send out very plausible circulars, inviting
persons of small' means to place their sur

enabled to so manipulate the same as to
make very handsome returns. Some few
gentlemen inthis city have been led to in

twenty-five dollars to the bogus concern,
upon which he received two small divi
dends, which were followed by losses that
swamped the whole ' amount In other

The untimely end of "our poet' who
committed suicide early yesterday morning
becauae the types isaid Vj-eld- where he
wrote "gate," prevents our-indulging in
any levity over the Fex Hunt of yesterday .
It was a success beyond expectation and all
participants enjoyed it hugely." The
old lovers of the chase In the community
determined recently to - Introduce young
blood into the organization of hunters
which has existed-here for years, and for
fear the new recruits would be disap
pointed on their first bunt they procured a
fox, which was . to ! be turned : Joose where
there would be no uncertainty of recapture.
Unfortunately, however, instead of leading
the dogs a chase the fox promptly "treed it"
on being Iiberated,compelling the hunters to
catch a fox legitimately or return home un
successful, which would, have; probably,
quelled the ardor of the young hunters
and damaged the future prospects of the
Club considerably.. ,,.7
As luck would haye it, after 'beating
around a short while a second trail was
struck, and for an hour the hunters had all
the fun they wanted following the "hounds'
over hill and dale until finally fox number
two succumbed . to force of numbers and
was. treed. ..,-!.!
