Steady ' Trneellnf-HDy ' Cover UUttaeU nun dory. v, ' Messrs. P. M. Cave, ' IJ, E. C. Bryant and N. W. Wallace, Jr., and Maatera Horace Johnston, .Willie Brown, Ed Canstar and other inet Messrs, Charles McGtnnla, Badger Bryant, Walter . :f Siulrea and Fred Rea, of Provldende, ;:s $ at the, Jioma of Mr, Joe Flennlken, In . : ' Sharon, and had A very unique If not v'kf interesting fox race yesterday. Mr. A. A. Fox, of Maryland, notl ,r'fled Charlotte Hunter that he had a t ,- fox, bftf red, t dog fox, that he had denned and dug out one day last Vweek. He was ordered to ship him to ( . Charlotte at once. The mighty runner ft 'came Thursday morning, and was sent ' o the country for safe keeping. Mr. ' ' ' , Kirk Sturgeon, who lives near the ' ' Flennlkens. has what he calls his tU "water proof fox pen." which Is made , ' ,'. of Close-woven wire and a number of upright posts. In the pen he has ' placed several comfortable boxes ' t where the caged fox can retreat when J . " curJous people go there to stare at 1 Mm. Kirk had kept all sorts of grays 1 ' . there but never a red. So yesterday, j when Horace Johnston delivered the; j Maryland Reynard to the Sharon boys, they turned him from the little H box that he was shipped In to the t 4 1 large and airy pen. Feed, plenty of ! , such dainties as an ordinary fox would ', v like, waa dropped In so that the fox could get It. The dogs of that com V raunlty were tied up for the night. - Jt waa the purpose of Messrs. Flennl ; ' ken and Sturgeon to get up at 3 o'clock 1 y yesterday morning and set the fox v free, and let him hustle for himself ' until :J0 or 7 o'clock, when the Provl dence and Charlotte parties were x e ' pected with their- hounds. But that , era a atrenuous, as well as a cunning -' fox. Aa the clocks of Sharon struck eight ' , Sjuthcr Jennings, a mighty hunter of chat region, was standing, watching . s old red, as he sat upon one of the 1 boxes, and sifted the wholesome air ' f the Little McMilllan Creek sec- - ' lion, and thought of the great hills and holes of faraway Maryland: no fox ever looked prettier or seemed , happier than he. ' , But, when Luther turned his back tn the pen to go to his couch and f Bleep until the early morn, when he could get up and Join the other hunt ers, that large and lusty red bounced ' down from his easy seat and began f to examine the wire that made him a . prisoner. Like the fearless fellow that - he waa, he stepped back a time or two and surged against the netting, but It gave not. He was not whipped, i bowever, for he had his teeth, and f - out of them he made a pair of pllera j which he used to fine effect. He nlp ped away, cutting strand after strand, A5 until he had made a hole large enough for hla body to pass through, and out ha went, a free fox on .North Carolina BOll. It was then about 8:30, and he , began straightway to travel. Yesterday morning, when Joe Flen tilken and Kirk Kturgeon saw what , had been done, they were greatly dls A t ' appointed. They had laid their plans but the fox hud forestalled them. At the appointed hour the hunters ' ' gathered. ChaHle McCilnnls came ' with Mark and Hannah; Walter ,. . Squires wllh Blue, and Badger Bryant, with Cy. Joe, Sam and Molllc. all i good trailers. The younger hounds were shut in or chained and the old aleuths set to work to ferret out the oold trail of Reynard. Kirk Sturgeon , had been In the pen and gathered a -great quantity of the pungent odor of , , red fox on his clothes and shoes and had walked arounds the fields several times to see which way the rascal had gone. Cy, a large, Industrious fox dog. . ; went In the pen. got his nose full of '-' the scent, rushed out and hit Kirk's track and followed him track by track back to the house. The laugh was on Cy, for the lime, but Cy was not ,v' discouraged. He began to circle like , one possessed. The other dogs wero j , , Interested but not half so much as ! '. who had -run many reds In !cor- I gla before he came to North Citroliim. J Gradually he made the lrftck off, and I ,t lor six hours labored at a trail that had been made twelve hours before he atru k It. Mark, Hannah and It hie gave him noble HKxIslance Inwards the : last and Kunlce, Mollis. Joe and olli-j rs helped now and then, and .Ion ! , (Flennlken, Kager Mryani. Murk Alex- : ander and one or ti more keen-eyed ! , S fellows rendered the dogs great asKUl- j nee. From :3n to 1 o'clock the tiallj t was followed l I h- homes of Kd Ca- i 1on, Iester Alexander. KM Alexander, , Messrs. Faulkner, Randolph and oth- j ers, makliiK a rouinl, a the fox went, ! of about 10 miles. At IIiticn every- j body gave up. but old Cy kept circling; his murage gave the hunter heart, j '.- JuhI at I o'clock, the fox was un- ; - j! Icnneled In a piece- of woods, this ' mlde of Mr. Kdnar Walker's home, j . ;, and within l.' minutes from that time ...?. he was overtaken and killed by the ! - dogs. Mark and one or two others I caught sight of hlin as he ran thtoiiKb V;' ' ,y,"" "eld and went for him wllh i determination to do murder.
