Several of the visiting party went down
with Mrs. Gust Schumacher to the
frozen pond where they walked about un-
til Mrs. Wagon suddenly slipped and fell
backward, striking her head a severe
blow on the ice and inhicting bad scalp
wound. Mrs. Wagon was not able to rise
by herself but was assisted into the
house where her wound was cared for.

Frank Wild, the North Bankato black

nose. A bad scar may be left after the
wound is healed.

for the occasion.
Ben Tidland while out at Hebron yes
terday to bring in load of wood for his
father, w. H. Tidland discovered hole
freshly dug in the ground by what he
supposed at the time was large fox.
The animal was evidently digging to get
a rabbit out of his hole. Ben took his
shotgun and crept slyly up to the sup
posed fox and shot the creature in the
neck just as the latter was coming out
and puzzled all his friends over the
question whether it was fox or young
wolf The body has coat of very dark
red, the feet were black and the tail
was gray. The state offers a bounty of
$3.50 each for full grown wolves and 81
each for cubs. 1t is possible that Nicol-
let county has bounty to offer in addi-
ton to this. Ben or his father will go
or write to St. Peter to look the ques-
ton up.
