TWO GOLDf|ELD
MEN GO HUNTING
TAKE RAMBLE THROUGH FISH
LAKE VALLEY IN
DARKNESS

Clyde Johnson, Ike BAR ana n.
l.. Morgan, steward in b Elks
club, went to Patterson's ranch in
Fish Lake valley Friday night to
leave there two colored men who
cooked the meat for the barbecue
held Sunday.
They took a wrong road and did
not realize it until they saw the
lights of Silver Peak. They con-
Guided they had been driving n a
circle and had returned to Gold
field. They entered the town, saw
their error, and again started for
the ranch. After again losing their
way and climbing half way up the
White mountains, they arrived at
the ranch seven hours after leaving
here.
The next morning before daylight
Johnson and Morgan arose and went
albatross hunting. In their search
for a lake on the ranch, which Pat
tcrson had described to them, they
crossed numerous bitches. AS they
came t. each ditch Morgan would

clear it with a big leap. Johnson
would walk right across and wait
for him. 1t was dark and Morgan
could not understand why Johnson
would always wade through the
mud and water instead of leaping
across, but he considered that to
be Johnson's business. He after
ward found there was no water in
The bitches.
The land finally became swampy
and later the water reached over
their shoe-tops. They could hear
great flocks of ducks take wing as
they advanced and had about o n
cluded they had reached the lake,
when the ground suddenly became
dry. They decided they had cross
ed a pretty wet piece of ground and
continued their search for the lake.
Hours later, when they failed to
return, Dave Patterson started out
to search for them. He found them
miles away, hiking for the Califor-
mia line, but thinking they were
making good time to the ranch
house.
They had crossed the lake" in
the darkness, scared all the ducks
off it, and becoming completely
turned around, unintentionally
started for California. The lake"
is a small irrigation pond and, al
though a great place for water
fowl. is at no point over IL inches
deep.
Later in the day the same pair
went rabbit hunting. They saw
plenty of them, but none near
enough to shoot. At a time when
Morgan had his back turned to
Johnson, he heard considerable
commotion from the latter. Johnson
excitedly yelled, Morgan, the -
tlipg is coming the wrong way"
Morgan looked around in time
to see the rabbit run directly be-
tween Johnson's legs.
On the return trip Morgan at
tempted to place the blame for all
their difficulties on Johnson and the
latter retailiated, with the result
that Bair heard everything that had
happened to them.
