Hunted Foxes

Luther Wright, James Way
land, George Carlstead, ct al.
and about a score of fox hounds
made the incidental music for a
pretty stage setting of hills,
woods and moonlight Monday
night. The foxes also figured
therein as the dogs had up as
many as three foxes at a time
and their baying furnished
plenty of music for the audience.
No foxes were caught as this is
not the intention, the only in
tention being to give the foxes
and dogs exercise and the hunt
ers a thrill of pleasure as they
listened to the music. The dogs
chased the fast brushtails until
past midnight. The boys got
back about 2 m. 1t was one
fine chase.

Pretty Little Red Wagon

A pretty little chemical wagon
painted red, with golden stripes
bearing the name ''Keytesville"
in gold letters just as if it had
originally been made for this
city, has been up at the Sterner
& Raines shop for some time. In
fact, several months. 1t was
brought there to demonstrate its
efficacy a s a fire squelcher.
When the machine first came,
the weather was so bad that the
inventor had to leave without
trying it out. The builders ask
ed that the city build a suitable
bonfire up near the court house
to give the machine a test. The
test was to be made Wednesday.
The authorities declared it too
windy. The men who claim
their machine just eats flames
when whipped into ferocity by a
heavy wind, felt sore and indig-
nent because the city authorities
declared the day too windy and
feared the town might be set
afire. That was just what they
were there to prevent and they
pined with all the ardor of men
certain of the rectitude of their
cause for a chance to handle just
such a fire. They told their
grievance to a reporter and de-
clared that if the fire was not
forthcoming by Wednesday night
they would move the machine
out forthwith. A fire was built
"wednesday afternoon near the
Stamper poultry house and the
demonstrator proceeded to put it
out with their chemicals. The
chemicals put out the bonfire but
it is probable the city council
will not spend $1O50 for the
machine.
