IN John Books woodland in Walker
township, has been. the source of great
sport for the hunters. A large number Of
men and fifteen dogs turned ont on Sat-
nrday to catch the animal, but the fox led
them . merry chase all day in the vicinity
of Mexice, and about o'clock in the after
noon it trotted quietly up the ravine that
borders the south side of Miffiintown. Only
one hound was then in pursuit, and it was
half fnile behind the fox.
