The two boys had gone to the Jain

chores and putting in the rest of the
time hunting grouse. They were out
In the afternoon and had gone to a
small canyon near the w F. Sherrod
ranch and Don had taken one side of
the canyon and William the other
They had had good luck shooting as
neither had missed a shot thus far.
They were supposed to be opposite
each other, but Don in some way had
gotten a little ahead of William,
when a bird flew up and William
fired, killing the bird, and portion
OF the charge hitting Don in the face
and neck, he evidently being in line
with the bird.
Upon Don's exclamation that he

'gg in it. a
From the fact that Moscow sent S
'ver team that was more than twice o
he size of the Genesee boys, and t

would win against the team of boys
n the Genesee team, who were near
y all small and much younger and
ad had but little practice at football. "
fowever, it was good practice for II
he boys and while they only made m
i've points to Moscow's 55, they are R
OF kicking at the result, but it was 81
ardly fair to bring two teams to f;
lean-up team of yong boys fl
