 Editor Recreation : 



H. Wort, of Maryvale, Wyo., killed a 

 mountain lion, with a. 22 caliberWinches- 

 ter rifle, a short time ago. His dog ran 

 the lion up a tree and Mr. Wort shot at 

 it several times. Finally he succeeded 

 in hitting it in the eye, which killed it. 

 The lion measured 8 feet.

 Editor Recreation : 



I have just returned from a hunting 

 trip in the Rockies. We employed as 

 guides Gideon and Willis Winegar, and 

 I would like to use enough of your space 

 to say to brother sportsmen that these 

 men are thoroughly competent and reli- 

 able in every way. They can and will 

 at almost any time, take sportsmen to 

 elk, bear, antelope or mountain sheep, 

 as desired. Their post-office address is 

 Egin, Fremont county, Idaho. I should 

 be glad to give any further information 

 regarding them that may be desired.

 Editor Recreation : 



I have just returned from a hunting 

 trip in the Shoshone Mountains, with a 

 party of tourists. We were gone from 

 the railroad nineteen days and got six 

 large elk, all of which had fine horns. 

 We saw a great many antelope, a num- 

 ber of deer, and a good deal of bear 

 sign. I have been in the Shoshones for 

 the last two months. The first trip I 



made there this summer, I saw over 

 a thousand elk and a number of deer, 

 though the latter are not so plentiful as 

 the former. We camped on Pacific 

 creek, near where Dr. W. A. Valentine 

 killed his elk. If any of your readers, 

 who may think of coming out here hunt- 

 ting, will write me, I will gladly give 

 them any information possible as to the 

 game or the country.

Lieutenant Alex. T. Dean, U. S. A., 

 writing from the Sequoia National Park 

 in Tulare county, California, says : 



" This is, as far as my experience 

 goes, the finest fishing and hunting 

 country on the earth. I have been 

 stationed here, with my troop, as super- 

 intendent of the Park, since last July, and 

 have been in the field since last April. 

 Have had some magnificent sport with 

 big game and fish, having taken many 

 mountain trout weighing three to five 

 pounds each." 



The following is from the Gazette, 

 of Stevens Point, Wis. : 



The tourists who left here, last week, on a 

 trip to the west, are evidently having a good 

 time, judging by the reports from Ada. Mont., 

 where they stopped for a few days. Frank Lam- 

 oreux had an encounter with a skunk, Crosby 

 Grant killed a nice tender young owl, and the 

 honors in hunting are divided between the first 

 named and Frank Wheelock. 



Charles H. McChesnev, S. B. Wil- 

 liams, City Treasurer, and one or two 

 other gentleman of Rochester, have 

 lately returned from a successful hunt- 

 ing trip in the North Woods.
