Townsville Times-Enterprise: 1t
is we'll known that g fox will try
many sly lodges to ouUwit his pur-
suers, and a number of sportsmen
were witnesses Of this fact Monday
night. For several days a gray fox,
caught near Iamonia, has been kept
in captivity by Milton Ball at his
home on Crawford street. Monday
night was superb for a moonlight
chase, and a party of horsemen,
with dogs and fox, repaired to the
Hawkins place, three miles from the
city, where the chase commenced.
The fox led the dogs a partial semi.
circle and then made straight
shoot for the city. Through the
streets he dashed and never halted
until safe in a tree in Mr.. Balls
yard, over the very spot where his
cage had been. Wonderingly the
horsemen followed the dogs as they
took the trail for home, and their
astonishment was complete when
they were greeted by ''brer" fox
himself. Reynard is again enjoying
his snug cage.
