Brought Down His Hogship at the First
Fire.-Mr. Joseph f. Schmidt is the tenant
| on the Snow Hill Farm, in Worthington Val
ley. For some time Mrs. Schmidt had been
missing her young turkeys and chickens and
was unable to learn the cause. Last Saturday,
| during the absence from home of her husband,
she started out to investigate and directed her
steps toward the orchard, where she heard
great commotion among the young turkeys:
| In her efforts to ascertain the cause she found
| a large grounding in the midst of them and
| as soon as the animal spied her he scrambled
| ND a tree. She called for someone to bring
her husbands gun from the house and as soon
as she got it she blazed away and brought his
hogship to ground with nearly the entire
charge in its head. This was the first time
Mrs. Schmidt ever fired a gun and Mr.. Schmidt
is very proud of her nerve and craftsmanship.
He skinned the animal and has preserved the
hide as a memento of the event. The ground
hog must have been an old one as 1t weighed
30 pounds No doubt he had gotten fat on
Mrs. Schmidt's nice young chicks and turkeys.
