leg, Old Troupe got out and joined in the chase. The 

 fox was soon caught, and one of the first dogs at the 

 death was Old Troupe, who stood over the fox holding 

 up his broken leg with the broken bone protruding 

 through the skin, and seeing him in that condition 

 Frank Magavock, a son of the owner of the dog, 

 thoughtlessly drew his revolver and shot him ; and 

 when I witnessed the death of that noble dog there 

 was something came up in my throat, and I experi- 

 enced a sorrow and grief I cannot express. 



The horses ridden upon these occasions in Tennes- 

 see embrace the best and speediest that State has pro- 

 duced. Tom, Hal, Clipper, Brooks, Mattie Hunter, 

 Little Brown Jug, Joe Braden, Joe Bowers, Brown 

 Hal, Hal Pointer, Bay Tom, Duplex, Locomotive, and 

 Mountain Slasher have all participated in these hunts 

 and contributed to the enjoyment of their owners.
