A group will be formed in the

inches of sand is poured into the

HUNTERSLEAVE
ON MEXICO TRIP
Indiana Men to Hunt Big
Game In the Wilds of
Tamaulipas
Two of America's most famous
big game hunters. Henry R. Roberts
and Austin A. Sheets of Indianap
olis, Ind.. who arrived in Browns
ville last week, left Thursday morn
ing by car for the Raeder ranch.
ISO miles • south of Matamoros.
where they will devote at least two
weeks to hunting with gun and
camera the big game of Mexico.
Henry R. Roberts, who for years
has been a contributor to “Out
doors" and “Field and Stream.” is
state sales agent for the state of
Indiana, and Austin A. Sheets is a j
member of the Indiana state board :
of agriculture. Both are ardent
sportsmen, and for eighteen years
have made annual hunting trips to
gether into the big game sections
of Canada and the Northwest.
The sportsmen took with them
sufficient supplies for three weeks.
Special permission was obtained
from the Mexican officials to carry !
a camera, and permission also was \
secured by telegraph from Secretary j
of State Kellogg to transport arms
and ammunition across the border, j
The party will be Joined at the
Reader ranch the latter part of the ;
week by Luther and Robert 8- ow,
famous hunters of Willacy county,
who propose to capture a number
of animals for exhibition purposes
and also secure moving pictures of
the wild life of Tamaulipas.
The Raeder ranch lies about 20
miles south of the Tropic of Can
cer, and therefore Is in the tropics.
This will be our first big game
hunt in the tropics. Roberts said,
'and we are anticipating real sport.
That section of Tamaulipas is not
ed for its deer. Mexican lions,
jaguars, wild turkeys, Javellna and
other varieties of wild life. We not
only expect to enjoy fine shooting,
but also will secure some very in
teresting photographs of the wild
life of northeastern Mexico. I
propose to use some of the photo
graphs for publication."
Roberts and Sheets hatfe been in
the Valley since February 22. and
expressed their admiration of this
section. "It is the most wonderful
section of the United States." Rob
erts said. "I do not believe there
is any part of the country that can
offer more attractions to the farm
er, the tourist, or the sportsman."
