"Old Rainmaker," Paul Bunyan called hie favorite shot gun, on account of the atmoepheric disturbances that occurred every time it was fired. Rain, hail and violent windr would come out of a clear shy and the echoes of the triple blact could not be dirtinguiehed from the crarhing thunder.
The three barrels were bored by Big Ole, the blaahmith, from shafting left over when he built the "down-cutter" for harvesting pine treer. A load for each barrel required three dirhpans of powder and four gunny sackr of horceshoes. lt wae a mu:zzle loader but that did not bother Paul, for after he shot, which he did once a year, there was nothing left to shoot at,
