or 3THE RIGHT STUFF.

III
Tt has been stated that the
result of the, suits brought by
Henry Buenther, the taxlderm-
ist, against the state game ana
fish commission and Samuel
Fullerton, it's executive agent,
would be of interest not only
sportsman in Bemidji, but all
other citizens as we'll, for it Mr..
sBuenther wins he will continue
business at the old stand, but if
he loses, he says he will leave
Bemidii and start afresh else
where, knowing that a deFea.
will practically ruin his business
as taxidermist, whi3h has al
ready been greatly damaged by
the actions of Mr.. Fullerton and
his deputies.
Bemidj il can i'll afford to lose
Mr.. Buenther. He is of the stuff
from which good citizens are
made. Fighting and staying
d ualities such as are possessed
by the taxidermist are what go
to build up a business or a city.
About two years ago Mr..
Buenther was working as a tax
iderlnist out in Mandan. He
could do better work than his
employer, yet his wages we're
unsatisfactory Besides, he
loved independence. He decided
to seek a new location and make
a start for himself. Forty Dol
lars was the extent Of the
Germans worldly wealth, and
from the beginning the fight Was
a hard one. He came to Bemidj i
and rented a small shack neal
the M. & I. depot, where he kept
bachelor S quarters. His family
had been left behind and $40
wouldn't keep him long alta hotel
and at the same time set. him up
in business.
Cards were printed, little ad-
yertisements inserted IN the
local. papers and Mr.. Buenther
set energetically to work. Specl-
mems for mou nting were slow be-
ginning to come in. The tax
idermist was unknown, and
people feared to trust their work
to him. He sold a few Indian
goods and this fact alone carried
him through. Often he was
down to his last quarter, when a
lucky sale Of birch bark novelty
or Indian trinket would 1place
him on CLASSY stree" again. But
he won out. His work was OF
high grade, and when the tide
was fairly turned in his favor it
came on with a rush. HiSIpres.
ent handsome quarters onSeconc
street. with their great variety
Of beautiful furs and mounted
specimens, are the result. I(

to be sensible one. A mounted
specimen is no more game sthal

preston, or wild fowl feathers il

looks as though the attempt t
