sensitive, however, is the apparatus
that the Argus rugged up at this end
to receive their reports, that today it
records a wave-thought from Mr.. W.
E. Jenkins, to the effect that he and
Mr.. Champlin are surrounded by an
ice-hoe, in a duck blind" near the
mouth of New River and thus shut
in and cut off from their launch. and
that, in the distance, they can see
Messrs. Geo. Norwood and lobe"

As before published, this hunting
party when leaving here consisted of
five members, Messrs, L. H. Castex,
wood, Jr., Tint Champlin, w. E.
Jenkins and DR.. Roger A. Smith, and
runner says that on their yacht Mon
day II ght they drew straws" as to who
should hunt the next day in lows and
which one Should go it alone, n it
fell to the lot of Messrs. Champlin
and Jenkins and CasteX and Norwood
to hunt together and DR.. Smith to GO
it alone. Messrs. Jenkins and Cham
plain elected to hunt for duck; Nor
wood and Caster for bear, and DR.
Smith for deer. The last named gen

woods as intuitively as In Indian.
P. S.: Since the above was put il
type Messrs. Castex and Norwood hav'
arrived home, safe, but someWaa
winded and with their hunting garb
very much batattered. 1t is said-bu
not by them-that on a sudden sail,
inland in search of help for Messrs
ChampIin and jenkins, they espied
large bear skulking just ahead @
them and they gave him chase. Brui-
led off through the woods in a wester
Iy course, and ever and anon whe
bear would rise on it's hind leg
and with his big fore paws becko
them to come on, and SO intent di
they become upon his capture thu
the flight Of time was forgotten al
distance annihilated, until the evenin
shadows SO darkened the prospect
that they could pursue the chase Il
longer. Then, through the ban
branches of the deep woods in whio
they found themselves they saw tt
electric lights of a city" gleamin
and glimmering, and, like Goldsmith
maid in The Hermit" following tt
+thospitable ray they landed in Kin
ton, just in time to catch the g.:
train for home last night. And he
