AS some Breckenridge hunt
ers were after chickens near
Foxhome, farmer undertook
to annihilate the lot. First he
tried to crush their rig by run
ming into them with a hay
rack. Then he thought he
would carve up the dogs with
knife, but that would not
work so he invited some one
out to fight. His invitation
was accepted with alacrity,
whereupon the irate farmer
climbed back on his wagon and
made off. He had no signs up
on the place and the boys had
no idea they were unwelcome.
Had the farmer told them
decently that they were tres
passing, they would have left
without a Notwithstanding
Telegram.
The boys,whoever they were,
ought to have gone at once, no
matter in what tone of voice
asked to do so.

caused his death; that he tried once
too often, while lying in bed, to turn

He was asphyNiatcd by gas that es-

to get into bed and read or smoke,
and then to turn off the gas with @
cane or umbrella.
