Skunk is Trained
as a Bird Hunter
C. c. Mobiles Reports That He Bag
aed Twelve Partridges freed
by Violet In Maine

Charles G.. Mobiles, who when he
was in the hotel business on Broad
way few years ago claimed to have
found a cure for hay fever by shut
ting up a sneezing guest in refrig-
orator and who thus acquired the
nickname Of Doc" got back yester
day from a hunting trip in Maine
and brought bag of stories about
the celebrities around Ok Bow.
In the first place, George Fleming's
dog Whisper, famous as the only dog
in Maine that had been trained to
point fish, is dead. His place in Mr..
Jennings affections Is now filed by
Violet, trained skunk. Mr.. Mobiles
on his first hunt this autumn bagged
deer with an automobile. That was
before the hunting season opened.
Fleming is an extraordinary nand
at training animals" said Mr.. No
b'es, who is now an exporter, land
Whisper was the wonder of that
part Of the State. Violet, however,
has made an impression on the
countryside compared with which
the memory of Whispers achieve
ments is faint.
THE skunk has actually been train
ed to tree birds. And, mind you,
Violet does not use the overpower-
ing means that most skunks might
employ in doing anything. For she
Is an inoffensive skunk. You can be
in her company and not know 1t.
The attribute that makes a skunk a
skunk in the common view is absent
from Violet. Her odor is gone. 1t

moved by an operation.
violet weighs more tnan sixteen
pounds and is an affectionate animal.
She is the only trained specimen of
her kind that | have encountered.
She Is better than a dog in some
ways, | can testify from experience
She does not bark when she has
freed her quarry, but. she backs her
self up against the tree and beats
the trunk with her long, bushy tail.
These sounds are easily carried thru
underbrush. One day went out
with Violet for my companion. She
got a lot of partridges scared up in
a tree and / bagged twelve of them.
For the first time in my life
bagged deer with an automobile.
This automobile, l may assure YOU
let you have disposition to doubt
the existence and the capabilities oil
Violet, is not trained. It is Just an
ordinary car, and Fleming, and l.
one night before the hunting season
was on, were driving up from Mas
ads. All of sudden something
streaked in front of our headlights
and struck on our windshield. we
saw at once that 1t was a deer. IL
was so much injured that We Killed
it to put it out of its misery.
Next arose quandary. Was II
illegal to eat a deer killed by this
means out of season? Although
was nearly famished for lack of fresf
meat, having been living off salt ba
con for four or five days, / agreed
with Fleming that on this delicate
point appeal should be made to the
game warden of the county. His re
