The Harris-Jordan fox hunt was on the Oscar Kenyon farm in the Woody Hill district near Bradford. Another fox was killed by Nathan Main of Laurel Glen in the Stubtown district, near Pendleton Hill. While all this was going on Chief Thomas E. Brown took a trip to the farm of John Jerry Davis, in Lower Pawcatuck. Mr. Davis was anxious to rid his farm of the fox and offered Chief Brown $5 if he would kill the ox. Chief Brown and companion,with dog and gun, went on the hunt, and in a short time the chief shot and killed the fox. He would not acoept the re- ward, being satisfled to have permit to unt’ the farm for more foxes. The pelt was given to Chief Brown's com- panion as reward for his company, and he sold the pelt and received a bounty for the nose of the fox. Chief | Brown, while Tealizing the damaging nature’ of the fox to the farmers, is a strong bellever that they can be just s effectually disposed of by gun and dog with pick and shovel, and that those who use the latter imple- ments should not be classed as fox hunter Maria Rose Shirley Bent, wife of Isaac Bent, died Saturday ~morning | after a long iliness at her home in Ma- ple avenue, where she had resided for | - half a century.
