silver foxes has caused a rush of fox
hunters to the northern wilds where
these creatures live. To capture them
alive is a task that tries the skill of

only are they extremely scarce but very
timid and cunning. While many men
have spent days and weeks in the chase
of these animals, but few return with
the sought-for prize.
Mr. Monroe made his capture through
means of a clever piece of strategy.
For days and weeks he stalked the
mother fox, hoping to track her to her
den. His chase ended every night
where it began, with the mother fox
still master of the situation. One
day, however, be managed to get neal
enough for a shot, and being an ex-

only a slight wound. By the trail of
blood he tracked the fox to her den,
and there found the FIVE puppies.

MADISON IS DRY
So Rules Judge Jones In Con
tested Election Case

Sioux Falls, July 2.-In accordance
with a decision handed down by Judge
J. W. Jones in the circuit court in the
Madison liquor license case Madison
will remain dry for the ensuing year.
At the recent election On the liquor
question at Madison there were S26
votes cast. "For license received
400 votes. ''against license received
400 votes, and seventeen votes were
rejected az defective or improperly
marked.
Those in favor of saloons set up
the claim that under the law passed
by the last legislature that all that
vas necessary to carry the proposition
was TO have more votes for than
against the proposition.
Some time ago the ballots were re-
counted and the above figures found to
represent the true situation, and argu
ments on the claim of the "wets'
that the proposition had carried were
made before Judge Jones in this city.
Prior to the law passed by the last
Legislature the courts had held that
il was necessary for the "wets t.
receive a majority of the votes cast
at the election regardless of whether
on the license question OF for a csndi-
date. Joe Kirby as attorney for the
vets" contended that this law made
it simply necessary to get more votes
for than against to carry license.
Judge Jones holds that the law
passed last winter simply wiped out
that part of the cid law which required
that a majority of all votes cast must
be secured and that under the new law
the vets to secur license must show q
clean majority of all votes cast On the
license question, including those thrown
out as illegal.
