A Letter From An Old Timer.
Moravia. Idaho, Jan. /, 1910.
To the Readers of The Washburn
Leader:
In behalf of T. j. Haugeberg
I will write a few lines to kind of
straighten out that deer hunt and
wild cat fight which happened
some twenty years ago to Hauge-
berg and Peterson the farmer. It
is true that the wild cats gave us a
run for our money but I can as
sure the readers that we were a
long way from being torn into
shoe strings as both of us had
plenty Of lead and powder and
were to use it to q good advantage.
I wish that Haugeberg could be
out west here to take in a bear
hunt which would be more inter.
esting than the wild cats in N. D.
With best regards t. al old timers.
Yours Truly,
B. Nals Peterson.
