Anniston Star October 16, 1903
Mr. Dock Knight, of Christiana, was in Oxford last night. He was enroute home 
from Atlanta. While out possum hunting with a party not so long-ago Mr. Knight 
had an experience that he will never forget. The dogs had treed a possum on the 
opposite side of a good large creek and the hunters began looking for a place to 
cross the stream. The moon was low and caused a good shadow to fall from object. 
The shadow of a large tree was across the creek and in the hurry Mr. Knight 
thought it to be a foot log. "Come on boys" he said and went down over a six feet 
embankment and into five feet of water. It is needless to say that he lost 
interest in the possum.
