We were not aware that III. A. Bige-
low was a member of the DEBORAH
Coon Club, but all the same he takes
the cake as coon hunter. Friday
night a commotion among the chickens
aroused the household. H. A., seized
his trusty old musket and marched
forth in the dim moonlight. An
animal was seen, which at first he took
for quadruped that for perfumery can
discount car load of hair oil or a
whole bale of scented pocket handker-
chiefs. So he thought it advisable to
keep at a proper distance from the foe.
Upon closer examination he thought
1t was bear, but as his gun was loaded
for "bar' he blazed away and down
came coon that tipped the scales at
so pounds, and just previous down had
gone half dozen small chickens.
LATER-we are informed that the coon
was tame one that had strayed away
from home and thus came to an un-
timely end.
