—Quite a lively little scrim-
age took place about 4 a. m.,
Monday, between John Bradley
and his little dog on one side,
and a little black and white
striped animal wearing a bushy
tail, on the other. The little an
imal had dug into Mr. Bradley's
chicken house and was having
lots of fun killing chicks.
Friend John, arrayed in his
night uniform, and armed with
bis scatter gun and reinforced
by his dog, sallied forth to do
or to die. He cautiously open-
ed the hen house door and sent
the dog in to reconnoiter. He
soon returned and repotted the
enemy too strong for him to
dislodge. The enemy in turn
became the aggres&or and bold-
ly charged the dog, driving him
from the yard and then paid
his respects to the commander
in chief of the assailing party,
and he too made a masterly re-
treat. But recalling valient
deeds of heroism performed by
some of the urchins with their
"nigger shooters," he rallied to
receive the charge of the on-
coming enemy and opened fire.
Soon he was victor, when, with
banner flapping in the breeze
he returned to his quarters,
leaving a dead skunk in the
yard.
