THE HOPKINSVILLE KENTUCKIAN — FEBRUARY 18, 1896
Boys Take a Snipe Hunt
Henderson, Feb. 15.—Last night “Chappie” Jonas took his friend Charles Clarke, of England, six miles below town to hold the bag and candle for snipe. Clarke had been there before and managed to turn the tables on Jonas by getting into the bus and driving back to town. At 2 o’clock this morning a searching party went back and found “Chappie” lost in the woods. They brought him back, and he will never take another “blarsted Britisher” out on a Kentucky snipe hunt.
