Sunday Bear Hunt in North Carolina

Some of the citizens OF the Ashland
section had a novel experience in killing
a big black bear Sunday. He was dis
covered passing across the bottoms OF the
Bushnell plantation about noon by Alfred
Jones. colored tenant on the place, who
notified all the farmers in the ncighbOr-
hood. a number of men came with their
dogs and their guns and proceeded to
locate the beast
The dogs soon struck the track and
several of the hunters got within close
range at o'clock Five or six loads
were nred into him before he had APP
parcutly noticed any onslaught. Firing
continued for several hours with slight
effect, and several fierce fights between
the dogs and the beer occurred, but he
apparently made no effort To attack any
Of the huntsmen. Late in she afternoon
after considerable lodging in n thick
swamp, he climbed a large tree. Several
shots were fred 1T him from below, and
he went ont on limb which was so
small it broke under his weight
When he fell 10 the ground Ed IIarri,l
was at very close range and got a good
aim at n point just below the heart
which ended the conflict. Mr.. Summers

OLD GUNS ON A MISSOURI FARM.
Obsolete Weapons Buried in Civil War
Recovered.

w. ID. Short, who lives near Rutledge,
has recently dug up on his farm sixty
four old muslets which have been buried
since the spring of 1868 The farm
where Mr.. Short lives was once owned
by his father in the time of the Civil
war, and the story of the guns is an in
tcresting one
Col. Glover, with a force of Union
soldiers, had camped near the Short
homestead and was preparing supper
when troop OF Confederate cavalry
dashed upon them and captured the COM
pany. Col. Gloyer's soldiers were
equipped with fuse" guns. az army
muSket superseded throughout the army
by more modern weapons long before the
war closed. The Confederate troopers
took the guns, but, finding they had no
ammunition for the old style weapons
left them on the farm of Mr. Short.
The possession of so formidable a dis
play of arms at that period. when even
a squirrel rifle was on the prohibited list,
very much alarmed Mr.. Short and his
family. and that night trench was dug,
the guns piled in and covered over. There
the weapons have rested until one day
last week, when w. ID. Shorr by ac-
eident found the resting place of the old
tirelockS and brought them 10 light.
The stocks are all rotted OFF and the
iron barrels, rods and bayonets eaten
with rust, but they show plainly the
style of the gun, and locks and bands
are all intact. Since his find has become
known Mr.. Short has been beSieged by
relic hunters for the old guns and he has
given them out 10 al applicants as
souvenirs until all but two or three OF
the guns are gone. ~ Salisbury (Mo0

the pedestrian or horseman met a MeXi-

donkey always took the inside path and
gave You the outside. with all its attend
