Very soon that deer realize a Pennsylvania hound was much easier to leave than a Carolina bull dog. After about three quarters of a mile across two high web wire fences the bull dog brought the chase to a close by getting the buck by one ear and of course Mr. Plowden was soon to the (log's rescue and bayed the buck. Two dlay's later Messrs. Marion Dubose and William Tomilson were out squirrel hunting and on their re turn about ten o'clock in the morning spied a big deer in John Epp's hog lot.

Mr. Rigby got lost and instead o.f going back to the lake where lie hiad left some of his friends from Manning soon wvondered out of hearing from his friends. The folks on the east side of Black River wvas somewhat alarmed about dlark by the shooting of his gun and the mourn fuil blowing in the river that time of night. Mr. Sam Barreni who was at the lake realize that the only place was to go) to where Mr. Rigby could hear him as it was thien dark and cloudy. Mr. Barron camne by Black River croasing at Midway in his car an< could hear Mr. Rigby shooting.
