Trapper Gets Many Trophies in
Yard Where Hogs Had Been
Feeding on CLAIMS.

Yankton, S. D.. Dec. s.--Fhe prosy
old Jim" river. which the records hold
should be called the Dakota river. is
coming into the limelight for valuable
pearl deposits. Fred Huber was In
town yesterday exhibiting a number Of
specimens which he found. and which
it Is claimed are worth at least $500.
He said he would o sell ut that
figure. e
Huber's collection is the best seen
here since the display shown around
town by William H. Behrens. of Violin.
an eccentric trapper. Behrens GER
tainly had the pearls and sold most Of
them at fair prices. although he claims
that the dealers made most of the
profit even at that.
One magnificent pearl. which Beh-
rens knew to be of exceptional value.
was sold by him for $50. 1t changed
hands several times and finally reached
Queen Olga. OF Greece. at u price that
makes Behrens sick every time he
thinks of a pearl.
Behrens got his pearls by picking
them up in a Mennonite colony hog
yard. The Mennonites, during the
summer. scooped up a large quantity
of claims M fed them to their hogs.
In his patient search Of the hog yard,
Behrens got more pearls In a few
hours than he could have secured In
many weeks Of catching and opening
clam shells.
