MODERN SOUTH DAKOTA DIANA.
Miss Arntz Of Oacoma Bags Two
Wolves In One Day.

Miss Arntz Of Oacoma Bags Two
Wolves In One Day.
Aside from being a Rrst-class bust.
ness woman, Miss Elizabeth Arntz Of
Oacoma, on the Sioux reservation, has
proven herself to be a huHtress Of nc
small ability.
Miss Arntz recently bought a build
ing. and has established herself in the
mercantile life of Oacoma, and, real
izing that she would have some dull
time on her hands, she bought a Win
chester rifle for the purpose OF hunt
ing over the prairies when business
cares did not require too much OF her
time. Miss Arntz started out a few
days ago on her first hunting trip IN
pursuit of larger game than the ordf-
nary grouse and aspired to bring
home the hide Of a wolf.
With a trusty driver and team she
sailed forth on her mission to make
a new record in that section for the
woman hunter, and she made 1t before
the day was done. Before discovering
any larger game she killed a half
dozen grouse with the ease of the old,
experienced hunter.
When Miss Arntz reached the Fort
Hale bottoms she was driving along at
her leisure, when there appeared on
the scene a wolf coming from some
bushes. The wolf and the woman dis
covered each other at the same time,
and the wolf took to his heels and the
woman, jumping from the buggy, took
after him. After running a little dis
lance the wolf halted and stood his
ground against the woman Fear did
not enter the heart whatever, but.
drawing a careful head on the animal,
one shot put him out Of business in
short order.
Having killed her wolf, the blood in
her driver 70 rthe place of their hid
ton for bigger game. Stopping at a
ranch for dinner the young woman
was given the tip Of some large
wolves a short distance from the
Schook ranch. She started off with
her driver for the place o ftheir hid
ing, which was in a piece of timber
adjoining a orn field.
Taking a place Of safety. Miss
Arntz watched for a short time, and
she was rewarded by seeing a gray
wolf emerge from the timber and start
OF through the corn field. She fol-
lowed him a short distance in the
corn, and, fearing that he might get
beyond the reach Of her gun she
blazed away at him. The animal
went owe in his tracks, and the fair
huntress started after her game,
which, however, she found was not
dead, and the animal made a final
lunge at her. She nimbly jumped to
one side and r%etreating sufficiently
far she sent another shot into his
body that finished him.
Miss Arntz bore her game back to
the town in great triumph, and 1t
proved to be a. good a record for a
days hunt that any man in the town
was able to show up.
The young lady is making a success
of her business establishment, which
she runs on a strictly cashh basis, as
she says life is to short to spend in
chasing down bad accounts and losing
the greater share OF the profits.

Before Board,

The state board of charities and
corrections held a meeting in Sioux
Falls for the purpose of investigating
charges which recently were made
against Warden H. r. Parmley of the
Sioux Falls p%enitentiary, but through
the failure of those making the
charges to appear and testify no in
v~estigation could beheld. The col
lapse Of the charges is taken to mean
that Warden Parmley has been fully

vitation to Henry Peterson to appear
and offer testimony in support of his
charges. but he sent the board a letter
refusing to appear and therefore no
further action will be taken by the
board.
