chained up. 1t took us about half an
hour to get dressed and armed to sally
forth for the purpose of Investigating
Not discovering anything we loosened
the dogs and they darted off on trail,
yelping as they went. After long
run the dogs brought up at the hen
house and tried to tear it down. Well,
sir, an old fox had deliberately showed
himself to the dogs so as to excite
them, made that run while we were
getting ready for trouble and was
robbing the roost while the dogs were
off the premises. Z" {" walked up one
moonlight night" volunteered the
man on the wood box, " and seen fox
under an apple tree where tat pullet
was roosting. knew the thief couldn't
climb, so | just stood at the window
laughing The fox barked to wake up
the chicken and then began circling
around the tree, slow at first, but going
faster and faster. OF course the terri
fed pullet followed him with her eyes
and got so dizzy that she fell out OF the
tree" II see something like that
once" said the lank individual on the
counter, d" only that the chicken | was
watchin' wrung it's own neck cause the
fox was goin' so burned fast" Then
by common consent, the crowd took up
the subject of the electric railway.
