spent four days of last week in this
immediate neighbOrhood. Their mis-
sion was fox hunting.
They made Pete Sipple's their head
quarters and came prepared as they
supposed to clean up any fox hounds
in this section. They brought along
four of their best and the favorite dog
was named Speed" and they gave
notice what their dog could and would
do, but the first race they found that
their dog was not equal to his name
and reputation they claimed for him.
When the three Davidson's and Car
ey and Davenport of Bowers brought
Punch, Boxer and Charley into the
contest they were ready to knuckle
down. Sipple's dog, Heck, pleased
them so that they paid him one hun
dred dollars for him and took him
home with them. Sipple entertained
them on Thursday at a duck dinner
and the Marylanders left for their
home well pleased with their sport
and promised to return in short time
for another hunt.
