Springs, and well known in this vicin-

one night last week while enroute to
his home from Meyersdale. Near
Boynton he saw something dart across
the road and felt that the car had
passed over some object; he stopped
to investigate and found a gray fox
lying on the road, apparently dead,
which he put into the rear compart-
ment of his machine. Before he got

upon arriving at home the fox was
transferred to a chicken coop and
later to a pen, constructed especially
for him where he is recovering from
his accident.
