Strange Squirrel

One day last week Mr.. Julius G..
Jehnsor who lives about nine miles
Above Dawson was in town and
told us Of n strange adventure he
had with squirrel. 1t seems that
he was out in his corn field, lew
days back, where he saw a half
grown cat squirrel coming toward
him, He picked up q small pine
limb, his first thought being to kill
It, but knowing that he could out
rdn the little animal he drop the
limb and got ready for the race.
However the race did not come off
as the squirrel came right straight
30 him and not being driven away
jumped upon the stranger as though
he he'd been an old friend and ran
and played abou. him in quite
familiar manner. Mr. j. was
greatly surprised at the actions of
the squirrel, o~ever he C FRIED him
home and put him in u box, after
keeping him Confinement for day
be decided to turn him out and let
him go back to the forest. When
liberated the little fellow went out
in the yard aud played among the
branches of the trees and when
tired of this sport returned to the
house az naturally as though he
ha5 been raised there. Mr.. j.
has the squirrel yet though he is
unable to accout for its being 80
gentle. He says h1 is acquainted
in the neighborhoCd and does not
know of a pet squirrel that could
have escaped.
