suspicious odors emanated from under
his house and he believed there might
possibly be a polecat under his domo-
cile. Bursau investigated and saw a
pair of bright eyes peering at him
from under the house. Getting long
board, Bursau drove the skunk to one
end of the house and then with a
shorter board forced the creature into
the corner. Getting some ether, he ad-
ministered the stuff, closed up the
openings under the house and in half
an hour investigated. Instead of find
ing one skunk, he actually got IS
dead skunks from under that house.
AS the hides are valuable, Bursau
made a good weeks wages and had
some sport besides. A little later he
got sixteen skunks from under gran
