Show Went Gunning In Full Dress. At 11 o'clock on Monday night a party of ten gentlemen, who had been spending spend-ing the evening pleasantly at an informal ball at tha Jokyl Island club hon.se, concluded con-cluded they would have a "pig hunt" before be-fore retiring. Without taking time to change the dress suits in which they were attired, tbey slung their rifles across their shoulders and set out into the jungles of Ji-kyl in quest of wild hogj. The agreement before starting was that every ritlo Bnoitld be fired at the first pig that broke cover. They bad not proceeded pro-ceeded very far before one of the gentlemen gentle-men had the misfortuue to trip and fall heavily through a bunch of palmettoes and into a pool of water about a foot and a half deep. Sixteen shots were f red in quick succession suc-cession from the rifles of the other members mem-bers in the direction of the noise, each one thinking a pig had been started. During the fu allude the unlucky sportsman sports-man was afraid to put even his nose above water, ami when, after the firing had ceared, the hunters rushed to the spot to fiud their game they discovered, instead of a wild hog, their half drowned companion. The boys shouldered tho game and carried it back to the club house, fully jienuaded that 'midnight, dresj suits and pig hunting didn't go very weil together. Brunswick (.Ga.) Times. |
