Hunting a White Fox.

An alleged white fox, which many hunters have seen and as many as have seen have shot at, but which is yet unharmed, is stirring up the crack shots near Flagstaff on the Dead River. The rare animal is said to be a splendid specimen, and every one is anxious to get it. Some of the finest shots in the region and there are not a few who can pick off a partridge’s head with a rifle hall at eight or ten rods—have had a chance at the animal, but it has always escaped unhit. Some of the hunters are beginning to be a little afraid of the beast, half inclining to the notion that there is something uncanny about'it. Perhaps a white fox may be more foxy than a red one, at any rate.
