Gunners Participated
In a Buffalo Hunt At |
Manheim Last Week
The following is reprinted from
the Manheim Sentinel:
A, R. Mummau drove through
town the other day with an en-
ormous buffalo loaded on his truck.
The animal weighed 1310 pounds
and had horns measuring 40 inches
from tip to tip.
It was sent with a load of western
cattle to the A. R. Mummau farm
and when it got here jumped the
fences ard escaped. A chase fol-
lowed and the buffalo put up a
fight. He was captured on the
Elam Geib farm by Robert Groff
who on the first shot got him on his
knees but had to shoot him five
times before he finally collasped.
It took five strong men to place
him on the truck.
Mr. Mummau says the animal
was a cross between a buffalo and
cow and is probably from Texas.
It certainly looked like a Texas
buffalo and gave the men the thrill
of a buffalo expedition right here
at home while other gunners are
out for deer.

Big Expansion
Program At
Marietta
Another expansion project atthe
huge Marietta Army Depot,
cluding additional warehouses, to
cost “several hundred thousand
dollars” got under way Monday.
The reconsignment station, com-
pleted about a year ago at a cost
of $6,000,000, was enlarged some
months ago to provide additional
outdoor storage space.
Officials said the exact scope of
the expansion program has not
been definitely decided.
Since the above was written it
has been learned the expansion
means the erection of
storage sheds.
The sheds will provide approx-
imately 400,000 square feet of ad-
ditional storage space ard will be
erected on ground now used for
open storage. The work is sched-
uled to be completed late in March
and will cost approximately $700,-
000. Each shed will be 960 by 180
feet, the same size as the present
storehouses. Each shed will have
