PET PONY FALLS BACKWARD
INTO AN OLD WELL

The little brown pet pony belonging
to Jesse Burton stumbled into an old
well Monday near the Burton pasture
falling in backwards and landing on
his rump. The water came nearly up
to his head. Fortunately there were
four or five men, including Grandfath-
er Blake, who were near asd saw the
trouble. They got rope around his
neck and by means of their heavy
pulling and the lunging of the pony
they managed to get him out. All of
which is not of so much importance,
except that the pony was the pet of
the little Burton boy, and he rode him
evenings after the cattle. We will
venture to say the little chap was
mighty glad to see his pet saved.

Country Club Is
Reclaiming Fish
From Intake Ditch

T. W. Jenkins has a crew of men
working rescuing fish from the in
take ditch at the reservoir. The wa
ter has gone down and caught thous-
ands of these fish in the shallow wa
tiers and it means quick action if
these fish are to be rescued before the
water all dries up. They are sorting
out and putting all the perch and bass
rescued into the reservoir and re-
leasing the carp into other waters.
It is impossible to estimate how many
of these fish are found in the shallow
places.
