it is still thriving.

Last week this little place was all

Rooster Was Fun of Fight.

A game cock is natural pugnacious,
but it generally confines its aggressions
to its own kind, with an occasional dash
at a dog or cat. A Baltimore bird is an
exception The other day woman,
with child in her arms, went into the
yard, and the cock Immediately few at
the child, driving pur into its cheek.
Then it attacked the woman, and
fought for several minutes, tearing her
gown into shreds. Fortunately man
appeared on the scene with long whip
and he piled it SO vigorously that the
bird was glad to run away.

We thought it was understood that
Mr.. Mcdonald was to keep out Of the
friendly contest in this town between
Budd and Wier for support to the
county convention. What. then, is
the meaning Of the Teller's alluson to
the "Wier-McDonald wing in its
write-up last week? The inference
certainly is that Wier and Mcdonald
were working together, secretly If not
openly, and the Teller ought to know.
This was all right so far as Mr.. Wier
was concerned, No one could blame
him for getting help whenever he
could. but how about a man who was
ITO keep hands oif?'
