CARIBOU BUCKS CAPTURE REINDEER HAREMs IN THE
 BROAD PASS REGION

A case of cattle rustling that of fers a poser for law-enforeement or ganization and puts into shade the prohibition game of "hi-spy' pre- sents itself in Broad Pass, says the Seward Gateway.
 Practically an entire herd of sev- eral hundred reindeer has melted away.
 Jonathan Wagner of the Bureau of Education, who passed through Seward yesterday reported that for sometime it had been known that reindeer have been disappearing from Broad Pass herds. On one oeca- sion a herd of a hundred odd ami mals were recovered after being A. W. o. L. for a season. A band of caribou had lured them to a secluded spot and fought off the reindeer bucks, annexing the feminine mem bers of the herd as spells of war.
 MT. Wagner said yesterday he was not decided as to what to do, but hinted that reprisals would be taken against the caribou rustlers by cap turing an equal number of their ha- rems.
 As far as reindeer are concern ed," said MT Wagner, they are just 5o,, o.+;ooFod ooriJ,an opd bordc m q v be built up from the wild animals All the fiction about reindeer being unable to exist without moss has been exploded" Pointing to "Reiny, ' Stewards official town pet, MT. Wag- her indicated the animal as the an- swer to the question of feeding "Reiny" is as fat as a squab and runs a burro a tight race an variety of palatable tit-bits, from bright red tomato can wrappers to the candy the kids feed him. In fact about the only gatronomic vice he does not possess is drinking white mule.
 ."There is a great future in live reindeer" continued MT Wagner. Soon they will be shipped to the States to be used to stock public and private game preserves. Animals of the deer family are becoming scarce in the States, and sportsmen will eventually be calling for caribou to shoot"
