If You Think It's Lousy, What About Hiawatha?
Editor's note—About this time every year, hunters take to the woods of Westchester county, New York, armed only with bow and arrow. When United Pressman Leo (Tecopa) Turner heard of this novel way to hunt deer, his Cherokee blood was so stirred he decided to try his luck.
Any similarity between what follows and Longfellow's stately poetry is by chance.
Armonk, N.Y.—(UP)—When the sum touched the Gowanus, hung like a red ball over Brooklyn, climbed to light Manhattan's canyons, a hunter entered Westchester's wildness.
Far from Oolagah, Okla., far from his Cherokee homeland, from years of over-eating, he looked nothing like Hiawatha. Yet he stalked the buck deer with a store-bought bow and arrow.
The bow cost $9.98 at Macy's, another 79 cents for the arrow, complete with broad steel head and feathers. The clerk wanted to sell several arrows. "One deer, one arrow," said the hunter.
In his wigwam making faces, sat the veteran game protector, Edward Townsend, gaunt and grizzled, who for 30 years has worn the warden's green. Once Mr. Townsend was husky, weighing 210 pounds in his sock feet. Now he weighs 165 but he still charges $1.25 for a hunting expense.
This is not good for bear or horses, do not shoot the crows and rabbits, do not harm the farmer's cattle and do not aim at other hunters."
One hundred other hunters already had trekked the woodland, shooting darts in all directions. None had killed a deer.
In the morning he saw three deers. Two were does and the third was frightened. Then came back the wisdom of his father. "Sit like a stump," his father told him. "Deers are all near-sighted."
So like a stump sat he, that his own wife wouldn't know him, wouldn't nag him, wouldn't vex him, asking where he left his rubbers, warning him against the giggling water. So like a stump was he, three other hunters passed without remarking. Lunchtime also passed unnoticed.
Softly the deer came toward him, softly in the evening shadows, looming bigger in the half-light, coming closer every minute.
Stealthily he unsheated his arrow, quietly fitted it to the bowstring, pulled back on the sinew,

but alas he couldn't bury
With a quick glance about him,
he placed both feet on the strong
bow, put both hands on the bow-
string, pulled with arms and back
and shoulders.
Onto his back he toppled. The arrow zinged skyward. He was on his hands and knees when it speed back earthward, and hit him where he wasn't looking.

'Prince' To Prison For Stealing Car
Wichita—(UP) A 27-year - old Hawaiian who claimed he is a Polynesian prince today was under a one to five year prison sentence.
Matthew Duarte, of Honolulu,
told Wichita police he was a direct

The Hawaiian was sentenced to the state penitentiary at Lansing on a charge of car theft. Police said he stole a car owned by Dan W. Thurston of Wichita in June. Several days later he was arrested by a night marshal at Oxford, Kan.
Duarte disarmed the officer and escaped. He was later arrested by Summer county deputies in a barn loft.
