— That long-disputed question as to whether Chlef of Police Thomas B. Brown, of Westerly, or Allen ¥, Miner of Asbaway, was the champion fox hunter and owned the better dog, has finally settled. Mr. Miner has decided the guestion fayorable to him- self. Mr. Miner was born in North Stonington and lives in Ashaway and is -therefore beyond the police juris- diction of Chief Tom Brown and can- not be haled into court and prove his claim, but Tom_declares he will make his friend Al Miner alight from his high horse and take his hat off to the champion. While Miner, now in his sixty-second year, is one of the most noted hunters in eastern Con- necticat southern Rhode Tsland and has a dog worth while, there is i is divided from his own Ashaway by a bridged siream and he #ays that Tom Brown and a few othes Westerly chaps who know just a little of the hunting game have been trying to put just one over on him on account of his “o'mery dawg.” Here is Al Miner's adventures, as depicted by himself: “For years I have been hunting fox- es in Connecticut and Rhode Island, 1 suppose, and I really believe it to be true, that I have killed more foxes %n any other one man hereabouts. en I was a young man the farmers of eastern Connecticut used to be Bothered a great deal by these pesky mpisances, especially those who made & business of raising turkeys. “Three or four foxes would get busy and in a night make great Inroads on & turkey flock. In the neighborhood of Pendleton Hill, about seven miles north of Ashaway, there ars more foxes and "soons than you can count, so it seems to_me at times. 7 “I remember that one day, about 35 ears ago, 1 was called over to Charles Yaine's piace to rid the neizhborhood of foxes that in a single night had destroysd more than 100 chick turks. TUsing a good dog I soon got track of B NOTICE Neabice is hereby given to all per- sens who may have claims against “The First National Bank of Nor- wich,” Connecticut, that- the same must be presented to Harold G.

WHAT IS INTERESTING WESTERLY Phast oL oot sEroL : Chief of Police Brown Sure His Fox Dog is Superior to that of Allen F. Miner—Latter Thinks Otherwise—Longevity Claim for Col. Pendleton—Circus Performances Pleased. ‘| Stearn: the marauders and bagged-a mother fox with six young ones. “I have made a business of breaking dpgs_to hunting. Three years. or S0 ago Lgot a new dog. I.wanted a good fox hound. The pup I received looked about as promising for what I haped to develop as a dog might selected from the litter of a tenement district mongrel. As he grew biggeg his_ tail spread like a plume and all the boys over in Westerly joked me about my rabbit dog. Some of them carried the joke so far that they began mailing me little boxes, inclosing wire. snares. grass, whistle to my rabbit dog and let him chase a fox to me, when I could slip the snare on its leg. I never said anything, but kept right on training that dog. Somehow or other it seemed to me that he ought to amount to something, considering that he came from good stock; besides, he was not responsible for the tail ornamentation ~—that was just a freak of nature. Pretty soon I went out with that alleged Tabbit dog and the way Don, that is his name, caught the scent of a fox and ran him down was a cau- tion. Tn all I have bagsed 32 foxes since I began to two months agoSH since 1 began taking Don out. From August, 1912, to two mohths ago Don and T gathered in 24 foxes. Now when 1 want to get the goat of my friend, Tom Brown, the Westerly chief of police, I ask him if he would not like to borrow a good rabbit dog or a set of brass wire snoods. Why, the first time I took Don out we got a whopping fox and we killed four or five more right off the reel in the next few mornings. “I'll be willing to wager that I've got in Don the best fox and 'coon dog this part of the country. Those s over in Westerly who thought they had the laugh on me are sing- ing pretty low at the present time. I'm thinking of having Don's picture taken and having it framed in brass wire snares, kind of wound about it I mean, and sending it to_Chief Brown. When Don and I get through hunting foxes over‘in the chief’s country thera won't be anything for Tom to do but sit with one of those wire snares and a iglhted candle waiting for the fox that will never come, 'cause Don and I will ‘have bagged them all” With the exception of Judge John . Sweeney, of Westerly, who is en- gaged in the superior court for Kent county at East Greenwich in a case that will be concluded in a few days, the vacation period is now on for the judges of the supreme and superior courts of Rhode Island.
