The hounds frightened out two large

had large prairie fire before them.
The fire getting out of their control,
branched off into a hay field, and
consumed foul. stacks of hay. The

fight fire until it was extinguished,
when all returned to town tired and

be fifteen small rabbits and two Jack

hairs friends royalty entertained. The
fire is one of the largest ever wit
