Shoots Pair Of Park euffaloes-A
bull and an elk buffalo at Fejervary
park were shot by Emil Berg of Berg
Bros. at the request of Commissioner
Cochin at the park. In shooting the
animals Mr. Berg demonstrated again
the truth of the statement of Colonel
W F Cody buffalo BID that the
rifle was never made that would shoot
a bullet which would penetrate the
I forehead OF a buffalo" After dispos-
ing OF the elk by a clean shot in the
heart with 22-calibre high power
Savage rifle, Mr Berg then prepared to
shoot the bull. Standing a few PAGES
awoy he shot at the animals head
/ The bullet merely caused a slight
stampede. however. He used 30
calibre military rife. He fired a sec
! ond shot at the bull. this time shooting
at the heart and the big animal fell.
Mr. Berg has had a great deal of eX-
perience in hunting animals and he
usually brings them down with the
first shot This is the second bull
have tried 10 kill by penetrating the
front OF the SKULL he said. 1T seems
that the heavy mating of hair offers
the resistance which prevents the bull
let from entering the front of the
head" The elk and buhaloes killed
have been purchased by Ed. Brehmer.
August Martzahn and Emil Matson.
The three additional buffaloes to be
killed have also been purchased by
the same gentlemen. The meat will bs
