The fox chase at Stockton on Monday
was grand affair. There were many
dogs from the surrounding country. The
fox was let 60 eight minutes before the
dogs were, when the word was given by
French by shooting off revolver. The
dogs were let go and the fox did some
good running, but 1t was hard 10 tell
which were ahead, the dogs or some OF
the men. The last seen going over the
hill was Spence Dilts. II is said that Mr..
Dilts freed the fox at Sandy Ridge, In
Holcombe's woods, In a hickory tree, six
ty feet high. The two-legged dog was
there first, Jack Majors dog second. Col.
Lewis climbed the tree and got the fox by
the tail. The fox then jumped to the
ground and was picked up by some OF
the hungry wolves. Credit is given to
Majors dog and Dilts as the best runner.
The big man from Lambertville got of
the six O'Clock train, at Stockton, one
night last week, and some Of the boys
got over the bridge in hurry.
Prayer meetings are being held at the
Stockton Presbyterian Church every even
ing during this week.
Heavy rain on Sunday night. The
Lambertville boys came up, all the same.
They are good mud diggers.
Sergeantsville beats the world for shoot
ing matches and opossum roasts.
t. Survey, the great pigeon shooter,
has been having pigeon shooting matches
at different places this Winter. He came
to Stockton last Saturday and held a
match there. A great many sports from
the surrounding country were on hand.
Surveys birds were good flyers. His
clerk is what you might call a swamp
clerk. After taking down many names
and they had got cold be could not read
them himself. SO the shooters called out
their own names. After o number OF
birds had been killed, the swamp clerk
was found behind the box keeping score
by counting the dead birds. This &C
counts for the big man from Pennsylva-
MIA being shot at Sergeantsville by the
bush wackers.
