Hard went hunting near Park Rapids
and killed a deer These men are
such unselfish and congenial hunters
that when one kills deer, he divides
both the meat and the honor equally
with the others. Not one of these
three men will take the credit for the
killing of the deer. Perhaps, if there
was any way of getting at the truth
of hunting story, it would be found
that all three had a shot at the same
deer.
