL; Pasadena, Cal. National

Leon was also alleged to have coun-
terfeited the $40 United States Buffalo
note and to have circulated it on the
Pacific coast. The National bank notes
were circulated principally in Los An
gees. San Francisco Portland, Ore.
