One of West Franklin's amateur hunt
ers, fearing that he might be shot, pur-
chased web of sheeting and sewed it
upon his back. One day last week he took
to the bush and came upon a COW and calf
moose. The moose, not being accustomed
to seeing dry goods store in the wilder
ness, began to paw and below furiously.
The noise proved to be more than the
nerves of the hunter could stand, and he
started towards home in a hurry.
