ORANGE COUNTY

Sallie. have returned from their visit In the
northern part of the state.
e, j. Buchhem, a German farmer living
between this city and Orange, came into
town this morning with a shotgun under
his arm and blood in his eye, looking for
young man named Fox. Buchhelm
claims that Fox went to his place early
this morning, ostensibly for the purpose
of hunting rabbits, but finding this variety
of game rather scarce, attempted to bag a
few of the chickens which were foraging
in Buchheim's bean patch. The owner OF
the fowls says he charged upon the tres
passer empty handed, and after desper-
ate tussle took FoX's gun away from him
and drove him off the place. Later, it
seems, Buchhem recapitulated his grev-
ances and determined to have another ac-
counting. He applied for a warrant for
Fox but the officers declined to take stock
in his troubles so he went on a still hunt
on his own account. AS no report of hos
tilities has reached town, it is likely that
the matter has been arbtrated and set
tied without resort to arms.

Scrambling through n creek choked

and attempted to push through the dense
underground in the direction of the tur-
moil. More easily said than done.
The profound density of that tropical
forest Is indescribable. Thorns palms,
lianas and other crcepers were bound to-
gether in an elastic but impenetrable mass,
and it was only by crawling on all fours
that any progress was possible. Fearsome
creatures, but half seen in the somber for

fortunately he was out of sight before q
