Fishing with pitchforks and rifles may be counted poor sportsmanship by some persons, but is a- sure way to get some nice meat, according: to several Brevard residents who) were seen in the French Broad river j bottons late Friday and early Sat-j urday. With the heavy rains of Thurs day night and Friday morning the French Broad overflowed its banks., forming large shallow lakes in pas-, tures and cornfields. With the swirling waters as they left low places in the rjver bank came also large carp, 'Red Horse' and other large species. j Method of snaring these fish, soniet of which weigh up to 15 pounds as( was the vogue here Friday and Sat urday, is to get near the river, wait until a large one is seen making the water ripple in the shallow pools and then go after it with the gig as! a dog would after s rabbit. Aside from the fine meat to be had, there is the. attendant fun of seeing the "other fellow" get numerous duck ings. SHOOTS SELF WHILE ! PLAYING WITH GUN ; Coy Hogsed Wounded In Neck When He Shows That He "Is Unafraid" ? Coy Hogaed, aged about, twenty wanted to show his young- friend Mack Feasster. that he "'wasn't ofraic' of a pistol," ana as result landed in Lyday Memorial hospital, severely wounded, and for a time thought to be critical. \ As told to Sheriff Tom Wood, who! investigated the matter Monday af ternoon immediately after the acci dent occurred, the two young men were seated in a room at the home of Hogsed near the outskirts of Bre vard, examining a .32 calibre pistol belonging to Hogsed. Young Feaster is said to have handed the gun to Hogsed with the explanation that he was afraid of any kind of pistol and did not want to handle them. Hogsed, according to story told by both young men, thereupon placed the pistol at his throat and pulled the trigger several times, causing the hammer to rise nearly to its full [ height, each time letting it down easily upon the cartridge in the chamber. After several trials he ev idently pulled the trigger a little to< , far with result that the gun went .off, the bullet plowing into his neck, 'tearing a jagged hole in the- wind 'pipe, ranging downward and lodging in the left shoulder. | Feaster immediately summoned ai 8nd the young man was carried ti the hospital, where his ccnditior Wednesday was reported as very |, good. No arrest was made by Sheriff Wood, he being satisfied that it wa 'an accident. Hogsed is a son of- Mr. and Mrs.i I Carmen Hogsed of East Brevard,! .while Feaster is a son of Mr. and i Mrs. M. M. Feaster, also of Ea;-t i Brevard. B.Y. P. U. MEETING TO BE HELD SUNDAY I Lower district B. Y. P.
