 Bob Huddleston came back from his deer hunt pretty sore. He scared up a big deer out near Kendrick noun tain. He followed the deer around the mountain three times and couldn't get close enough for good shot. Fin ally, siezed with brilliant thought, he put the rife barrel across his knee and bent the barrel slightly. Then he fired shot in the direction he knew the deer was going. In few moments the deer came around the mountain, running like the wind, and not fifty feet behind him came the bullet. Bob got excited and edged over toward the path the deer had taken. In three or four minutes more around the noun tain came the deer again, passing within three feet of Bob. Just as the deer ran past, the bullet, which had been steadily gaining on the deer, perhaps because the animal was get ting tired, took Bob right smack in the waistband. But for a big belt buckle Bob would have had to be brought in under some other power than his own. He says the next time he tries that trick he'll know enough to stay off the track.

"Last time l was down there, a month or so ago, saw q rabbit run out into the petrifed forest. It didn't get inside more than hundred feet before it turned to stone. Few minutes later bird flew up and lit on one of the petrified trees and began to sing. Inside of two min utes it changed to stone and the song it was singing was also petrified and hung down from the beak of the bird solid stone"
