Former Assessor John Ingles sold a remarkable lamb to J. D. Evans after it began chasing foxes and avoiding home. The lamb, raised by a dog with a litter of pups, grew into a fleet and playful roamner. It suckled from the dog, chased rabbits, and tried to bark at treed coons before finally taking to fox chasing long enough to prompt sale.
