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.
