Shot Fox with Golf Ball.

Foxes have been trapped shot and
poisoned from pioneer days, but it has
remained for Mortimer Pagan of Troy,
n Y. to kill one with golf ball. and
Mr. Fagan is extremely proud OF the
exploit.
Early in the week Mr.. Pagan went
out on the links to practice and had
made the third tee when a strong
head wind came up and he was forced
to drive with all his strength to send
the gutta percha ball any distance.
Just beyond the tee was a natural
hazard consisting Of stone pile and
a brook. and to clear the latter he
struck, with all his might.
The ball went a bit low, struck the
stone pile, caromed and, bounding over
the water, struck in the bushes close
10 the bank. The instant the ball
landed Mr.. Pagan heard weird, pc
cular cry, and ran forward. The next
instant he came upon red fox writh-
ing at the edge of the brook. The
hard ball had caught him between the
eyes as he was drinking and he died
before the man reached him.
