SCI'KKIOU, Wis., Aug. 5. (A') Having revealed himself a crack pistol shut, and with the biggest catch of fish yet to his credit this 1 summer, President Coolldge was ) ready to settle down again to roii ' line life at Cedar Island lodge to- atter an overnight visit to the estate of Charles K. Lewis, of .Minneapolis, at Lewis, Wis. Not satisfied with exhibiting his prowess with rod and fly by catch- iiik during the first hoars of his i stay at Lewis more than L'5 trout, a i greater number than the Wlseon j sin game laws allow lo he caught in a day on open streams. Presi dent i 'oolidge astonished even his ! closest companions of years by calmly shooting a crane at 1'u yards with a .ax automatic pistol. The visit to Lewis, which bewail yesterday afternoon following a I two hour ride from Superior, was Jtull of 'thrills lor all those con i cerned. Kven Mrs. Coolldge ami i her son, John, had the unusual ) pleasure tit' swimming In a pool. I .Mis.

Cnolidge's skill with a pistol j was demonstrated on the Seven ; Pines creek, which crosses thf ! Lewis estate, as ho and .Mr. Lewis and a secret service operative were .in a boat. M r. t 'oolidg was out lw,ily busy fishing, with his eyes least down on the -water when one of the cranes which Infest the region, circled over the stream. 1 Without moving or a p pa rent ly i looking at the bird, the chief exec jiitive rapped out tu the secret ser vice man: !

The bird flopped away wounded ami was killed by another secret service man in a boat which followed the presi dent's, "You are two dollars richer, Mr. Pii'sldent," Mr. Lewis said, after the bird had been brought to shore; In reply to tin? puzzled gaze Jot his guest, .Mr. Lewis explained that he had promised a tw'o dollar bounty for every cjane shot on his estate.
