    A fox came to William O. Gorman's house in Donogan by night and killed all his hens except three. When his daughter went out in the morning to let out the hens she only found three alive. She looked around the cabin and saw a fox lying near the was and he dead as she thought. She ran in home to tell her father about the fox being dead. When her father and she came out again the fox was gone.
