The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1874-11-21

A novel deer hunt took place on the
North eastern Railroad track three
days ago, an which freight locomo.
tive assumed the part of hounds and
huntsmen. Az the train was approach
ing Mount Holly, about nineteen miles
from Charleston, Il tine looking buck
leapcd upon the track. For moment
hn snutIed the tainted gale, aud then
took straight course ahead of the
engine. Engineer John Brogden
opened his throttle valve and gave
chase. The buck. looking neither to
tho right or to the left. strained every
nerve to keep ahead of the iron mon
ster laundering close at his heels, but
he scorned to seek safety by leaving
tho track. This race for life was kept
up for some minutes, when sinews
gave way before steam, and in mo.
mont more the COW catcher had caught
tho deer. hurting him ten feet from
the track. The engineer, conductor
aud Others supped on venison steaks
that night at Florence.
