Mrs. H. C. Matteson and
son, Paul, of Westway, went
forth to war one night last
week when they were
awakened by a skunk among
the chickens. Hut the skunk
adopted Nazi Blitzkrieg tact-
ics and chased Mrs. Mat-
teson and Paul bapk into
the house.
“I was afraid I wasn’t go-
ing to beat mother to the
house," Paul reported. It was
hard to tell which went
the faster.
It all started when Mrs.
Matteson heard the skunk
outside her window. She and
Paul went out. Mr. Skunk
let go the chicken he had,
chased the dog away, then
started for Paul and his
mother.
Yes, Paul regained his
courage and went out and
killed him. The Score:
Mr. Skunk—15 dead fryers.
Paul Matteson—one dead
