WATERFOWL.
A GREAT FOX STORY.

Charles Smith, who lives in the north
part of our town, is well-ro-do farmer,
and, like all well-to-do farmers, has q
large flock of hens, ducks and turkeys.
OF late Mr. Smith has missed a number
of his best hens, but for the life OF him
he couldn't find out what had become OF
them. From day to day more of his
flock was missing. Last Sunday morn
ing, while taking q stroll south of his
barn, not 20 rods away from the latter,
he noticed an old woodchuck hole, and
it appeared to him as il the ground in
front of it looked somewhat suspicious.
For years this hole has been there, but
of late neither he nor any of his men
have seen any woodchucks around. A
few feathers which were scattered about
the hole put him on his guard, and he
decided to watch it closely. 1t wasn't
very long when, to his greatest surprise,
be saw four little foxes playing around
like kittens, with the old mother keeping
gnard over them. At the least noise the
mother would give sound and the little
ones would disappear, as Charles ex-
resses it so tersely, ''like CREASED light
ming" He began to think Of his sCOleE
chickens, but remembered hearing Henry
Plat, our renowned fox hunter, say
time and again, that fox near a, mans
premises WOuIQ never SGedI 1FOm ulm
but on the contrary would keep other
Reynards away. Wednesday afternoon
Charles Smith and his brother, Edward
brought Bufford Bierce, who has the re-

would have been justified in shooting
these men down, but yet he raised not
hand against them! Clarence John
son had cause which would put any
reasonable man in apprehension of his
life It was such danger that any rea-
sonably provident or timorous man
would think threatened his life. Such
would make a reasonable man retreat,
and he did retreat-twenty feet from
the sidewalk into the street and north
ward. There are only two
conclusions to come to, gentlemen of
the jury, and | want to give you facts
upon which base these conclusions.
The witnesses are Annie Riley, Annie
Kane, 'Stoney' Duffy, VIM. Craig, DR..
Armbrecht, Frank Mclaughlin, and
Samuel Young. The latter two are
particularly important in their contra
diction and Measurements of fact. They
should be discredited and repudiated.
The next most important witness is
Annie Riley, and then comes little
Annie Kane, who corroborates her, if
she needs any confederation. Annie
Riley has not been impeached, and
cannot be. The testimony of DR.. Arm
brecht was, that if Clarence johnson
fired the shot that killed Charles Nc
Laughlin, he must have had his arm
raised, and the evidence of Edward
Dailer is equally important. Then
comes the evidence of William Craig
and, over and above all, the evidence
of William Craig's revolver.
If there was any crime at all, it was
manslaughter. If this man
shot Charles Mclaughlin down, it was
because Charles Mclaughlin was in
the act Of shooting him down, and the
evidence shows it. The cause
of Charles McLaughlin's death was
