belonged three miles east of Logan,
after roaming among the farmers in
a circuit of ten miles, came to the

north. Thinking it would be foe

attempted to catch 1t, but in their eff

Guthrie and Wesley, we're bitten. AT
once it occurred to the family that
the animal might be mad. Accord

stone refused to adhere. and they
are all at home now, none the worse
for the adventure.
