thon Brown, of Fremont, Sullivan
county, went out coon hunting few
nights ago. His dogs barked one up a
tree. Brown climbed the tree to cap
ture it. When he crawled out on the
limb where the animal was crouching, il
came forward to meet him. He then
discovered that it was a wildcat of very
large size. Brown made haste down
the tree and the wildcat followed him.
At the bottom of the tree the wildca,
tore the dog to pieces in a few seconds
and escaped to the woods before Brown
could get a shot at it. Hunters have
been seeking the catamount ever since
