was raced out Saturday evening as was
arranged and Bian Russell with his
prize runner was easily declared the win
ner. though all gave the other dog great
credit for the work it did The dogs We're
turned loose at about { O'Clock but it
was almost 9 before either started fox.
At the start Busselrs dog was about two
miles behind the other one. but after two
hours of running overlook him and then
took the lead, which she kept up for the
rest of the night. The running was the
best. all conditions being just as was
wished for such a contest. At about l
o'clock it was decided to call them off.
as Mr. Busselrs dog was far in the lead
and continually gaining. 1t is conceded
by all that there is no better running
fox dog in this vicinity than the winner
of this contest and no amount of money
could now buy her. 1t is thought that
the other dog which belongs in Norway.
will be purchased by parties in this vi
cinity. as it Is declared of the best stock
and breed to be obtained.

dark shirt with white stripe run
ming through it. The pants We're fas-
tened about the waist by a leather
