Our pilot had an Idea where the picture was taken, so we followed his instructions. After taking off on a couple of side roads, we finally hit the Bachman Chapel church road. We noticed a road turned off almost directly in front of the church. Something looked familiar, so we stopped. Just as we had about de cided it wasn’t the “mystery farm,” we took another look and turned off on the road for a better look. We passed the house then turned around.

Although there were a num-* not confirm any of them. more closely, and identified a num ber of buildings that appeared in the picture, and right there we decided we had it. Over in the field we saw a man raking v a field with a tractor and pulled down , the road alongside him. We pulled out the picture and handed it to him with the query, “Is this your farm?” He identified himself as L. E. Bobb, and after studying the print a few seconds, said, “It does look like it.” Then he began to point out his tool shed, repair shop and other building^ on the place. “That little crepe myrtle bush over there is right here on the print,” he declared. Mr. Bobb said that hfe and his wife had operated the farm for the past two years. He had worked in a textile plant prior to that. He and a brother also operate the Wilson Grocery at the intersection of the Columbia highway and the Jolly Street road. The farm has about 115 Wres in it and Mr. Bobb aaid about 40 of this was in full cultivation. The farm is terraced and crops are rotated for best land use. Mostly small grains are raised on the farm. There are several head of milk cows on the farm. Mr. Bobb said he sold milk to one of the milk companies for a while, but now only sold to Newberry Ceramery.

The hare eluded the yelping pack un til, worn to a frizzle, he shot across the field into a commoner’s yard and fell in exhaustion at the feet of a worker. The man grabbed the hare alive to hold for Lord Churchwald. But the commoner claimed the hare as his own. So the hunter sued. And the judge ruled that since Lord Churchwald had started the hare, and his hounds had chased it, until it was practically dead, the hunter had ’ really gained possession and therefore acquired ownership. That decision is still upheld by our courts today. The accepted legal rule now is that you get no title by pursuit alone, even though the animal has been wounded, un less you follow the beast and re duce it to occupation—that is, to actual possession. Bodily seizure is not a must. Mortal wounding, if you don't abandon your pursuit, may be con sidered possession on your part, since you show a definite inten tion of getting the animal ' for your individual use. A part of this law of the chase is this accompanying rule: If you start and wound a game animal, s6 that its death is practically sure to result, but another hunter Local 324 Meets There will be a meeting of Mol- lohon T.W.U.A. <C.I.O.)

Sports Afield magazine, in an article by lawyer Renzo Dee Bowers, advises hnnters who are lucky enough to start a game animal and to shoot orlband him, to hang on the trail. Don’t abandon it for a moment. It’s when you’ve practically got him to the point where the wounding has practical ly deprived him of his liberty and rendered his capture by you cer tain, or almost certain, that the law declares him yours.
