Word is coming from all sections of the
large number Of partridge in the woods this
fall owing to the extreme dry season, and
some curious shots and captures have been
reported. One man, whose word is perfectly
good, says he shot three cartridges the first
day of the open season with his revolver,
But the best yet is the capture alive of large,
fat particle by Miss Agnes McMaster of Pine
street in Rutland, She was driving just at
dusk on the road from South Wallingford the
other evening when she stirred up a bird be-
side the road. She got out of the wagon and
gave chase and finally caught him and now
has the bird captive at her home. The only
reasonable explanation OF the capture is that
he was too fat to run, as he was not wounded.
