OLD HUNTING GANG REPEATS
It's just taken for granted that
when a certain gang of Heppner
hunters go to the timber they never
come back empty handed. This year
was no exception as "Captain" Ed
Bennett, "Killer" Sag Bisbee, "Chief
Cook" Charlie Cox, "Packer" Luke
Bibby, "Assistant Cook" Gene Fer
guson and "Dish Washer" Dave
Wilson returned the first of the week
from their hunt in the high moun
tains. Each had his quota of buck.
The titles are those assigned by the
gentlemen themselves, indicating
their usefulness around camp, and
probably have special significance
to those "in the know," Anyway, all
report a happy occasion which would
have been perfect but for Mr. Cox,
the postmaster, acquiring a distress
ing attack of tonsilitis which kept
him confined to camp for a couple
of days. In spite of the tonsilitis,
Charlie wouldn't be kept down and
filled his cooking assignment de
spite objection of his fellows, say re
ports. Bisbee is credited with slay
ing a nice 69-pound buck, reporting
at camp that "there was a nice small
one with him but he got away."
Let G. T. Want Ads help you dis
pose of surplus stock.
