W.M. Connell Blames Foxes for Loss of 17 Pigs and Some Chickens, Feb. 14, 1922

Foxes Catching Pigs and Chickens

Mr. W.M. Connell of Goose Creek township is looking for somebody who can catch foxes. Seventeen fine pigs of Mr. Connell’s have recently disappeared. His chickens and those of his neighbors are being caught and it is believed that foxes are doing the work. Last summer there was a mother fox and her whole family in that community. The old fox was killed and people of that section believe that her young are hiding in the Rocky River bluffs and are sallying forth now and then for food that the preachers and other human beings like to eat.
