Jasper County Democrat, Volume 20, Number 88, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 February 1918 — Farmer Kills Two Coons. [ARTICLE]
Farmer Kills Two Coons.
Nashville. Feb. I.—James Williams, a farmer four miles south of here, killed two large coons in his henhouse a few nights ago. He heard a noise in the henhouse, and when he got to the door he pushed it shut and peeped in. When he discovered what was causing the noise, he fastened the door until he could get the shotgun. One of the coons weighed 25 pounds. Williams says he is sure the coons have been stealing his chickens, as he has missed ten in the last few nights.
