Danbury, North Carolina January 2 194b TRUE STORIES OF HUNTERS - T. C. Hauser, popular merchant of Walnut Cove, has been a migh ty successful hunter in his day. Before he came to Walnut Cove' he owned a fine set of hounds that were good for foxes and coons. The leader of the pack was old Jaybird, as fine a hound r>s ever chewed a bone. One ni;;ht Mr. Hauser decided to try for an old coon that had been depredating in the neighbor hood for several years ar.d had never been treed. It was a spcially fine r.ight for hunting. It had been raining but had cleared up and the moon was shining through the damp woods. Old Jaybird soon lifted his deep voice and Mr. HJauser could te!l that it wag a coon track. All the hounds got in behind old Jaybird m full cry. Mr. Hauser said he just knev it was the slick old coon, as he could tell by the peculiar inflec tion in old Jaybird's bark.

Sure enough the coon led straight to a deep, wide pool in the bend of the creek, and jump -11 ed in, followed by the whole pack. "That was the stiffest fight I ever seen," said Mr. Hauser as he wa s in Crews' barber chair and • telling it to the open moutheci crowd around. Crews let him up so he cou'd talk better. Mr. Hauser said that hole was full of dogs and the coon and ju.it then him and old Jaybird clinch ed. The water flew in all direc- I tons, and both animals, old Jay i bird and the coon both, sunk out of sight and stayed under so long ■ 1 Mr. Hauser thought they both would drown sure, but just then i old Jaybird came to the top and he was yelling some, as the cjoon , was on his back biting hard and with his claws in old Jaybird's back. "Well, I tell you that wa g the first time I ever seen old Jaybird | run, but he come out of there like a skyrocket and hit the bank at top speed with the coon on his back, still biting hard and claw ing with every foot. Old Jaybird hit for home like THE DANBURY REPORTER something crazy, and couldn't j stop for the pain. All the other ' dogs scrambled out and started following, but old Jaybird was al ready out of sight. "When we all got home, old | r ' Jaybird was under the porch, ; moaning with pain, but that coon was gone. "We couldn't understand, and went back down the road to see where the coon was, and when we got to a certain low bending . tree in the trail, the dogs struck the scent again." "And what do you reckon?" asked Mr, Hauser. "I don't know," said Crews. "Why, that coon jumped off old Jaybird's back into the low- bend -1 ; 1 ing tree when old Jaybird went under it, that's what," replied Mr. i Hauser. 'Then he hit for the | ' • mountain again, and we could not [ 1 . get a single one of them dogs to ' | follow him." I "Coons i 3 smart as foxes and meaner fighters, too," said Mr. i i _ I 1 I nauser. "But that was the only' ' | time I ever seen old Jaybird 1 I i' whipped.
