Greensboro, y. c., Dec. 16.-Game W.T.
den Weatherly conhscated seventy-fiye
more cartridges at the express railroad
office last night, being shipped by a Win
ston firm to Richmond. They were sold
this morning for $3.50 per dozen. The
birds were undressed, and their discovery
was again due to the remarkable nose"
of the Game Warden's setter dog. Satur-
day night, without the dog, Mr.. Weatherly
seized a suspicious barrel, but found
nothing but rabbits, yet is now satisfied
that he missed the game, from his eXper
icnce last night. The dog last night told
MIN there were birds in a barrel. He
knocked a head off, and there We're the
rabbits. The dog insisted by whines that
birds were there. He knocked the other
head out and still found rabbits. Still
the dog protested that birds were about,
rearing up on the barrel and running oft
few feet and coming to a dead set.
"Derned if l don't see if that dogs smart
err than me-" exclaimed the game war
den, as he held up one end of the barrel
and poured it contents out on the plat
form.
With q cry of delight, the dog
rushed to the pile and soon had his nose
buried in cartridges. There were seventy
five of them '.nested' in the centre of the
barrel, feathers and all, The Richmond
dealer who reads this item, will know how
smart that dog is, for in all probability
he got the barrel of rabbits and the birds
'nested" in the center that doglcss game
warden overhauled Saturday night and
let go.
