Shelby, April 17—A prominent farmer in town from the county yesterday stated that he had sent his check for $270 to Iowa, buying 35 red foxes which will arrive here about May 1 and be placed in dens up and down Br??? Creek for fox chases next fall. For some time lovers of chance have been importing foxes to this county and the sport is greatly enjoyed in the fall and winter months. This shipment of 35 is the largest ever received and is being paid for by people in town and country who enjoy the music of the fine blooded fox hounds owned in these parts.
These 35 foxes will be placed in five dens in seclude plases along the creek and river banks.
