Although muskrat are reported as being very plentiful on the Eastern Shore, one would not think so from the price local dealers are charging for them. Heretofore they have always sold for ten cents each or three for twenty-five cents, but this year they are 15 cents each straight.

The shot was fired from the weapon of an unseen gunner and It Is believed that it was accidental. The bullet entered the breast but was soon removed by Dr. R. R. Norris.
