AN EXCITING HUNT.
Especial to THE TrMEs)

Lowell. Ind. Oct. 6.--An exciting fox
hunt through the night reused the
country side in West Creek township
early Sunday. 1t was an event that
city sportsmen would give half their
lives TO participate in.
A little stray beagle hound, home
less, friendless and unbeautiful, dis
covered fox. He Immediately set
about to advertise the fact and as a
first convert won Ellsworth Lloyd. a
veteran ditch digger.
Off shot Towser with Lloyd in pur-
suit. BY cireumventing a field and ar
irving al the entrance of grove the
ditch digger was able to enjoy the
luxury of shooting at a fox.
A bullet entered the animals right
fore leg. Towser did the rest after a
long chase. The fox. however, nearly
succeeded in killing him.
OF all the dogs in Lake county to-
day Towser is the most honored- His
pedigree won't bearing looking at but
no one cares. The highent distinction
it is possible for dog to attain is his.

Their quarrel became so heated that
one threatened the other with a shot
