coon dogs are held, maintaining that
coon dogs really are as distinct a
breed as fox hounds or other recog

the county were present for the rabbit

night. The two women were re-

the accident occurred, the women
were walking on. the pavement.
The car. coming behind them, was

The suddenness Of the accident
and the fact that both women were
stunned, made it impossible for

ever, that it was q Ford, and were
certain that it was without lights.
