STORY Of Onr Of Three Trophies at n
Spor,smen's Resort.

Rather striking photograph vas made
the other day in front Of Met artnoy's hotel
on the north fork Of the Flambeau RIVER in
Wisconsin II showed two handsome bucks
hanging head downward from tripods ten
feet high made Of hemlock poles. and a
black bear hanging from similar tripod.
One Of the bucks was shot by Byron f.
Neatch of Chicago, the other by William
Hunes. one Of the guides at the Met art ncy
resort, and the bear was first trapped and
then shot by Hugh Boyd, ow ner Of a saw
mill on Homestead Lake in Price county
The story Of its capture IL interesting
About the middle 81 November Mrs
Boyd was walking in the woods near the
BOYD homestead and Was frightened 10y a
bear which showed up suddenly. The
animal did not attempt to attack her, but
she was unarned and Went back home az
fast az she could Next day Boyd set his
trap some distance from the mill
He found big log and from one side Of i,
built out a line Of logs and poles forming
the other side Of "A big V. Inside the ucim
OF the lie placed deer's head and some
deer legs,
The trap, heavy spring af air. weighing
more than twenty IounCs, was buried in
the leaves midway of the opening If the
V, and il was attached TO pole, tenfee lorg
and n thick AZ a mana thigh, which forrroa
part # the built-dp line. A heavy chain
was used in attaching the trap to the pole
and the chain was also hidden under the
leaves.
The ca lculation was that the bear in
entering he for the deer head would step
on ia. trap and spring It, No espt cial care
Mas used IN hiding he trap or chain beyond
covering them thoroughly, Boyd worked
with his bare hands, being satisfied thai
the scent would not hold tor more than
day.
Visiting the rap some days later he saw
al ono" that bear had been caught I IN,
