thick. hunters sure do queer things.
A short while ago Johnny Muller of
Cordova bank fame fell a victim to
the hunting fever. Now, John is ap
parently in full possession of all his
faculties when handling your money;
but when he got there amongst those
ducks and took careful aim of several
at one time, the front of the boat just
naturally seemed to rise up and get
in the way. Anyway, John shot off
both barrels of the gun right through
the bow of the boat. Johnny refuses
to discuss what happened after that,
but it is safe to say that he probably
either swore or fainted. Intimate
friends of the young man are kind
enough to believe that he was labor
ing under the temporary delusion that
here was a whopper of a new species
of duck called the “gondola.”

is, the popular college slumber party.
The persons implicated are: AValter
Doolittle, Bill Keffer, Chuck Olsen and

job in cleaning up the house after
wards.
