alleged collie fought death battle In
the Wapsie, river q few days ago. The
collie, out with its master while hunt
ing along the stream, located the coon
and routed it from Its den. The coon
smaneuvered until 1t had rolled the dog
over the bank into the water, and then
It tried all the arts known to coons to
drown It's antagonist. The master was
fearful of violating the law by shoot
ing fur-bearing animal out OF sea-
son. Finally, when he saw the collie
" as about &c he killed he took the risk
OF prosecution by shooting the coon as
IT was perched on the back OF the
struggling collie. The coon was taken
home, skinned, stuffed with oyster
dressing. garlanded with onions, and;
eaten. There will be no prosecution,
as the coon is not listed among the,
fur bearing animals In Iowa
