HUNTERS PARADISE
 IN STORE WINDOW

If the camp scene which is now be- ing shown in the window of Brown x Hawkins could be shipped to New York it would probably be responsible for an awful amount of job assertions for never was more tempting bait thrown out to the over-worked and overcrowded to get away to the calm and freedom of the wilds.
 One should see the picture to req lize it. There is a camp fire which is a wonder. Over the fire hangs a pot from which protrude pedal ex- tremities which are presumably those of a delicious grouse. Around it are titanic Murphies. In every direction are the weapons of the chase and angling and through the open door of a tenc can be seen the luXuries which can be the more enjoyed after the beautiful labor with rod and gun. If you have not feaSted your eyes on that scene do so, and save the price of the trip itself.

 The trio have several times been accused of similar tricks, but their victims have heretofore refused to lodgc complaint. They frequent ta, roadhouses on the creeks, using the woman as a bait to catch the miners. On Tuesday last Mcclellan visited the Smiths and does not remember any thing after being given a drink. He is still in a dazed condition which physicians, who have examined him, declare is the result of some power ful drug.
