hunters and others living In the coun-

The chuck exhibited by Mr.. Haz-

perfectly white except a very few
brown hairs at the tip Of his tail.
Pink eyes further emphasize the al
bino characteristics.
The woodchuck was caught when
but a few weeks old by a nephew Of
Mr.. Hazard, but escaped. Some time
later Mr.. Hazard located the partly
grown animal, and after trying to dig
him out finally caught him in a steel
trap and succeeded in getting him
without severely injuring the leg. That
night the chuck gnawed out of a box
made of inch boards and escaped.
Some days later he was again 10
Gated and caught. Since then he has
been In captivity.
The woodchuck has never taken a
drink of water, so far as Mr. Hazard
knows, since he was caught. He Is
kept In tin lined box for safety.
