The present week has bereft Jockey
Hollow of one of its most conspicuous
citizens, although the grip epidemic had
nothing to do with its taking-of REX
| the corpulent raccoon which John G.
Dodge captured early in the spring made
| its getaway one night recently, after
emningly contrived its release from the
attractive home which Mr.. Dodge had
contrived in the yard to the south of his
house. REX" had enjoyed the best the
land afforded, but when the wanderlust

highest price in years. Skunk, muskrat,
foxes, mink and raceoon are in great de.
mand, and for the benefit of those who
feel that every household with only one
feline is to be Stunned, it may be said
that cat skins can be disposed Of readily.
The state game laws permit the taking
of skunk, raccoon and foxes after Oct. 20,
but the taxing of mink and muskrat is
unlawful until Nov. l.
