Hot Fox Chase
An exciting fox chase was run ten miles west of Laurel in the Soso neighborhood yesterday morning. The particular fox had made this section his headquarters for the past four years, feasting on the best of poultry, defying the packs that came from far and near to dislodge him, but when W. P. and C. D. Boler with their two and Will Parker with his one and Freeman Morgan with his six trained English and Walker dogs, Reynard had to take to the earth but was dislodged there from and after a few hours chase Mr. Fox was picked up in the open. Measured three feet from tip to tip. To show her appreciation of the capture, Mrs. S. J. Copeland prepared an elegant breakfast for the hungry men and dogs. Several more fox are known to be in this section and more races are eagerly awaited.

(Wesley Powell Boler & Charlie Duggan Boler were grandsons of Wesley Boler.  Their father was his youngest son, Andrew Jackson Boler.)
