Legislators Told
OF Hilltop Type
OF Fox Hunter
The Star.


BY stan CORES Inc star.
ANNAPOLIS, March IA diff
ferent type of fox hunter, the hill
topper" whose uniform is usually
overalls instead of red coat and
derby, was described at a hearing
before the Prince Georges County
Delegates last night.
Arguing against a proposed 81
bounty on fox scalps, William H.
Brooke of Upper Marlboro, spokes-
man for group of fox hunters in
the county, said that hill
topper" was a man who went out
of nights, usually with a group of
friends and some refreshments, to
sit on top of hill and listen to
the baying of hounds as they pur-
sued their quarry over the neigh
boring countryside.
Some hilltoppers were real spirits
men, he said, and would call off
their hounds if Reynard managed
to reach his den alive or if some
gray fox climbed a tree to safety.
A mean hilltopper, instead of call
ing off his dogs, would dig up the
den or shake the animal out of the
tree just for the lust of seeing a
fox killed, he said. Shaking a tree
or digging up den to kill a fox is
the lowest form of craftsmanship,
ne said.
