Ted Shields, mining man, who
working a gravel claim two
. miles from North Columbia, had a
harrowing experience last week
while building a fence about his
property. Busy cutting a trait
through brush, he disturbed a nest!
of yellow jackets that fiercely attacked him. He rushed to the
house. doused his wounds with
baking soda and returning, decided to detour the nest. In doing so he suddenly found himself
in the midst of a red ants’ tenement. They' ran up his trouser
legs biting fiercely at every pause
in their ascent. Shields shucked
out of his clothes and ran to his
cabin and used up the rest of. the
Can of soda. He came into town
‘Saturday to replenish the soda
supply.

three fox pups that provide endless amusement for his guests.

in it. The parents now approached and displayed a peevish temper. With one. hand Pickell
