date there are two of these rodents

declaration. His wrath results from
depredations committed by the little
animals in the hennery back Of the
Sturgis residence. After losing sew
eral of his prize fat hens, he made
an investigation that convinced him
that badgers had been preying upon
the roost. He secured a steel trap
and set it before hole he had dis
covered. Saturday he was rewarded
by finding one Of the animals caught
in the jaws of the trap. He set II
again and early this morning discov'

the two went after the badger which
was throwing dirt UP like a steam
