All maintaining their same relative po sitions as when going south. , At the farm yard entrance the fqx would not go into the fox corral. It seemed to enjoy the sense of comparative freedom and wanted more. This last was at variance with the desires of the Wiley family. In the barn yard is a large con crete water troug.h The fox tried to dodge its way through the ranks of the family by walking the edge of this trough. It slipped and fell in. It proved to be an excellent swimmer and soon was at the far side, a dis tance of several feet. Here stood J. J. Wiley who hesitated somewhat in trying to capture the animal, al- tho the fox was showing every indi- cation of becoming affectionate if Mr. Wiley would only come closer to its wide opened mouth. Just as it got to the far side of the trough, H. G. Wiley reached and caught the anima! by its hind leg» and then by its neck before it could do more than give him a clean bite through the fleshy part of his left thumb. Shortly after this the fox was a- gain in its kennel and the latch on the gate made tighter ajainst further 'uch efforts on the part of the fox. Then the family responded to the call fur dinner whiih had been wait ing while the race vas being staged. I The fence along which the fox ran ‘when traveling in bbth directions is an ordinary barb spire farm fence with the usual accumulation of tum ble weeds common along fences in the fall. Undoubtedly the fox con sidered it as being the same sort as his corral and d:d not attempt to break through. If it had been given more time this might have happened.
