THE SNOWFALL NUISANCE.

There was but one case before the
Police Court this morning, that 9
six negro boys who were cnafgsa
with congregating upon a dhuren cor :
n 'i.s in n the northwestern section q
the city, also in front Of store
and a cobbler's shop and snowbalins
every person who passed. They had
h,.olen windows in the cobbler's shop
and had treated with disrespect any
one who demonstrated with them.
The police cited eight to appesR
IN the court this morning. SIX re-
sponded, but the others were non
east inventus. They will be afres:eS
as soon as located.
All but two attempted to prove
ahbis. but it was shown that 1he
others were regular loungers on
the corners and participants in the
snowbalhngs. They were fined ~
Zach and warned that should they re-
appear in court the assessment woo''
be SIS.
There have in past years Dee'
cases in this city where boys nave
lost their sight by being struck II
the eye by snowballs. It IS a com
mon procedure for youths to form
bah and place it in water until l
freezes. The damage when strucf
bv such a missile is equal to that Of
stone.
Snowballing at Wright's School
near Oak Grove, fredericksburg, Md,
proved fatal yesterday to Wilson
Henry Dukes, 14-year-old son Of
, Frederick w. Dukes. The little lei
low was shot in the eye d year age
bv an older brother, and YESTERDAY
he was hit in the same eye with
SNOWFALL thrown by one OF nj
schoolnlates. An abscess formed
causing his death.

BIG GAME HUNT THE MOUNTAINS OF WYOMING

tains of that state. Clyde Cripe and
left Condor on the train September l8
at 8 A. M. and arrived at Montpelier,
Idaho, at $3.50 P. M. the next day. The
remainder Of that day and that night
we spent at Montpelier and got away
the next day on the auto stage for
Alton, Wyoming, a distance Of 55 miles.
The route we travelled led US over a
very rough mountain road which reached
an altitude of 5000 feet in places but
we arrived in Alton safely at $3.50 in
the afternoon and hired Mr.. Aired to
take us by auto down the Salt River
valley to the Vail ranch on the Snake
river. Salt River runs through beau
tiful valley about so miles in length
and about three miles wide. The alti-
tude of the valley averages about $500
feet and about $4,000 people make
their homes there. Fully 95 per cent
of these people are Normons and the
average family has ten children while
some have l5 or l6. After arriving at
the Vail ranch we hunted grouse and

empty gun. We proceeded through
the Grand Canyon for-l5 miles, crossed
the river at the bend and made camp.
The fishing here was unusually good
for Snake river is full of cutthroat
Trout at this point and we landed a
number of wo-pounders while there.
Next morning we packed and soon left
the river and went east over the north
end of the Wyoming range at an ele-
walton of at least ll,00N feet and about
a o'clock camped on the side of a noun
tain on the west side of Willow Creek
and about seven miles south of the
Hoback river. Here the guides de-
cided to look around for elk sign so
Leon and l went south along the ridge
and had reached about one mile from
camp when we heard big buD elk
whistle about hundred yards ahead
of u.s. The timber was very thick and
we could not SEE him but presently we
could make out part of his horns and
side so fred and down he went with
his back broken. We ran up and
had to shoot him through the neck to
finish him and now had killed the first
elk had sver seen alive in the woods.

fished for two days with much success
while Mr.. Vail got his outfit ready and
on October 20 we got away with pack
train and outfit that would have made
Teddy Roosevelt envious. While talk
ing to Grandmother Vail she had told US
that when the "dude hunters" came
her son, W. c., always dropped every
thing to get ready to be off so in this
way we found that we were classed as
'dude hunters" Mr.. Vail had hired
Leon Livingston to be my guide and
furnish my horse and | want to say
that no hunter ever went into the
mountains with better saddle horse
and more agreeable guide than had.
Clyde could not make this boast, espe.
cially in regard to his horse which was
an old gray plug, 26 years old, that
continually kept turning off to the
right. Vail furnished clyde one spur
and he tried it on the other foot with
no result. When starting out Vail told
US to carry our rifles on our saddles as
we might see, bear but after we had
gone few miles Clyde discovered that
his ammunition had all been put in one
Of the packs and he was carrying an
Condon globe. (Condon, Gilliam Co., Or.) 189?-1919, 1918-12-20

He had massive long horns with six
points on each side. We returned to
camp after dark and found that Clyde
and his guide had returned to camp
after sighting one COW elk. Next day
Leon and | took three pack horses and
went after the big elk and we worked
all day taking care of the hide and
the meat. Clyde and Vail went out on
foot in the forenoon with no success
and came to camp at noon very much
out of humor. Vail blamed Clyde Tor
making too much noise going through
the brush with his canvas coat and
Clyde declared that Vail made Just as
much noise with his corduroy pants
and offered to compromise--he would
take his coat off if Vail would take off
his pants. However, they tried again
riding in the afternoon and went two or
three miles farther south over the
mountain. Here they saw 45 elk but
did not get shot at good bull. The
next day we all hunted until noon with
no success and then packed and went
to the upper camp eight miles further
up Willow creek. There is good sheep
hunting from this camp on the east side
Condon globe. (Condon, Gilliam Co., Or.) 189?-1919, 1918-12-20

and plenty of elk in every direction.
Next day we all went south up the
creek and half mile from camp Leon
and | turned west up ridge. We saw
plenty of elk sign but as they stay in
the brush all day this time of the year
it is hard to get shot at a bull. About
one o'clock we located what seemed to
be a big buck, judging by his whistle,
but we had to wait until $50 in the
evening before we saw any elk and by
that time cows. calves and yearlings
began to come out of the thicket until
we counted 100 head and finally the
bull came out but he had smelled us
and could not get closer than 400
yards. | tried shot at him with my
- high power slide action Remington
and at the sound of the gun he stag
gered down the hill but gathered him
self and started on after the cows. He
did not go over quarter of mile be-
fore he fell. shot through the lungs.
Elk No. 2 had six points on each side,
a 4t-.nch spread with very long slim
points.

evening and reported that. he had killed
