—Let’s Go Hunting— FOX HUNTS IN STATE SCORED BY COUNTY MAN Debate Over Killings Gains Ground: Stove League Sessions Open. BY LEFTY LEE Time* Hunting Editor That the fox has many staunch friends among the sportsmen of the state is made clear by the response from all parts of the state from experienced hunters and trappers who declare in favor of the animal. Today’s letter defending the fox is from J. I. Van Sickle of 316 North Grant avenue. You will agree, after reading this letter that it would be a rather dangerous undertaking to hunt the fox on this man's farm, for he certainly tells in no uncertain terms that he is the friend of the fox. He writes: Dear Sir—l read recently about the fox drive near Oaklandon and was very much surprised to think that any one would want to kill a fox. “I only hope that the man who purchased this little female fox for $6.75 will have a heart big enough to turn her free again. “I have been a hunter for forty years, have had many chances to shoot foxes or trap them, but never have killed one. “Many farmers have cats and dogs around the farm that destroy more chicken, quail and rabbit than fox do. If Mr. Fox does grab a chicken once in a while, what of it? The average farmer harbors hundreds of rats that destroy an unlimited amount of grain each year. Another thing, practically every barn on these farms are undermined by skunk that kill many chickens. “These pesky rats and skunks go unmolested but let someone mention fox and the whole community goes up in arms. After all Mr. Sportsman, is there another animal that you can think of that you admire more than a little red fox? Is there a more beautiful animal in the whole wild lot? Mr. fox I take off my hat to you. You have outsmarted man. dog and almost every living creature and I have no fear of you being exterminated, and, if you are ever in ! close quarters when I am near. I will do all in my power to protect you.” The hunter, as well as the follower and player of any sport holds his; stove league sessions. One of these j sessions was in order in the mailing room of The Times the other j day and Bob Reagan recalled the j time that Herb Whiteman was lost in the woods. Whiteman. Reagan I and a party of friends were on a hunting trip but when they started through the field there were too j many guns in sight for Whiteman's peace of mind, so he started off by himself. When evening neared, j thin nimrod headed back for the fqrtm from which the party started, bur soon discovered that he did not know which way to go. To make matters worse a black cat sprang, j as he says, from nowhere and re- j mained at his heels. Finally, be- j coming worried, Whiteman started j shooting, as a signal to the other I members of the party that he was j lost. The boys heard the shooting, but j they were better occupied eating j chicken, the trimmings and pump- j kin pie that the farmer’s wife had i prepared for them. They later be- j came alarmed and a search party j was organized. In the meantime, | the lost hunter stumbled onto a | farm house in which an elderly lady lived. In answer to his knock, j the door opened a mere crack and j then closed suddenly. By this time Whiteman collapsed j upon the porch. The occupant of the house finally braced her nerves j enough to produce a cup of coffee, sandwich and a piece of pie. She passed it through the door and j bolted herself in again. Tire mongrel j dog that he had with him must j have been of the same mind, for j while Whiteman was eating the ; sandwich and drinking the coffee, ; the cur grabbed off the pie for himself.
