FOXES
ARE ANNOYING THE FARMERS
BY CATCHING THEIR CHICK
ENS-SPORTsM WILL
HAVE TO WATCH OUT.

The farmers are complaining
great deal about foxes catching their
chickens: For the past few years il
has been the custom with the local
sportsmen to bring young foxes hare
and turn them loose. Then in the
winter the men have a fine time chas-
ing them with hounds. Care is taken
not to kill the foxes and the sports
men threaten violence if the farmers
kill them. Now the foxes are becom-
ing a nuisance. Chickens are not
safe and threats have been made by
some vile miscreants to burn the
farmers houses if they xii the foxes
Now If the writer was one OF the
farmers he would shoot all the foxes.
that attempted to catch his chickens
and then if some would-be sportsman
fooled around with any of his threats
he would be treated with about as
much respect as the foxes. 1t is very
nice for people to have their fun, but
the raising of poultry is a source OF
great income to the farmers and they
should be protected.
The farmers report the crops grow
ing nicely and everything doing Well.
The only trouble is caused by cut
worms which are very bad this wet
weather.

and Forbes pjIt in a number of left jaoS
and right uppercuts on the champion $
face.
The blows, however. had little effect
ON Nell, who rushed constantly
throughout the round.
At the opening of the third round it
seemed that Forbes was about TO gain
the upper hand. He sent a straight
left to NeilFs face Strengthening him
up, and then crossed with the right to
the jaw. he repeated this twice more
without a return. AS they backed
away from a cliuch Nell let so q vic

the second time. While he was lying
Ou the floor his seconds threw a towel
into the ring as a token of defeat. but
neither of the lighters nor the referee
noticed it and as soon as Forbes was
on his feet the fight began more fierce
ly than before. Forbes put a right on
Neiil's jaw that sent him whirlns
across the ring. NeuI recovered quick

meet him Nell hooked his right to the
