Hon. Claud N. Sapp is back hd me
after a pleasant week spent on the
hunting preserves of Dr. Sihon
Baruch of New York City, near
Georgetown, this state. The hunt
ing preserves include $4,000 acres
OF land on the Georgetown coast.
Mr.. Sapps was one of an invited
party who shared DR.. Baruch's hos
p ality. The party engaged in the
sport Of killing wild duck, deer, wild
hogs and in fishing. Mr.. Sapp killed
two does. one of which he sent to
Stogner Bros. & Connor, and which
was on exhibition for several days.
Mr.. Sapp had to go through the ini-
tiation, always enforced from time
immemorial, against the person
who kills his, or her, first deer-and
that is to have the face we'll washed
in the blood of the victim Mr.
Sapp, of course, submitted with all
the grace possible, to the ordeal He
says he brought down a larEe buck
with antlers like a chair. The rea-
son he did not kill him was owing to
the fact, he says. that like the Irish
man in the story, he was taken by
surprise at the slow approach of the
buck, supposing at first he was a man
walking along with a chair on his
head
