RAYMOND.-Coun Game Warden
Mossman recently came across evil
dence on a steep hillside on the head
waters of the Palyx River OF an at
tempted battle to the death Of two
bull elk. For half mile away he
was attracted to the spot which was
almost 800 feet long and go feet wide
The elk apparently fought for many
hours with their big antlers inter
locked, and as they backed each
other against the smaller trees and
underbrush they left visible evidence
OF their duel by devastating the vege
tation. Large pieces OF their fur had
been torn from their bodies as they
rolled over logs. Evidently they be-
came separated before either got the
count, for their bodies were not at the
foot of the hill II is usually the fate
OF both combatants to perish when
the struggle results in interlocked
horns.
