Nome Natives Find New
 Way to Trap White Fox
(NOme Nugget)

Frank Dufresne reports that the natives in the vicinity of White Mountain have found new way to fox" a fox.
 The hunter instead of using the slow method of setting trap and waiting for the sly animal to step into it, now steps out and chases the beast and gets better results.
 The new method requires the hunt CT to be good on skis and once this is accomplished he can start out any time. The man with this pair of ''greased lightning" on his feet sights fox and the little quarry takes for the nearest hilltop at once, keeping a half-mile or so ahead of the pursuer, who takes it easy on the climb. Once the hunter gets to the top of the hill it is no trick at all to coast down the slope after his game and overtake the astonished animal as if on the wings of the wind.
 One thing that makes this manner of hunting fox easy, according to MT. Dufresne, is the fact that the fox is scared at seeing man travel at such a rate of speed and he sometimes covers and stops in his traps.
 One White Mountain native by the name of Reuben took 63 foxes in this way during the past season.

refused he had done only what
every other red-blooded man in

circumstances.
Gordon, who lies paralyzed at =
