Pranksters Sever
Radio Connections
at Numerous Houses

Not so many years g when girls
grew into long skirts instead of short
ones and nice girls thought it was po-
lite to leave a fellows last cigarette for
him, neighbor youths relieved their
downright by running tick
tacks' on the windows.
Some of them had ways of making a
tin can, a piece of rosin and a string
sound unholy. The most adventurous
thing was to run up and ring the door
bell, then hide behind the gate.
Modern youngsters scorn such child
ish play. Yet they're just as imbued
with the desire to make trouble, say
persons living on the north side of the
city. Only the youths seek more mod
ern ways of making themselves OBJ
n~oxious and creating mischief.
During the last few nights, persons
on the north side having radio receiv-
ing sets. while listening in on The Trib-
une broadcasting, K-D-Y-S, have had
all communication suddenly break off.
All the turning of adjustments and
manipulation of the set failed to bring
them back into une with the broad
casting. Investigation has shown in
each case that the wires have been cut
by wire cutters. Sometimes it is the
ground wire of the aerial. Sometimes
it is the lead wires and sometimes the
intake, while often all of them are
slashed.
North side residents have been un-
able t. discover any reason for the
attack on the sets other than mischief
seeking. The boys evidently have
knowledge of sets as they are effective
in putting them out of commission.

Lonely Trapper
Fascinates Moose

Duluth, Sept 14-The tale of a
strange friendship between a lonely
trapper and a large bull moose
through the common language of
music has been brought back from
the Stony river territory in north.
ern Minnesota by Thomas Denley.
chief forest ranger of that district.
Thirty-five miles fro mthe nearest
human habitation in the heart of the
remote Stony river district lives
Charley LAME I'm a trapper's cabiu.
Denley relates.
Besides being one of the most
successful trappers in the Minneso-
Ia wilderness, LAME has ability with
a violin bow and spends much time
in the lonely woods playing old
songs.
One of his most interested listen
ers Is large bull moose which
comes to the river near the cabin
and stands, belly deep in the water
while it lifts its heavily antlered
head towards the cabin and listens
to the violin. When the, concert is
over he turns and disappears in the
woods.
LAME has had numerous oppor-
tunities to shoot the animal but the
kindred appreciation of music has
stayed his hand.
