Rather Novel Deer Hunt.
On Tuesday morning Nj w. s. Neil
received a phone messag from Fill
bert. stating that deer nd just pass
ed through there, and forMr. Neil to
come up and bring some ounds with
him. No hounds were claimed here,
but Mr.. Neil, DR.. A. Y. Ca.wright and
Mr.. John R. Hart went to Filbert.
1t seems that about clock that
morning parties living inand around
Filbert heard a hound INNING and
baying as though in pursit Of some
sort Of game. Shortly aer daylight
Mr.. w. M. Stowe saw a der pass his
house Getting Mr.. John Iall he fol-
lowed the deer's tracks or about q
mile to the farm Of Mr.. C E. Spencer
where the deer was arouse. The deer
turned on it's trail and ,assed near
Neil & Parrott's store inFilbert. A
party Of from twenty-five fifty soon
gathered and began follomg the deer
by it's tracks, the tracks hing plainly
seen in the soft ground. Mr.. Stowe
and Mr.. Hall having tratd the deer
up and jumped it in less han a mile
of where first seen, 1t WIS supposed
that the deer would lay iown again
in the first body of wood.it came to,
but after following the trtl for about
six miles to "Tate's Bridge across Al
lison creek the trail waslost in the
thick cane brakes No dgs could be
procured that would follw the trail
or scent of the deer. 1t wa a curious
ly armed party that wa in pursuit.
Some had revolvers, some I'D fashion
ed muskets and many sho guns load
ed with bird shot. Mr.. Jo' Billie Par
rott states that yearling alf exposed
itself fully, barely in tim to escape
an untimely death from hs shot gun.
There are man. SurmiseI IS to where
the deer came from. Soae think 1t
may have come from na! Fort Mill
where it Is reported a psry has some
deer in captivity. Othes think that,
the hound that was le;rd baying
before daylight, may la'e run the
deer for long distance; pThaps from
the mountains or swamp.
