James, together with Al Tctzol and John Lawrence, tho Consolidated "Wagon and Machine company's Vcllc exports, ex-ports, drove the Velio something ovor 2B0 miles on Sunday last on a dcor hunt near Promontory. Tho abovo cut will show tho result. On the right, looking toward the picture, is shown a tlvc'-ycar-old buck weighing about 350 pounds, and on tho left 1b shown a four-year-old buck. These fine specimens were shot at a dls-tanco dls-tanco of nearly 600 yeard.5? on a running flro, and both Messrs. Tctzcl nnd law-rencc. law-rencc. who served In the Phlllpplno war, i I demonstrated their ability as crack shots. Mr. James, the owner of the Vclle car, Htales that ho never saw such rapid firing fir-ing In his life, and every shot struck tho older buck, and tho poor animal ran a. considerable distance after he was shot the tenth timo. Evidently the State street garago boys thought they were on tho firing lino and were popping over Filipinos. Tho car, with Its load, returned lo this city without a break, demonstrating tho carrying capacity of the Vcllc. It was first decided after shooting tho big buck to make chase with tho automobllo. but owlng to several deop ravines which are full of fallen timber, they were prevented from making chaso In tho car, otherwiso other-wiso thero would havo been no difficulty diffi-culty In running down olthor of these with tho Velio. Theso spocImen3 wero exhibited Saturday Satur-day morning at tho premises of the Consolidated Con-solidated Wagon and Machine, company, and to say that Mr. James and Messrs. Tctznl and Lawronco wero proud but puts it mildly. Large sums wero offered for the meat and for tho heads, which aro to be mounted. |
