At Shell Mound Park. 
Emeryville, Call, Jan. 21.—The “Nationals” held their 
regular monthly medal shoot on the Shell Mound Range 
to-day. With forty-five members in attendance they took 
aim with the old .45 Springfield at the Blunt target at 
200yds. range. Weather conditions were perfect for 
good scores and as early as 9 A. M. the first shots were 
fired, and a constant banging away at the targets was 
kept up all day until 5 P. M., not even taking time 
for dinner at noon. 
_ Sergeant A. R. Coons had the high score until late 
in the afternoon, then Sergeant F. J. Povey beat him 
one point, making a 47 out of a possible 50. Povey was 
high man for the day. Coons, with 46, was second, and 
Corporal Orth was third with 46. being beaten by Creed- 
moor rules. Lieut. H. W. Mitchell was fourth with 45.

Pistol Club was held here to-day and with rain enough 
to soak all the targets, so that they looked like a wet 
rag. We shot a 50-shot match for a silver spoon on U. 
S. R. A. targets. 
W. A. Shiebe won, having a handicap of ten points 
over H. A. Harris. He only won by three points, his 
score being 451. With the handicap of ten points his 
total was 461, while Harris made a dandy score, his total 
being 458. 
We then shot a 30-shot match for another spoon, and

INDIAN ANGLERS. 
(Continued from page 147.) 
go fishing in the Oconalufty River, which all the 
Indians shorten, and call the ’Lufty. He stepped 
to the porch of one of the neatly kept log houses 
in which all these Indians live and took one of 
a number of admirably made baskets of cane, 
large at the bottom and small at the top, and 
hung this around his neck, then took his long 
reed pole. By his side hung a gray mass, which 
upon examination was found to be four wasps’ 
nests with cells quite Well filled with young 
grubs, the openings being closed, while two or 
three full grown wasps very sullenly moved 
about over the surface of the nests, as if they 
were dazed. 
David said the Cherokees are very partial to 
wasp grubs as fish bait, and that Jim Tail was 
“mighty well fixed,’’ and added that the Indians 
made a little torch out of dried leaves or a bit 
Y OU know mallards—wisest and wariest of all 
ducks—Solomons of the air. You can’t knock 
down mallards with a paddle nor can you get them 
with a gun that plasters its shots all over the face 
of creation. 
A mallard shot is generally a long shot, and long 
shots require a hard-shooting, close-shooting gun. 
That’s why the long-headed man who goes to a 
mallard country takes a Lefe^ier. When he swings 
it on a towering pair of mallards he does not ques¬ 
tion the result. He know it— 
TWO CLEAN KILLS 
The reason a Lefever kills clean and sure and 
far is Lefever Taper Boring. 
But if you buy a Lefever for the taper boring 
alone, you will get more than your money’s worth. 
For instance, you will never be handicapped with 
looseness at the hinge joint. The exclusive Lefever 
screw compensates for a year’s wear by a trifling 
turn that you make yourself with a screwdriver. 
LEFEVER 
SHOT GUNS 
Sixteen other exclusive Lefever features and Lefe¬ 
ver simplicity and strength make the S 28 gun the 
peer of any $50 gun on the market. Upwards to 
Ji.ooo. Send for freecatalog and get Lefever wise.

of paper, held this under a wasp’s nest and 
smoked the grown wasps out. Then he told 
Jim Tail what he had said, whereat the latter 
smiled and said it was a mistake; that he hadn’t 
used any fire at all, but had taken the nests from 
the wasps with only his hands and his hat, and 
he was going to use the baby wasps as bait. 
These Indians always use this sort of bait, and 
find it very effective. 
The fish baskets as well as other basketry made 
by these Indians are beautiful, not only in de¬ 
sign, but in richness of color. They are very 
fond of bright colors, wear feathers in their 
hats and in various other ways make themselves 
picturesque. Fred A. Olds. 
EXCITING FOX HUNT ON CAPE COD. 
O’er bogfs and rocks we chased the fox 
From Pleasant Lake to Brewster,

That loves to dine on rooster! 
Reynard is very much in evidence around 
here this season, and the sports are having a 
great time, says Michael Fitzgerald, of East 
Brewster, in the Yarmouth (Mass.) Register. 
One day recently, James Gaboon started a big 
fellow at Pleasant Lake and headed him for 
Brewster. Right through South Brewster and 
Brewster Center, reynard set a great pace. The 
dogs kept the scent in fine style and there was 
much excitement when the hunting party
