Mr. U. M. Demers and Captain L. L. Goolein
have Just returned from what was a panther hunt,
when they started out, but a maroon when they
get back. Word came to Captain Goodwin that the
mato of the huge panther which waa killed
Uryan neck some time ago, was roaming around in
the Marne locality and committing wholesale depre
dations. Captain Goodwin tad arranged whereby
he was to be informed if the mate made her ap-
pearauce, and aoout ten days ago
he received the welcomed news.
He and Mr. Demere made their ar angementa
at once and started off in the Ooean (Jaeeu, Mr.
Dcmero'e new yacht, for tbe scene of the panther's
ueaudermgs. They arrived at the spat and were
hoeplttbly recelvsd by the old hunter, who live* on
the neck, aod also by his wife, bts eight eons and
bis four daughters. Thsy started ont that night
after th* panther and camped within 300 yards of
whera the other was killed, tut they did not even
bear a growl. This encampment waa kept np sev
eral time*, but though tbe panther had been making
blmself perfectly at home before tbe hunters ar
rived, she teemed to acent danger and kept clear of
the spot, so at last she waa given np and tbe sports
man turned their attention to game of other sorts.
Not being able to shoot a panther they
went coon hunting, and in this line they
were more successful, for they caught fonr. Be
sides these thsy killed three rattlesnakes atfi) shot
on* deer. They shot at another, bnt that deer is
■till roaming about, none the worse for the explo
sion of gunpowder that occurred just as be parsed
within rang* of Captain Ooodwln. Haring tried
their hands at several kinds of sport they took In
ail other aorla they coaid find so one morning they
went rice-bird ebootlncand filled tb* game bag at
on* shot, for thirty-three rice blrde fell at tha first
discharge. Fiablng also claimed a part of their
time, and Captain Goodwin aald that they caught
more tbau they wanted, aod what daligbted blm
most were the elegant ah rim pa that seemed to come
up Jnet for th* purpose of being caught. They did
not catch tba panther, but there are five pound*
more of Captain Ooodwln than there were.

About twelve miles from Smithvllle. on the op.
posits elds of the ersek from kurkeviUe, ia the out
Chebaw plantation, which derives its name from
the tribe of Indiana that formerly Inhabited that
•action. In th* corner of tbUpl*ntatlon stands a
venarabla oak, 80 feet in height, with a trunk 1* feet
in length, end seven or eight in <* Umeter. Under this
tree tb* dusky warriors of the Chebaw nation held
their court* and executed their criminals. In the
gray dawning* of 4>aat days they gathered there In
conncil and carrlsd their deliberations far into the
dusk of shadow haunted twilight*.
The llmbe of thle dread oak extend far out, cov.
•ring a circle of 300 feet or more; and often when
the wind came with the derknese, and etgbed or
ebtvered through the branebee, it awayed to and
fro the lifeless bodies of criminals hanging thereon.
The first white court ever held In Lae county con
vened under thle oak. The Judge eat on one of th*
large roots, and Waned back against the body of
tbe tree. The lawyers eat in front of him on roots
aud elsewhere, aod laid their brief* and books
before them Here they read Uw and harangued
itiant court for their clients. Here the J udge
hie solemn charge to the Jury, who would re
tire to another tree, e few pare* off, and make up
their verdicts “according to the evidence."
At Ibis time, Lee county extended from Godovs

was sheriff there wea not a public road in the coun

to hts death by being run over by a Western
