Orville Maxwell, who has worked for Clarence Maxwell the past season, went to Francesville Sunday to remain with his parents until corn husking time, when he will return to Hanging Grove to help harvest the golden grain. A. couple of nimrods from Rensselaer beat a hasty retreat from Hanging Grove Monday evening, with the trustee and squire pursuing them very closely. The chase was lively until the pot hunters’ pony gave out and /V they were overtaken about a mile east of town, where they made a solemn vow never to return to Hanging Grove Their first excuse was squirrel hunting, but were soon advised that oats and wheat stubble was a very poor place’ to 'hunt squirrels. Anyway, judging from the way the parties ran for a mils, through a corn field, it would seem that they were after a wolf Instead of squirrels. The farmers are all the gam® wardens needed here. They feed and protect the game as much as raise the produce for the city people, and they expect to say by whom and when their game shall be killed in season. A large number of the city pot hunters never know a farmer at meal time. r Want to sell or rent it? If you do, try The Republican Classified-Column. Phone 18.
