The other, 99 are still breathing the glorious, air of life and freedom. Mr. Foster has a ranch out northwest, where geese are wont to congregate. Ife went hence a few duys ago, dug pits and hunt ed. At least 100 came to his lanch, his friends say. Some aluihted upon his hut, the more forward friends say; although this is not substantiated,. At any rate, Mr. Foster killed one of the biros.
