where quail hunting was indulged in
fur three days. Two wagon loads, con-
sisting of bed clothing, cooking uten-
sil.- and provisions, and three private
conveyances carried the party to the 1
destination. The hunt, as usual was
prolific wi'h amusing incidents. Mr.
Kd. Uabensburg proving himself the
"wit" of the crowd. About two miles
west of town a house cat. peacefully
meandering the public road, waj mis-
taken for a large red fox and met an
untimely death at the hands of Mr. C.
K. Haynio. He expressed sorrow at
bis mistake, but the cut was dead.
Camp was struck about 4 o'clock, and
all save Mr. Rabensburg and the tw •
cooks, went hunting, bagging sufficient
game for supper. Kd. Rabensburg over
exerted himself and was indisposed tiie
first night out, but quite recovered him-
self the next day. Five large greeu
heads were slaughtered and a magni-
ficent report followed next day.
After sup[ er, yara spinning was in-
dulged in. and as Mr. R. expresses it,
'a dollar show was'nt in it.' A good oid
fashioned "blue whistler" mad" its ap-
pearance. but no inconvenience re.
