I. A Spunky Woman.-Mrs. VIM. II. Free
burn, of Losh's Run has been losing
good many chickens and on Thursday
night, hearing noise among her poul-
trys, she went out to reconnoiter. She
had not been gone long before she called
for help, and her husband hearing her
went to her relief, and found she had
grappled with an owl which was in the
act of carrying away a chicken. AL
though the bird was making a savage
attack on her, she was holding on
bravely, and she actually succeeding in
capturing it. The owl was as large as a
hen, and measured almost five feet from
tip to tip of wing. We think there are
few women in this county who would
care to undertake such capture.
