MOUNTED BULL MOOSE RECEIVED BY HUNTERS. Bartow, Jan. 3.—Last summer J. A. Johnson, Dr. H. 0. Cox and J. R. vavis with their families, all of Bar- tow, spent several months in Que- bec, Canada, hunting and fishing. When they came back home they re- ported that they had killed two or three bull moose, but their stories were often received with a degree of allowance, until yesterday when the proof came in. The proof came by way of express in the shape of two mounted bull moose heads of immens: size. Last September, while the party were Lunting in the Province of Quebec, they killed several moose, and they had two of the largest heads mount- ed and sent here, and today a con- stant stream of people has been view- ing these heads. The largest bull moose was killed by J. A. Johnson, cur Circuit Court clerk-elect, and his antlers measure 57 inchs from tip to tip. This animal iz said to have weighed 1,300 pounds and to Lave been 9 years old. The antlers of the other one measure 40 inches from tip to tip, and he weighed about 1,000 pounds, and was about 6 years old. TOEATON OF B0R MEETS JEAE JN.
