Aldro Davey and Harry Bartle
Dodgeyille sportsmen, are elated over
finding a genuine Southern oppOsum
in a lime kiln near the city. These an
imals are rarely found north of Him

winters caused them to stray farther
north. The opossum, marsupial

akin to pork, when roasted. The south

tatoes, making a dish fit for king.

chased her, tore her dress, and when
he failed in accomplishing his vicious
desire he hit her a brutal blow with
his fist alongside the mouth. There
are four families quartering in the
Globe building and it is their opinion
that the miscreant meant to attack
sixten year old girl who is mem
Der of one of the families residing
there. The culprit escaped.
