A Loaded Farm

Por mal)}' years asandy mound on the H. A. Maize farm, just south of this city, has been known as the hiding place of the fox. This winter the animáis have been unusuaüy numeróos and created havoc in the heuneries. The losses becarne so great that the farmers held a meeting and decided to blow up the mound and rid themselves of the pests. A large qnantity of dynamite was purchased, and four large charges were put into the ground. For some reason the fuses failed to discharge the explosivo, and the stuff is now buried in the mound. The mound is one of the most productive spots on the farm, and as the farmer does not know just where the dynamite lies he is in a pickle to know what to do, as he is af raid to dig into the mound for fear he may strike the stuff and send himself to kingdom come. The owner of the farm insists that the dynamite must be found, as he realizes that the fact of it being buried on the farm is going to hurt the sale of the farm or forever rentier several acres of his best land
