The dogs never seem to have any other kind. They always get their brush. Saturday, however, Frcdcre and the hounds had a chase that netted a little more than -the usual results. They got two foxes, one right after the other and with both chases occurtng in the town limits. The first chase resulted in the capture of a bob tailed fox. In place of the tail the animal only had a twoinch stub. He was unable to tell the tale of losing his tail. The second fox was normal.

The record of his pack of young hounds has been almost unbelievable, and the fame - of the Fredere hounds has spread all through the extern states.
