Case From Wyoming Which

of White House Naturalist.
Especial to The Herald1

Meeteetse, Wyo.. Aug. S1-The nature
takers who have been set upon by Presi-
dent Roosevelt will be able to take an
other fling at Teddy when they learn of
the queer antics of a badger in this vi
cinity. A few days ago Miss Dorothy
Bauman and Miss Martha Kadow, Chi
cago young women who are spending the
summer pit the Osborne ranch on the
Greybul1 river, espied a queer looking
animal in the hills. The Windy City
girls gave chase and the animal darted
into hole I'm the ground. Mr.. Osborne
gave it as his opinion that the animal
was a badger. and desiring to save the
skin Osborne set to work to rope and
drag the badger from the hole. The ami
NAL resisted his efforts. Osborne being
called to look after some horses left the
badger to the care of the girls. The lat
ter seated themselves on a log and were
discussing the best methods to employ in
catching the badger when they were
startled by scratching noise, and. turn
ing they saw the badger crawling from
the hole, evidently being attracted by
their voices.

Played With the Girls.

Moving slowly, and moving his head
from side to side. the badger finally
reached the outside Of the hole. and. sit
ting on his launches, eyed the Chicago
girls curiously. Being interested to know
what the wild animal would do the girls
coaxed and coaxed and finally the badger
came up to them and accepted their ca
resses and mOrsels of food they found in
their haversac ks. While thus engaged
the party heard the sound of OsbOrnes
voice as he was returning. The badger
also heard Osborne and Immediately be-
came uneasy. and finally broke away
from the girls and darted back into the
hole just as Osborne staIked up. He was
informed of the actions Of the badger and
was greatly surprised Before leaving
the vicinity Osborne made several inef-
fectual efforts to drag the badger from
the hole The Chicago young ladies. Os-
borne and others who have heard of the
affair are unit in the opinion that the
badger knew he had nothing to fear from
the women, and that Osborne was an en-
envy And the nature faker viii be asked
TO explain how the badger knew the girls
were unable to harm him and that Os-
borne was TO be feared
