 NOTHING ON MESAITES
Splendid Duck Hunting at Florence Reservoir; Mesa SPortsmen Re
 turn With Limit.

The weekly pilgrimage to the res crvoir near Florence is getting to be a regular thing with many of the business men of Mesa. Up there the ducks are plentiful, and the shoot ing club which was formed by the sportsmen of Florence. with mem hership open to the citizens of sur rounding cities, has erected com modious club house, with bath sleeping quarters, dining room and the services of a chef in connection herewith. all under the capable man agement Of Mir. Ii. Wedgworth. Boats and duck blinds and rafts are at the disposal of all members, and sup plies of all sort can be purchased at the club house. Therefore. it is not to he wondered at, with these facili- ties at their disposal, that many homes are desolated on Sundays.
 In this connection, the common Cor earden) variety of excuses. with which most returned hunters regale their friends and acquaintances are, despite their frequent use still in teresting and convincing. A party rom Mesa which left here last Fri 6ay afternoon. returning late Satur- day night. furnishes fair example. Upon interview, the following was elicited:

air as high as I could and clutched at them as they passed. I think l must have overdone il, for I jumped off the bank into d mud hole, where I stuck from sunup till sundown, and it was not until after dark, and the ducks had quieted down and stopped quacking sufficiently so that my friends could hear my agonized cries, that I was rescued"
 r. F. Fuller: "I did a very foolish thing. The very first shot l had brought down an enormous mallard, slightly wounded only. As he got Up and started to run, l took after him and, being fast on my feet. I slowly but surely overlook him. Once in striking distance I brought my gun down upon his back as hard as I could, thinking this time would surely slay him, and as a matter Of fact the desired result was achieved But at what a cost, I bent the gun barrel and though I did not notice it until my return to Mesa. I know that 9ll day I was shooting No. I shot directly into the ground at my feet This has taught me a lesson. t"
