the Old Goose Pond, south Of Dutch
town Thursday night in quest Of frogs.
They found the game plentiful and
soon succeeded in bagging more than
fifty pounds of fine ones, the largest
of which weighed one and thrcc-qUar-
ter pounds.
They wadcd through the sluggish
waters and shined the frogs in the
edges Of the flags by means of an auto
lamD, and when they would locate one
that they thought worthy, they would
spear him and drop him into the sack
which was strapped to Alvin Kcmpe.
The stagnant waters of the pond
abounded with large water moccasins
and CottOnmOuth snakes and the young
men were kept busy avoiding the
fangs of these venomous reptiles.
When Price Banes stepped into one
of the soft oozy formations occasional
~ encountered in the bed of the lake,
he began to sink in the soft mud and
but for the timely arrival of some of
his companions he would have per-
haps been lost. A spear handle was
placed in his reach and when he seized
it in the center, he was dragged to
safety by the other members of the
party who held to each end and pulled
him out of his predicament.

were in strange part of the lake, and
when they reached the bank they were
unable to find their bearings and for
hours wandered aimlessly in the dense
forest. They were able to reach civil

They were guided by the sounds and
when they reached the house of tie
maker, he accompanied them to the

Almost Mature
Fakes of Frogs
Foxes and Men
A Days Diary of Nimrods in
the Woods Reported 10
The Daily Tribune.

A large pet bull frog, owned by
Charles H. Overstolz and Arthur Vo-
gel, and living in goose puddle in the
horse lot at the Cape Brewery & lee
Co. plant, was assaulted yesterday
afternoon by three geese. The frog
had taken an afternoon off and was
playing with two goslings.
The young geese would chase the
frog into the puddle and then the frog
would drive them out. They were hay
ing the time of their lives, when the
frog, eager to show the goslingsa good
time, hoped out on the bank and
croaked at the little geese.
The mama geese and ganGer, which
had been watching the didos of the
frog, took offense at this remark and
waddled toward the frog. He was sit
ting on the bank, wondering what the
gOslings thought of his very nifty lit
tie remark, when the parent geese
struck him from behind.
The frog was dazed by a peck on
the head from the old gander and
! tOppled over almost unconscious. He
kicked at one of the mother geese as
she struck at him with iler right wing
This act Of violence on the part OF the
pet bull frog enranged the gander
which committed assault and battery
on the frog.
Nj. Overstolz and Mr.. Vogel, who
were building q trapeze for the frog
only a short distance away, were at,
tracted by the commotion, and hasten
ed to the rescue. The gander was re-
moved from the PROSTATE frog and
severely reprimanded. The vicious OLD
male goose showed his contempt fol
the peace makers by honking> defiantly
as he stepped over to apatch Of weeds

While Mr.. Overstolz strofled the
limbs of the frog in IN effort to re-
viyc circulation, Mr.. Fogel hasteneC

revived Mr.. Bull Frog and it plunged
into the goose puddle to hide his
shame.

terday morning, their attention was
directed to some strange object a short
distance ahead Of them, which seemed
TO make its way with considerable diff
ficuIty When they drove closer they
discovered that the object of their
curiosity was gray fox trudging UNI
der the load of a large gander which
he had captured from i flock of geese
that they had seen in the creek short
distance back.
Mr.. Ramsey stated that the fox
was of a silvery gray color, and ap-
peared to be much smaller and had
shorter limbs than the red fox. Rey-
nard had killed his victim and held it
with a firm grasp by the neck, drag
cling the carcass with much effort over

waters edge to the bluff. When the
men had driven to within fifty feet
Of the fox, they saw it drag its prey
into a hole in a rock bluff at the road
side, where it had its den.
