Travis of near Starrucca was on Sat
urday attracted by the constant bark
ing of his dog near the edge of the
woods. He made an investigation and
discovered the object OF his d1og's at

bushy tail. in some unaccountable
manner. had caught in the rough bark
of hickory sapling, and in the effort
of Reynard to escape had become Sc
curely fastened to the sapling. The
