D.. L. Friend, of NIartinsburg, Mo-,
who has gained considerable notoriety
on account of his elk park which is 10
miles northeast of Bethany, passed
through this city Monday on his way to
Deer Park Nd, where he goes on bust
ness connected with the selling of his
herd. He commenced raising elk eight
years ago when he brought fourteen
head of young elk which he had captur-
ed in Jackson's Hole country, to his
farm near Martinsburg, and enclosed
81 acres in high and tight wire fence,
into which he turned the elk. The park
was heavily timbered and they have
multiplied rapidly. At the present
time he has about 80 head in the park,
six of them being young ones, and each
