There 1 was blowing like a porpoise 
and couldn’t get my gun to my shoul- 
der. The size of the deer and his ap- 
parent closeness awed me so I didn’t 
even think of shooting until he had 
gone over. Motioning to Hugh to fol- 
low we went over the top following, his 
tracks back, and saw where he had 
stood on an open ridge below us. Sev- 
eral does and fawns were on the top 
of this knob and they stared at us with 
open-eyed curiosity. We returned to 
camp, thoroughly convinced of the 
truth of the story about the big deer 
that lives on Lily Knob, who seems to 
be too wise for all the hunters. 
Bee following day we decided to 
visit the place where the sheriff 
and his crowd had camped in August 
and reported to have killed the eleven 
deer. It was five miles farther over at 
Buck Camp near the foot of Balm 
Mountain. It was a clear day and the 
scenery was beautiful on the way 
around. When we arrived at the camp 
we found where they had built a huge 
drying rack; where they had made 
their beds and behind a log found 
eleven empty whiskey bottles, one of 
which was half full of fairly good 
moonshine. This we concluded was 
partially responsible for the story of 
eleven bucks. An old bear had ap- 
propriated their camp and had rooted 
up their bed and made himself quite 
at home. 
That day Hugh killed a buck and 
Grover killed one also and as we had 
all the three horses could carry we de- 
cided to break camp next day and go 
down the mountain. 
In the morning it was snowing again 
like in the dead of Winter, but when 
we reached the river ten miles away, 
it was as warm as Summer, and there 
was dust in the road. No rain or snow 
since we were away; such a contrast 
in a few miles! On the road home my 
ford ‘fell apart and the body came off. 
Hugh came to the rescue and placed 
his famous diamond hitch about it and 
she held together perfectly.

passengers that weren’t scared, and 
they were already too dead to care. Our 
agile brained conductor finally man- 
aged to steer the rear end of his re- 
calcitrant mount into a sand hill, and 
the tragedy was averted. The Weber 
ranch lies thirty-eight miles from 
Mullen, and we reached home in time 
for luncheon.
