They Got tlie fjit. Florida Times-Union. Wildcats in Florida are common as a rule, but it Is rare that sportsmen from Jacksonville come In contact with them, as was the experience of Ben Burbrldge and Hugh Christie last Saturday. These two gentlemen went to Dago last Saturday to hunt ducks. This species of bird was rather scarce In that Immediate neighborhood, so they went over into a thicket near Pablo beach to hunt squirrel. They found this game more plentiful and were having some success, when the cry of one ot their dogs was heard, coming from a distance of about 100 yards from them From the cries of the dog they de elded that he was engaged ln a fierce struggle and decided to go to his as slstance. They went to a palmetto thicket and located the dog, more dead than alive, with the flesh badly torn from its body. They had not been In that vicinity many minutes before a wildcat put in Its appearance, with an ugly growl it squatted low In the bushes and was about to spring at them when the two fired at the same time. The huntsmen knew that the wildcat had been badly wounded and followed up the trail of blood for some distance, but finally gave up the search and took the train for Jacksonville." "; " ' - Mr. MIckler, their guide on the hunt ing expedition, stated before , they left that he would get his pack of hounds after the wounded wllcat on Sunday morning. Nothing more was thought of the experience until yesterday after noon, when Mr. Burbrldge received the carcass of the cat by -e-ress. . A Good Business Show. New York.
