Il. w. Deichert, chief deputy game

lives ON the Mouse river near Antler,
N. D., and after searching rho mans
house, found a beaver skin. Shell
admitted that his dog had injured the
beaver so badly that the animal
would die any way and he shot it.
The game warden informed Shell that
that did not matter, FIR he had violat-
ed the law, and accordingly placed
Shell under 5000 bonds to appear Dec.

le beaver dams near Antler. He
admitted doing this, but said he did
so to keep his farm from being flood

being careful not to do this again,
and given his liberty. There are
perhaps fifty beavers in the neighbor-
hood of Antler, and many go out to
see the industrious animals work

are very shy. They have come down
from Canada of Ia,e years, and are
becoming more numerous in North
Dakota, under the protection Of our

at other points of the Mouse river.
Deichert arrested two trappers, Geo.

individual. Alternately correspOn-

had him captured and wounded only
to be contradicted br the morning

that Crazy Snake still roamed at

is beginning to regard the whole affair

view is somewhat strengthened by a
dispatch on Thursday last which gave

The colonel. who with his regiment
has for week been trying to round
up Crazy Snake. submitted an ulti'

failed to overawr the impiacablc foe.
But the colonel had a more terroriz
