This information comes from Mr. Ray Pedrar, 4th Line, Osprey. Monday afternoon, about 1.30, Mrs. Pedlar heard scuffling on the porch at the side of the house and upon opening the kitchen door saw a fox having a tussle with their dog "Pete." She quickly shut the outside door with a broom and Mr. Fox was imprisoned with the dog. When Ray arrived he dispatched the visitor with a well- aimed shot from a .22 rifle.

Wild West Show A salesman of Flesherton gave ;< demonstration of dehorning a cow on Wednesday afternoon of last week that is very seldom seen in Canada and only on rare occasions in Mexico (in the bull ring). Starting at the barber shop with a meagre five or six spectators he went forth with his 200 pounds of brawn and a long length of rope to a local cattle buyer's barn. He tied the rope to one of the cattle beast's hind legs and led the animal out to the yard, and then the fun commenced Buying Mrs. W. Armstrone. Mr?. W. Moore. Salvage Bob Phillips. K. Goheen. K.

Then with his foot against the cow's hip he pulled and puffed with might and main, but she refused to fall. At last he gave a desperate shove! He slipped! The cow staggered! Had it not been for the quick action of the spectators the story might have had a more bitter ending. By this time both man and animal were of National Selective Service will be Selective Service Meeting Friday A public meeting in the interests The cover of the Canadian School Journal for November carries a good picture of a seat of learning in the township of Osprey, which has a story in connection with its name, College. With it is a recital of the alleged facts surrounding the naming of the school. This, however, does not jibe in every detail with that frequently toldj if not under- stood. For the name "Tryon," rightly or wrongly, the credit has, many times, been placed with a Col- lingwood ri-sideat, one Tr y on Baker, once a photographer, with a turn to painting, who was said to be paint- ing at the school at the time of its erection when waggishly some one suggested an adoption of his first name. In any case the school has, since its erection, been known as at present and needless to add, many times has it bee n asked why? Here is the Journal's story: "All boys and girls who nave completed Grade VIII in the public school in S.S. No. 14 Osprey, Township, can have the distinction of having gone tnrougu college. In 190(5, S.S. No. 14 Osprey, was formed from the parts of three Sections, numbers 3, > a;:U >j. One acre for school grounds A--.I.- purchased for $100.

The spectators were moved to great spasms of mirth at the dis- comfiture of the human element in the fight, but the torreador enjoyed the joke on himself as much as those watching. Several points have come to light since the dehorning incident. First, the dehorner claims that he was shoving on the wrong leg:; second, he hadn't reviewed his Wild West stories lately a nd had forgotten what the pictures looked like. He says, however, that he now sees his mistake in last week's episode and is willing to prove his theory if an v - person has any more cows to dehorn.
