Show Fecallar 31 ask Rate. Dr. Carrington was engaged in trapping musk rats Jast week. He killed four on his place three miles north-weBt of town. It seems the Doctor's farm is midway between the Big Slough and Bear River; several miles from either. On the premises is a well, which is over 100 feet deep, but the water in it now almost reaches the top. Well, in this well has lately been found four of these rats. Where they came from and what brought them there is a mystery, as it does not seem at all probable these rather slow-moving animals would travel over sagebrush and stubbles for several miles to drop down into a well to die. |
