MACK'S LOVING FRIENDS
ARE NOW SUGGESTING
GUN MINUS SAFETY
There are lots of geese In the
west end of the county.' So far as
Mack Foster Is concerned, there
probably will be just as many for
quite some time. ; The a portly
farmer and sportsman has had
his goose hunt and after three
days, killed his goose. The other,
99 are still breathing the glorious,
air of life and freedom.
Mr. Foster has a ranch out
northwest, where geese are wont
to congregate. Ife went hence a
few duys ago, dug pits and hunt
ed. At least 100 came to his
lanch, his friends say. Some
aluihted upon his hut, the more
forward friends say; although
this is not substantiated,. At any
rate, Mr. Foster killed one of the
biros.
One reason advanced for the
light casualty list is Mr. Foster's
accusation that Sol Buom sold'
him shells without shot in them. .
Another Is that they don't make
guns without safeties. The fact
that the safety on Mr. Foster's gun
was on Is blamed for most of the
difficulty.
