HUNT FOR RACCOON
FINALLY COMES END
HOOPESTON, 111., Jan. 28.—“Old
Ringtail,” a giant raccoon which has
defied hunters and dogs of Vermillion
county for six years, lias met its
Waterloo. Its hide is being tanned

hound borrowed by Deck from Carl

overtook the ’coon in a corn field and,
assisted by Deck with a club, killed
it in a desperate battle.
The ’coon is declared to be the larg

had been brought to bay numbers of
times in the last six years, but al
ways had managed to fight its way
free.
