Evans & Enochs have pur-
chased blood hound and will
keep it as a private investment.
They gave 1t several trial races
the other day and every
time, the game was put up the
tree. They will get another one
soon and keep them well trained
and we hope the undertaking will
prove successful and profitable
to themselves and the community
at large. The FREE Press has
all along advocated the purchase
of blood hounds by the town,
county or private individuals and
we feel gratifed that some one
has needed our suggestions, and
we trust they will realize hand
some profit on their investment
and that it will prove a blessing
to the community.
