Cooperage Plant Addition.

Bids has been received by the Clyde Cooperage Co. for
the erection of a storage room about 55x100 feet between
the N.Y.C. and Wheeling tracks on Church street, to
occupy company ground and most of the space now used by
the stock yards, and it is expected work will be
commenced in the immmediate future. The building will be
concrete block construction similar to the Cutlery Co.
addition. It is said the stock yard will be moved to the
west part of town near the Clydesdale factory.

Contrary to expectations when prohibition went into
effect, the past year has been the best in the history
of the Cooperage Co. The demand was especially strong
for kegs and small barrels, and officials expect this
demand to keep up. The new storage house will enable the
plant to operate continuously, as there will be room for
storing about 10,000 barrels.

Sly Reynard Escaped.

About 500 persons, including several women, took part in
the fox hunt last Saturday, the chase extending over a
big circle north of Bellevue, with its western point at
Rife's corner's on North Ridge. At the latter place
about 60 sport lovers assembled to take part. Closing in
from all parts of the big circle, only one fox was seen
by the hunters, and it got away at a point on the north
where the ring was too thin, according to the
participants. It is believed the escaping fox was the
one seen by George Henry some weeks ago, and which had
been doing so much damage in the vicinity. Another
effort will be made to capture it next Saturday, if the
weather is favorable, and it is hoped a larger number
will take part, providing permission can be secured from
the State game warden. The fox hunting season closed
yesterday, but farmers are anxious to get this sheep
killing reynard and will make a special effort to do so.
