HINTING U.11.1t HOGS.
A Dangeroai Advmlnre In Hie San
•loaqnin Hhtr Bottom.
From the San Francisco Call.
For years past a select lot of knowing
hunters have been having exciting sport
knocking wild hogs in certain sections of
the San Joaquin river bottoms. It isn't
every day, thougtvdhat the venturesome
hunters are aitppst killed by the cornered
hogs. Tat fate, however, nearly befell
William Douglass recently. If “Jim'"Pope,
with a trusty Winchester, hadn't been
standing nearby Dougiass wouldn't be tell
ing the exciting story he does about the
old "tusker" that had him down in a rush,
The country they hunted in is wild and
densely covered with an almost Impene
trable tangle of vines, low brush and occa
sionai trees. AH oil residents along the
Lower Sail Joaquin valley know just such
territory alontr the boUom lands, where
the water overflows in the spring. Hun
dreds of wild hogs inhabit some of them.
It was in just such a jungle,near Lathrop,
where young Douglasjs went to bag some
wild hogs, and it was in this same Jungle
that “Old Man’' Tyler hid after killing
Deputy Sheriff Buzzoli on Thanksgiving
eve, 18*6. To this wilderness of ’widows
and underbrush Williams and Schlage!
fled last September after attempting to
wreck and rob the southbound New Or

Nearly every traveler in California
knows of Lathrop, in the banner wheat
county of this slate, but very few of the
pussengers who dine at the station them
daily know that less than five miles away
there is this wild soot, where boar hunt
ing can Ik- followed, that Is every bit as
exciting as the fartious hunts in India.
There can tie no "pig slicking.” to be sure
for the hunter who wishes to hay a wild
porker in the San Joaquin underbrush
must rely on his rifle and enough nerve
and strength to carry him on hands and
kne<* beneath the network of vines and
bustles.

quin City. I did noi know much about
tile country, but Jim had lived In the
country all his life, and knew the lay
of the land.
"When we reached San Joaquin City it
was early In the afternoon, and J.m in
quired if there were any woodchoppers'
camps near by. Just as soon as wo learn-:
ed .ii what direction we could find one,
we started for it. Maybe you don't think
it was work getting there! That’s the
toughest country I ever expect to travel
through. There is nothing but tangled
willows, blackberry vines, hazel Bushes
and underbrush, end you have to crawl on
the ground or climb over it, or cut your
way through. It was nearly night when
we reach' and the clearing where the wood
chopper s cabin is. No one would ever
find it in ten years without proper instruc
tions.
"The woodchopper routed us out at 4
o’clock next morning to get outside of
some coffee, bacon and a teal duck apiece.
The old’ chap made Us eat a tremendous
breakfast, for, as he put it, ‘lf you don’t
feel full you'll never have the sand to
hunt long in that brush.' We were
mighty glad afterward that we fed well,
for when we struck the brush we found
that it took nearly an hour to go a mile.
It must have been fully three hours be
fore we got a sign of a wild hog. Jim
caught a glimpse of him in a bit of clear
ing. We crawled through the tangled
blackberry vines in front and got a good
view of him. He was an old boar, just
like the pictures you have seen. Near him
we TO it sow and three fairly grown pigs.
They were too far off for a good dead shot,
so we moVld about to get a little nearer.
1 went to the left and Jint to tho right.
“Tlte old rascal must have scented us,
for he lifted his snout and started for the
brush directly in front of where I was
standing. I stepped out, and In the ex
citement shot too soon, for he was ov<x
soventy-yards off. The shot never touch
ed him,-and he made straight for me.
“I did not think there was any danger,
for I knew all 1 had to do to get another
and a better shot was to pump another
cartridge into the magazine. I tried to
work the gun. The cartridge stuck. I
pumped it for all it was worth.but it would
not budge.
"I was on one knee, using every muscle
to dislodge the shell, and the boar was
coming head on like a limited express.
“I saw he'd reach me before I could
jump anywhere for safety, so I clubbed the
gun and made a smash at him. But I slip
ped on the soggy ground, and he wap at
me, when T heard Jim's Winchester crack.
The boar looked as an elephant to me ter
an instant. I'm sure his tusks looked lar
ger than a mastodon’s.
"He was right over me, and one of his
tusks grazed my duck coat, and Jim
caught him between the shoulders. I lead
flat on the ground, reaching for my knife
as the boar toppled over.
“That's the closest shave I ever had.
Catch me fooling with those magazine shot
guns any more, 'Trombone'—that’s what
the Crack Reliance man calls himself—
may break blueroeks with them, but I'll
take a rifle and a 44-ealiber Colt’s besides
when I go after wildhogs again,
'What we should have had was a lot cf
good dogs. Then there would have been
a pretty light. I’ll bet that old hoar would
have made it warm for the besf dogs in
the country.”
"When Jim fired the boar fell directly
across my body, and 1 couldn’t get out
from under him till Jim ran up and helped
to roll the big brute over. He did not look
quite so big when he ft-'as stretched out us
he did when standing over me wiih his
head ready for a gouge, but he was a vic
ious-looking rascal, just the same. We
each have one of the big tusks as a sou
venir of that light.
“On the way home we bowled over an
other. An old sow and two pigs were root
ing acorns under an oak. This time we had
a 'cinch.' for we were right on them, and
while I put a load of buckshot Into one of
the pigs Jim caught the sow right under
the left shoulder. Then our troubles began
again. How to get them through the brush
was the next question. We finally decided
lo take the pig and let the old woodchop
lior take the low if lie wanted her.
“That night we had a feast in his cabin.
He dressed the pig, did the cooking, and
wo did the rest. 1 tell you, we were hun
gry.”
Several other hunters are contemplating
a trip into the bottoms for a hoar hunt,
but they intend to take along several good
coon dogs to see what sort of a fight
one of the big hoars will make.
Oscar .Marshall, of the Stockton police
force, is an old-time market hunter. He de
clares that then* arc hundreds of wild hogs
along that portion of the San Joaquin west
and south of the railroad,bridge. He hunt
ed there over twenty years ago, and at
that time it was a common thing for the
market hunters to knock over a wild hog
when they wanted fresh pork.
