  1. My Father's Uncle Dan Downning Lohart who is still alive and in our house was a great sportsman in his day.
    Once upon at time he noticed a fox taking stones on his paw & settling them there well & then throwing up the stones at the fowl which perched on branches of an ash tree which was about 10 feet or so from the ground.
    He did his best in this way to force down the fowl & if he failed it was not his fault. On another occasion a fox pretended to be dead.
