Fox Killed by a Rooster. When once an animals temper has become thoroughly aroused, It Is strange how utterly regardless it becomes of the strength and ability of the object of its anger. At Compton Pauncefote, in Somersetshire, England, a fox was killed in a poultry yard by an infuriated cock. It appears that the fox made a raid on the young chicks, and after killing several belonging to certain hens, turned its attention to the brood of another. This conducL however, the plucky cock would not permit without a struggle, and, rushing at the fox, it was fortunate enough to pierce it In the eya with Us spur with such force that the spur penetrated right into the foxs brain, becoming so securely fixed that the victor could not remove it without the assistance of a farm laborer, who had been an. interested spectator of the contest between the pair. ,C Gave Away Property Too Soon.
