Multiple Crow Killing Record Claimed by Chauncy Wood.

Here is a unique record: Chauncy Wood, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Wood, killed 18 crows at one shot the other day, and believes his record has never been excelled in Jasper county. If others can beat it we shall be pleased to hear from them. Chauncey explains the manner in which he killed so many at one shot. They had butchered hogs and some of the offal was dumped back of the barn. t The crows were soon making a feast on it and Chauncy slipped into the barn and emptied one barrel into tXe bunch. An inventory showed that 18 had fallen at the ene shot. < Boys, buy your girl a chafing dish for "Xmas at RhOadqs' hardware store.
