EIGHTY YEARS A FOX HUNTER
Active Old Gentleman Still Keeniy
Enjoys the Chase

Zone of the most remarkable old
men of my acquaintance" said a resi-
dent of Lancaster county who was in
the city yesterday, sis Perry Brubaker
of Cedar Lane Although he is eighty
six years old, he recently completed
the replaStering of a twO-and-one-haf
story house, and did most of the work
himself, having only a boy of seven
teen to help him. He is very active
for a man of his years and is a great
fox hunter. He made his first cap
ture over seventy years ago, when
the snow was two feet deep on the
ground He followed the path beaten
by the pack on foot, and succeeded in
removing Reynard from a cover he
had taken in some rocks He has cap
tured many foxes since then and has
always hunted foot During the
last few years, when he could not take
such active part in the chase. he
would station himself on a high point
of the Welsh mountains and listen to
the music of the pack they circ1ed
round and round, until Reynard would

treats, where he was safe for that day
