A. J. Stewart and Brother Have Lively
Time on Big Hurricane.
Some huge wild cats have been
caught recently iu the western
part of Ware and lower part of
Coffee county.
Mr." A. J. Stewart and brother
had an exciting chase after a
large cat a few days ago. _ The
gentlemen decided to go hunting
for turkeys. They crossed the
creek and were going up on the
side of the sand hill about half
hour before day. They heard
something run off from them,
which they supposed to be a rab
bit or coon. They separated and
each took u stand listening for a
gobbler.
Just about good daylight Mr.
A. J. Stewart perceived a large
cat creeping up the hill cautiously
iu the direction where he was sit
ting. It would smell on the
ground and then raise its head
high in the nir. He leveled his
gun and fired. As he did so the
cat went rolling and tumbling
down the hillside into the swamp.
They went home and got three
dogs and returned to the place
where it went into the swamp and
put the dogs on its track and in
about twenty minutes they caught
it. One fore leg having been
broken by the shot the annimal
could not fight much and they
soon brought it to the hill. It
wa3 a large wild cat weighing
pounds. One paw was sent to
the Journal office.
