Susuuehanna, Nov. 80. Thomas
Schaefer, a farmer residing near Kirk
wood, had in mind to fell a large oak
tree on his land when he met some
Binghamton sportsmen out after game.
He made fun of small game like suuir-
rels, and said Coons were the thing to
hunt. They at once wanted to know
where coon could be found. He told
of nest in the big oak. Thereupon
the Bnghamton chaps borrowed axes
and went at the tree. They cut 1t down.
encoura ged by Mr.. Schaefer. who
seemed greatly surprised that no coons
were found.
