We have sO-called fish stories, /
and now this is our latest: A prom
inent Bridgeville young man pur-
chased rabbit puppy last fall. A
short time elapsed and it became ill |
and it was necessary to resort to
medicine, which if responded to /
quickly; then it was fed from a
nursing bottle VRtil it was restored
to normal health. So this year on
Monday, the first day the law was
out, it was out on a hunt and was
lost. Valuing the dog so much the
young man returned on Tuesday in
search Of it; to find it was still run
ming the same rabbit, which he i'm
mediately shot and returned with his
dog. We believe the above to be true
and further more is vOuched for by
Harley Richards, who was present
