Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 19, Number 50, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 February 1898 — A Red Fox Killed. [ARTICLE]

A Red Fox Killed.

George Katchmark, of Kankakee township, was in town Tuesday and brought with him, to claim the county bounty, the skin of a red fox, which he shot about a month ago, while out hunting rabbite. The animal was young, but nearly full grown. He saw two others of the same size, and one larger one. So far as he has heard the foxes there do not seem to make any raids on the farmers’ hen roosts, but confine their attention mainly to the extirpation of rabbits.
