at his home the other morning. He

hawk after the fish had beaten the
bird in fight.
Driving along the side Of the lower
bay on South Side boulevard. Whit
lock, Moore and his Chauffeur, Walter
Pickney, saw the fish hawk and blue
fish fighting In the air. They declare
the fish was hitting savagely at the
hawk in efforts to free itself from the
birds talons, and they watched the
strange battle.
At last the bluefish hit the hawk
over the head with its tail so hard a
blow that the hawk was stunned and
both the bird and fish fell to the
gorund
Moore and Pickney ran up and
found the bird had broken It's right
wing in its fall and was still uncon-
scious. Pickney got rope from the
car and tied its legs before II came
to and wrapped II in a sack. The
bird weighed fifty pounds and the FISH
four pounds, The fish was still alive.
Whe che hawk recovered 1t made a
tremendous fuss, but Mr. Moore fast

three months shooting big game Mr..

to be a record.
On September IL, at Cassia. near

five grizzly bears In two minutes. ir-

Burnham had close call for his life.
He suddenly uncovered the group OF

He killed her with the first shot and
was about to shoot another one com

Eskimo guide gave the alarm Of an
other bear charging from his left rear.
Mr.. Burnham turned just In time to
fire two shots into the thanking bear,
when only yard away. He rhot
three more that charged him from the
right
The record is still more noteworthy
by considering the fact that Mr. Burn

TRAPPER MUST BE SKILLED
Farmer Boy. to Be Successful, Must
Acquire knowledge Of Habits
of Different Animals.

Wild animals depend largely on
their scent to escape pitfalls and
traps Consequently. any effort in
trapping must first of all eliminate
odors. Therefore, to be most sue
cessful in capturing fur animals 70
quires knowledge of the habits OF
each. The setting of traps requires
skill. not only in placing them in the
right spot. but In covering up odors
and the evidence of the presence Of
human beings. The time of the year
and the character of the weather have
much to do In finding prizes on max
ing the rounds In the morning. AMI
mails are governed largely by weather
conditions and when q severe snow
storm or cold snap approaches. re-
main close In their dens or holes. At
such times the trapper will not have
much luck. Dry. cold, frosty nights
In winter are also not fruitful of
good results. But when the nights
are dark. rainy and cloudy the
chances for good catches are very
favorable
Most game is usually found in.
wild. rough. hilly or swampy coun-
tries. Foxes and wolves are some
times seen on the open prairie. In
looking for signs of game observe
carefully the rocks and brush along
creeks. ponds and lakes. The paths
of beaver. muskrat, coon and mink
are evidences that fur-bearing game
travels in that vicinity. These are
sure signs and are splendid places to
trap. For mink, which is one OF the
most valuable fur animals. the trap
should be set near the den. Trap
ping for mink may begin in Novem-
Der and continue until April. between
which dates the fur is prime
If plain trail leads into and along
the edge of the water, the trap may
be set in the water at the extreme
edge, so that it will not be conspicu-
GUS. The chain should be fastened
with a stake deep under the water.

JOHN SINGLETON MosBY REPORTED ILL


News from Washington of the Sc
rious illness of Col John s. Mosby
brings into prominence again one Of
the few remaining prominent officers
Of the army of the Confederacy.
Colonel Mosby stood In the front
rank of Confederate raiders in the
Civil War, being particularly haras-
sing In the 1864 campaign of General
Sheridan In the Shenandoah valley
which ended with his brilliant vic
tory at Cedar Creek. There was a
long line Of communication TO be
guarded from Baltimore to Harper's
Ferry and then down the valley. and
from Washington by way of Manas-
sas and Front Royal. Colonel Mosby
devoted himself to breaking these
lines and raiding his enemy's forces
wherever possible. No one else in
the army was so mathematical as
was he. That such a rebel against
the government could not only have
escaped with his life after the sur
render, but should actually later have
