One Randolph woman qualified on
Monday as a Glass A marksn7an. The
tale runs like this. Monday forenoon
Gardiner business man whose home
is in Randolph received a telephone
call from his wife asking where he had
left his revolver. The man. somewhat
worried, asked If anything was wrong
and received a negative reply He in
formed her where his revolver was and
told her that 1t was loaded.
Later in the day he again answered
the phone when madam called and
was told that If he knew Of ANYBODY
over there that wanted a skunk skin
to send them over. His skunkship had
been In the vicinity nearly all summer,
and made the piazza of this house the
danger zone. Often at night when
coming home the occuapnts of the
house were obliged to use the back
door. as their right to enter at the
front was contested. On Monday the
attentions of the skunk became most
offensive. and as a consequence he
fills an early grave with no mourners.
