C. F. Hill and Fred Small had quite an ex-
perience one day the past week in an attempt
to capture Mr.. Hills two wild heifers, which
have been at large several months. They
finally drove the animals into the swamp
back of the Swanvile mill road and sue
ceeded in capturing one. The other broke
its way through the ice. crossing a small
pond, and escaped to the woods on the other
side. The animal captured. after becoming
satisfied it could not escape, gave up and
was as docile as any ordinary beast of the
kind could be. although at the least unusual
sound it was very nervous.
