Farmer Finds Animal Crossing Field
and First Takes IL for skunk.
ST. PAUL, Neb.. April S.-(Special.)-
Frank De Vry captured a full grown otter
on his farm three miles northeast OF st.
Paul Friday afternoon. The animal was
seen crossing a field by Mr.. De Vry while
at work and was at first mistaken for
skunk When he realized what It was he
decided to capture It alive at all hazards,
but was compelled to call his wife, hired
man and dog to his assistance before the
task was accomplished.
The animal put up a vigorous fight for
almost three hours but was finally landed
inside a barrel without being seriously
injured It was shipped at once to Cyrus
De Vry, who is head animal keeper at
Lincoln park Chicago.
The De Vry boys, who have lived along
the North Loup river all their lives, say
they have frequently seen otter tracks in
the mud but were never able to get close
to one before The otter resembles the
seal in appearance and although a water
animal and apparently clumsy, 1t is able
to get over the ground rapidly and handles
itself most effectively. The fur is soft and
valuable. Mr.. De Vry believes he has cap
tured a prize.
