No More Fox Hunts for Him.
Arthur B. Suit, sheriff of Prince Georges county, Md., says he never again will indulge In a fox chase. He always was fond of the sport, but on the occasion of his last chase he had such an unpleasant and exciting experience that he concluded to go after smaller game in the future. “We had been out but a short while,” he related to friends, “before we were on a trail, but it took us some time to dig the fox from his hole. A skunk was the fox’s companion and both came out together." Both animals were killed and taken to Forestville. “yfith our party, was a dare-devil sort of a fellow,” the sheriff Baid, “and he rode his horse through the village store, the skunk hanging to the animal's side. “The store was quickly deserted,” he added, “and I resolved to participate In no more such hunts.”
