john A. Buckley has had an interest
ing experience with a live coon. The
experience has been rather expensive
on the whole. and yet Mr.. Buckley's
friends give him the laugh whenever
they see him. The coon was presented
to him by a friend, on Friday last 1t
was in a cage and Mr.. Buckley took
the whole outfit to his workshop on
Wade street. He supplied the animal
with green corn>and lots of other food
and left him for the night. Saturday
morning, when Mr.. Buckley arrived at
the chop it didn't take him a great
while to find out that the coon was
gone He had broken out of his cage
and had disappeared. Later on, Mr..
Buckley found to his bitter chagrin
that the beast before going away had
gotten foul of his blacksmith bellows
and had chewed the leather sides into
strings The bellows cost $12 and it is
now a perfect wreck. Mr.. Buckley
doesn't propose to accept another coon
as a present, if ne knows himself.
