Perhaps Mr. Bryan wonld rather talk

Possibly it is true that the Boers are

TTTUI: HINTIM; STORIES.
A Single Shot that Struck Three Deer
—The Chase of Old (iolden -A
Home-Mnile Violin.
From Buffalo Express.
Closely following the Seneca Indians,
who had sold their title to the Caneadea
Reservation and gone, most of them, to
the Buffalo, Tonawanda, Cattaraugus
and Allegany reservations, came a class
of hardy adventurers, many of whom,
enamored of frontier life, were much
given to the chase. They were the born
children of the woods, brought up a3 it
were, with rifles in their hands, and
were acquainted with the nature and
habits of all the kinds of wild animals
which then infested the big woods of
Western New York.
The days of the wolf and bear had
passed and the fleet deer, so plenty in
the days of Bill Bennett and the Indian
hunters cf old Caneadea, had beeome
scarcer and more and more wary of
their stealthy foes, which called for
more patience and a higher degree of
skill on the part of the hunter to get a
shot at the timid creatures. This con
tributed considerably to the excitement
of the chase and gave to it a fascination
scarcely known to the earliest hunters,
and added correspondingly to the fame
of the successful hunter. Especially
was this the condition along the valley
of the Upper Genesee, and the veteran
hunters, like the Kingsleys, Cooleys,
Butlers, Van Nostrands, Bullocks and
Old George Parke, who had tracked
the deer over hills and valleys, over
crags and precipices even, had been
forced into retirement by the infirmi
ties of age, and were no longer able to
endure the long-distance chase.
At this juncture came the De Rocks,
fresh from among the hills of Delaware
County, where they were born aud
raised. They were a strange mixture
of blood. Of Spanish, French and
Indian ancestry, they inherited many
of the peculiarities and characteristics
of their several strains of blood. The
family name descended from the
French. There were a number of the
De Rocks—Reuben, now 86, and Cyrus
8., 80 years old, were the ones most
marked as hunters. Cyrus would hardly
be known by that name, as he had al
ways been known as Bona, a name
which his father bestowed upon him in
admiration of Napoleon Bonaparte,
and which Cyrus made still more ap
propriate in choosing his first wife,
whose name was Josephine. The co
incidence abruptly stopped there, as
Bona's Josephine was not divorced, as
was the great Napoleon's.
Rube and Bona were remarkably
good shots, and was not long after their
appearance in Caneadea before they
knew and were thoroughly acquainted
with all the features of hill and dale, of
mountain and valley, of stream and
gorge, of the Upper Genesee country
for many miles in all directions. They
were fleet of foot, excelled in endur
ance, and their exploits soon became
the talk of the day, and excited the
admiration, and, in some instances,
the envy of the few veteran devotees
of the chase who still lingered in the
territory of old Caneadea.
One of Bona's first adventures in the
Allegany woods happened one morning
when he shot a deer which the old
hunter Parker had started. He dressed
it, and hid the carcass under the fallen
trunk of a big tree. Parker, following,
found where it had been killed, but
failed to find his venson, though sitting
for awile to rest on the trunk of the
self-same tree.
One time Rube shot a deer which
fell daad, scarcely leaving his tracks.
Upon examination no mark of the ball
could be found. The post-mortem ex
amination revealed the ball lodged be
tween the shoulders, having pierced
the heart, whither it penetrated from
the rear. The deer had persisted in
standing with his head away from the
hunter, who, tired of waiting for a
better exposure, let drive with remark
able result.
Rube once caught a young fawn and
tamed it. It came to be very fond of
the place and family. The writer well
remembers seeing it about the premi
ses. It would come into the house at
meal time and the family would feed
it what it liked from the table. It was
soon a great pet. It became passion
ately fond of apple pie, so much so, in
deed, as to bo a nuisance, a real bother.
So they shut the fawn out at meal
time. One day while they were eating
their dinner from a table standing in
front of one of the windows the young
deer appeared and looked in. Quickly
discerning his favorite apple pie he took
the shortest course to get it. Result,
considerable confusion and innumer
able fragments of window glass. This
young deer strayed off a little too far
one day and some roving hunter, mis
taking it for a wild one, shot it.
The De Rocks made a finish of the
deer hunting business on the Genesee
about 40 years ago. Game becoming
so'scarce on the Genesee, Bona for
some years practiced going to the
Pennsylvania woods and camping out
through the hunting season. The
most wonderful shot Bona ever made
was in Pennsylvania. Getting sight of I
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 25, 1901.
a deer 011 a Hide hill below him, among 1
some fallen trees, he fired. It was a j
doe, and it ran away bleating like a !
lamb, and soon laid down and died.
Coming down to where the doe stood
when shot he found, behind a big log, a j
buck whose back had been broken by j
the ball and was dragging its paralyzed ;
hind parts along as best it could, while
still further on was a fawn shot through j
the bowels. It was no particular credit
to Rona though, for he had seen only 1
the one he shot at. It was a case of i
pure chance. But he killed seven more J
that day, which was the biggest days
achievement.
One time, somewhere in the neigh- j
borhood of Keating Summit, Bona and j
one Horace Stiles hunted a week on a
strife, not a wager really, but the one j
who killed the greatest number of deer
during the time was to have the best j
buck the other killed. Bona says
Styles was some years younger than he, !
and was accounted an exceedingly !
lucky hunter, if the term can be ap- !
plied to hunters. Bona scored 21 and |
Styles 20, just as close as it could be j
and not tie.
Bona once had Jeff Brown of Wilcox I
send to the factory and get him the j
barrel, lock and trimmings of a Win- j
Chester, 41 caliber and 28 inches long, !
at a cost of over §35. lie stocked and
sighted it himself, using for the stock a |
piece of black walnut taken from the
last tie that was laid when the Union
Pacific Railroad was completed. He
obtained the wood from an engineer
on that road, to whom it was given as a
souvenir. The engineer had taken to
drinking, spent all his money and
parted with it to Bona for §i, after
having refused SSO for it. With that
gun at ten rods Bona once planted ten
b alls in the same hole in a tree. Cut
ting the wood away revealed a ragged
mass ot lead well stuck together by the
force of the impact.
Tired of hunting in Pennsylvania,
where game had become scarce, Bona j
relinquished the chase, and went to |
the region of the Carbon coal mines
in Wyoming and engaged in watching
snow"sheds on the Union Pacific Rail
road. While there he killed two griz
zlies, a number of biack bears, several
ot the kind called crabeaters, many
antelopes and a few deer. Questioned
about lulling the bears and grizzles, he
says that was all without particular in
cident. He "just shot them, that'sall."
Bona claims to have killed at
least 2,000 deer, and in one season
made a score of 102. He shot his last
deer four years ago. His eyes are
good, and so are Ruben's, and they can
still hold a gun as still and sight as
well as anyone. In his 80th year Reu
ben was present at a turkey shoot at
Belfast. In this instance they paid a
certain sum for a shot, but not at the
turkey, using a mark instead of the
live birds employed in the old days.
Ruben asked one of the crack shots of I
the place if he would let him shoot his
gun once. The request was granted.
After asking some questions about the
gun, it being one with which he was
not acquainted, Rube fired and, to the
astonishment of the crowd, drove the
nail in the center of the mark. They
did not want him to shoot any more.
Nor did he want to. He had secured a
good fat turkey at a very reasonable
price, and at his age did not care to
risk his reputation for a shot which
might possibly have had a slight ele
ment of chance in it.
The writer well remembers in the old
days of the Christmas and Thanksgiv
ing turkey shoots, when the live birds
were put up, how Bona and Rube used
to take the turkeys. When they hove
in sight the word would go round the
crowd that the enterprising manager |
would lose some money on them, and j
he did, and soon felt that he would like |
to bar them from shooting.
But Bona's reputation as a fiddler is !
scarcely less than his fame as a huter. j
For 60 years and more he has played j
that wonderful instrument. The elder '
people of the upper Genesee remember j
him well, having often danced after his j
music, when they were young of j
"Money Musk," "Virginia Reel," j
"March Four," "Pop Goes the Weasel" |
and other dances of 40 and 50 years
ago. His violin has been the sweet j
solace ot many an otherwise lonesome j
evening while camping out, and to-day I
he can weild the bow and finger the }
strings with dexterity which issurpris- ,
ing for an otogenarian. Last winter
he played for a private dancing party
in the neighborhood of his old home.
He lives now in Kane, McKean
county, Pa. His playing is all by note,
and his ear is so good that he was able
once last winter to play to good satis
faction for two or three hours with one
of our leading orchestras.
Bona not only plays the violin, but
he can make, and has one which he has
just completed, which he showed the
writer not long since. Its front is of
the despised hemlock and back of beau
tiful blister maple. It is of skillful
workmanship and a fine-toned instru
ment.
