CAPTURE OF NATIVE ELK.
Pocatello Tribune.


Another two carloads of wild elk
from the Jackson Hole country in
western Wyoming passed thru Poca-
tello last night in charge of game
warden from Wyoming, consigned to
Cheyenne, where they will be turned
loose in public and private game pre-
serves. Part of the herd will be used
to stock the big ranch of Governor
Carey.
The government has been feeding
the elk and antelope this winter, in
stead of their being left to live on
clear, cold atmosphere and snow. But
the winter has been comparatively
mild so the animals are in good
shape.
The elk came down off the high
lands every evening to be fed with
hay, and advantage of this is taken
to ure a number of them into spe-
cially built corral where there Is an
abundance of provender. The men
on watch are hidden from sight, and
by means of string connected with
a spring on the corral gate, the latter
is swung shut when the desired num-
Der of specimens are inside Then
there is a frantic tearing around of
the imprisoned animals, as they see
their captors and try to escape. One
animal recently jumped clear over
the eight-foot fence, while another
caught on the top and fell over on
the outside; on one occasion two
broke their necks in trying to get out
The neck of elk is easily broken,
because it is curved somewhat after
the manner of camel, and for that
reason it is risky to rope them.
The end Of the corral opens into a
sort of chute leading into a cage set
on a sleigh. When in this chute be-
ing forced into the slelgn cage, the
horns are sawn off the bull elk, and
the sleigh is hauled to the nearest
railroad station where the captives
are run into stock cars from the
cages. After being in captivity for
"a hours, they become very tame
and will eat out of mans hand
They are shipped the same as Other
cattle to their destination.
A consignment of rs head due to
pass through here today will be sem
to Mt. Nebo reservation and will
make IS of the animals within thu
limits of Utah. This number Is al

Point here today, to o. The high wind
made goal shooting difficult, but the
visitors easily outclassed the home team
both in defense and attack, and the VIC
tory was well deserved.
Washington worked twenty mintes be-
fore scoring the first goal, which was
made when one of the Thistles, when
trying to head a ball away from his
own goal posts, missed the sphere, and 1t
sailed under the uprights. #.
This point was quickly followed by an
other, a fine combination play ended in
a quick pass. Briggs to Brown to
Flukes. and the last named negotiated
the goal.
In the second half Washington played
against the wind, but the teamwork
was so well executed that two more
goals were registered. Clever passing,
Foster to Flukes to Briggs, and a sensa-
tional shot by Briggs, turned the trick
Washngton's defense throughout the
game was the best seen here this sea-
son. For the home team. Gebhart and
TUFTS were the stars. Charles Leckery

For the first time since Dartmouth
has entered a track team to compete
for the intercollegiate championship. the
Hanover institution is conceded q chance
to carry of first honors. Coach Harry
Hillman has the best squad i'm the his
tory of the school, and to say that he
is optimistic over the teams chances
would be putting 1t mildly. There is a
general feeling amdpg the students that
Dartmouth will be the 1918 champions.
In the interclass meets, held in the
spacious gymnasium each Saturday aft
ernoon, a Dartmouth record has been
smashed in almost every meet. The team
will receive it's first real test in the
dual meet with Pennsylvania, at Han

but. judging from the excellent work of
Harmon. Marceau. Granger, Ball, Rose,
Saltmarsh. wilkins. and Llewellyn, the
Quakers will have to bring an excep-
tionaliy strong team il they win the sup.
The Hanoverions' main strength lies In
the field events. Capt. Marc Wright.
Olympic star, who holds the worlds pole
vault record, with jump of Is feet
inches. is in even better form than at
this time last year. In recent indoor
meet he raised his indoor record to IL

more than ordinary ability are Buck and

1.-THE All-American football player. is set
ting new records in every meet in the
hammer throw.
Granger, a member Of the champion
two-mile relay team, has set college
record in the 1.QO0-yard run OF 2:2l. Oh
son, a veteran, clipped 2-5 seconds from
yard dash in 0:33 3-5. Another gym rec
ord was smashed by Saltmarsh, who beat
the former record in the two-mile run by
Il seconds, in the time of 1901 3-5.
To show the class of Hillman's GUAR
ter milers. on one day the college quar-
ter mark was lowered twice. O'Connor
ran 40 yards in 0:52 2-5, a new Dart
mouth record, and few seconds later
Rose lowered this to 0:52.
In the Penn relay carnival the two
mile team is counted upon as sure
winner. The quartet has already proven
it's ability by leaving Harvard, Prince
ton, Cornell, an Boston Tech many
yards behind in the Boston A. A. meet,
clipping almost two minutes from the
worlds record.

10 to 10.

Baltimore, Nd, April 6-The New York
Giants trimmed the Baltimore Orioles by
the score of 10 to 10 in a game played
at Back River The weather was cold
and raw. and it was necessary for the
teams to journey to this -of-the-way
place, owing to the law prohibiting Sum
day baseball within the city limits of
Baltimore.
The game was featureless, and the
coaching Of Jack Dunn. the Oriole mana
ger was the only thing that enlivened
the half-frozen spectators. McGraw
started Ames against the Orioles, and
he was relieved by Goulait, neither of
them having any trouble in holding down
the Baltimore hitters when they con-
sidered 1t necessary. Smith and Eckert
pitched for the Orioles and were hit at
will by the GianfS Scora.
