V — Foxy Fox Fails To Fox Fox Hunters By CHARLES KNIGHT A wild animal chase caused ex citement in the South Gate area Tuesday night. It all started when Mrs. B. D. Marburger, of 411 South Mont j Clair, heard something knocking objects in the attic. She turned on the attic light and went up to in vestigate. As she got to the top of the attic stairs she saw a huge fox disappear into a dark corner. She called Raymond Rogers, city manager, and a student living near-by. After a thorough search in the attic and throughout the house, they spotted the, fox under the house, with only ope opening for his escape. ‘ After a 40 minute chase under the house and with the aid of flash light and a shotgun, they disposed of the 25-pound gray fox. Rogers said that the fox acted as if it might be rabid. That can not be determined since it was shot in the head, he said.
