MESA HUNTERS LOSE TN DASH F0R PRIZE GUN FOR FIRST DEER

MESA. Oct. 2-Too disgusted with life to show themselves after they had learned from an apparently re- liaole source that the deer winning the rifle was already in Phoenix, a party of four Mesa hunters with as many deer to their credit arrived fn town Saturday afternoon shortly aft CT o'clock, took the back alley routes home and proceeded to dress their game. At o'clock one of the party learned that the winning buck was not yet in, but only the horns and head of his animal remained, not enough to claim the rifle; so w. G. Carpenter. who checked in at the Pinney & Robinson store in Phoenix at 6:s0 claimed the prize.
 The party of Mesa hunters which numbered Lafe LeBaron. A. W. Dana, Frank Belle and Del Cuff. got their quota early Saturday morning near Tortilla Flats. 40 miles east of Mesa but car trouble hampered their early arrival in the valley LeBaron shot his six year old. buck a mile from camp shortly before o'clock Sat- urday morning. The others got thetrs but little later and the party was | organized and on its way back to claim the rifle before g o'clock. | At Desert Wells. several miles east of Mesa. a blowout held them up for an hour or so- Four miles east of
 town motor trouble stalled them. and just as they were starting again at 2 o'clock an outgoing party of
 hunters took all the joy out of life l when they told the boys that they | had passed a car with buck tied over the hood the other side of Tenn pe-- Apparently the information was | true and the luckless hunters con- cluded the game was up. They did
 not show up in town. but took to
 their homes. Belle went on through
 Phoenix to his home in Glendale.
