Mounted Fine Specimens.

George w. Sollars, taxidermist of
this town, has recently mounted
three beautiful specimens, a silver
fox, an English pheasant and an
English startling. The silver fox is
rare in this locality and is supposed
to have escaped from a small circus
in the neighborhood of Rowland
vile, where it was killed by dogs.
The fur of the specimen is silver
gray, save for a white throat and a
large brush with a black streak
down the center.
The starting is also from the
Rowlandville section, while the
English pheasant, which was male
bid with beautiful plumage and
long tail, belongs to party near
Woodlawn, who had pen of three
birds for breeding purposes. The
male bird died and when Mr.. Sol
lars mounted it he discovered a
grain of shot about it's head, show
ing that some of our so-cailed
"sportsmen" had been sneaking
about the owners premises and shot
at the bird, wounding it and caus-
ing it's death later.
