On January 2, 1922, some 40 to 50 men showed up to wander about the countryside with their guns and their dogs.

Hobart Gazette 6 Jan. 1922.
A separate hunt took place in Porter County the same day, with the same result — only one fox killed.
I believe that the "Dick Hoffman of Deepriver" who shot the fox was 14-year-old Richard Huffman. His parents, Randall and Nellie, owned a 40-acre farm on the east side of County Line Road just south of the Grand Trunk Railroad, in Union Township.
As for Charley Pierson, I leave it to anyone who cares to figure out who he was.
(Walter Miller, who wrote the "School Notes" in the Jan. 6 Gazette, was Ruth Miller Powell's brother.)

Well even today which I found really strange, last summer I spotted a fox trying to go after to attack my cat here in Hobart.
