Local and Moosup Hunters Get 21 IA Pound Coon-CIosinq Exercises in the Schools.

A coon weighing twenty-one and a quarter pounds was caught at Ayers Gap, Thursday night by Chris Bren- nan, Louis Trudeau and Ben Burdick of this town, and Howard B. Allen, Fred H. Parent and Arthur o. Ostby of Moosup. The men left here in an automobile about 6.45 Thursday eve ming and arrived at the Gap about o'clock They did not expect to be successful in their hunting, as the season for coon hunting has gone by. Paddy, the famous coon Ndog, treed the coon and seventeen shots were required to bring the big fellow down. When he got to the ground he gave one of the dogs the battle of his life and bit the dog severely.
 The hunters feel well rewarded, as the coon is the biggest caught this season. It is very unusual to catch one so late as this.
