HALIFAX COUNTY. "a, Feb. 6. 1894.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In the Dispatch OF February 81 your
Pamplin City correspondent says.
"a gentleman who had brag pack OF
hounds found fox who was too tough
for them. He would invariably tire the
hounds out and compel them to give up
the chase. The gentleman then resorted
TO this expedient TO make sure of his
CAPTURE He engaged two of his friends
10 bring in fresh packs on a certain day
to take the place OF those that were tired
out, and so pick up the fox, but the
scheme didn't work worth cent The
fox broke all three packs down and was
then apparently as fresh and lively as In
the start BY the merest accident one
of the gentlemen engaged In the chase
discovered the trick. He noticed that the
fox In making the round ran into a
large hollow log In the woods and came
out at the other end. Upon examination
the log was found to be full OF foxes.
and as one would come in tired a fresh
one would take his place. thus beating the
hunters at their own game. l regret
exceedingly that, after thorough and
prolonged investigation, l have not been
able 70 discover the locality of this oc-
currence or the names OF those who par
ticipated In H."
I beg leave to inform your Pamplin
City correspondent that I have located
the spot. and give the names Of the par
ticipants The location Is on the south
side OF Dan river. opposite News Ferry
Depot In Halifax county. and the par
ticipants were C.. A. Raine, Captain Nc

no doubt will certify to the fact. q.
