Isaac S. Horton was a farmer, and occasionally a hunter, "frequently
taking his rifle," as he says, and going into the woods not far
from his house, he would knock down a deer or two and return home
by breakfast time. One morning in June, some forty years ago, he
took his gun and went out into the woods, about half a mile from his
house, when a fine buck appeared before him and down he went. While
reloading his gun he heard a wolf howl, and going a little further he
brought him down also. On returning to the place where he shot the
buck, behold, a huge panther had taken possession of the buck, and
was regaling himself by licking up the blood and preparing to feast
upon the carcass. He stood still for some minutes, looking at the
panther, thinking it rather cruel to kill him before he had a chance
to take his fill of his much coveted food. But at length the panther
saw him and showed signs of fight, and he then put a ball through his
brain. On going home for his team, he found he had been gone only a
little over an hour.
Mr. Horton took up land in a dense wilderness, several miles from any
inhabitant, cleared it up, and then bought several other farms and

and lived to a good old age, dying at his old homestead, about two
