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.
