Two husky boys named Nelson left
their paternal roof in Minnesota last fall
with guns, a bunch Of traps and bottle
Of strychnine to make their fortune fur
hunting in the "wills" Of North Dakota.
and in due time arrived at and spread
blankets and put out their traps about
the classic shores OF Painted Woods Lake
where they put in some months moving
and battling with the discomforts of
mid-winter camp Life. On Sunday the.
boys arrived in Washburn with their
fall run" catch which consisted Of three
coyotes, two bob cats and one coon hide.
The latter was black hybre,l coon, very
rare animal and had the boys kept it
alive as they easily could have done
would probably have netted them about;
425, but the hide can only bring them 40.
cents. The boys have concluded to lay
aside the trappers haraphinslia and 60
In for honest toll, In that the boys think
right. An elder head than theirs one
