The story of Roger Courteville, Bra
lillian engineer, reported in Lima,
Peru, dispatches to have said he found
Col. p. II. Fawcett and his exploring
pacty. which has been missing in the
jungles of Brazil for two years, was
questioned here today by Mrs. Elsie
Rimell, mother of Raleigh Rimell,
youthful member of Fawcett's party.
II do not like the differences in
Courteville's story and resent them,"
Mrs. Rimell said. 81 am certain Mrs.
FaWcett will resent them, too. I
doubt very much whether Courteville
found the party, and if he did he has
placed a very wrong construction on
what the party is doing.

CORRECT METHOD0F
TRAPPING IS GIVEN
BY R. K. STEWART
SECRET SAID TO BE IN EXCITING
ANIMALS CURIOSITY; CARE
PLACING TRAPS

In the center of an interested au.
dience made up mostly of a number
of Fairbanks hunters, r. K. Stewart
chief predatory animal hunter for the
Territory, gave an illustrated lecture
on the most successful methods OF
trapping coyote and other predatory
animals, reports the Fairbanks News
Miner. The most suitable location
for a coyote trap, pointed out Mr..
Stewart, is near the confluence of two
streams or near the top of a hill or
pass through which the animals are
likely to go. The work of setting the
trap should be done on a piece of can
vas and gloves should be utilized
which are used for no other purpose.
When the location of the set has
been determined upon, small stick
or piece Of bark should be placed near
where the trap is to be set. Four or
five inches to one side of this hole,
the shape of trap should be dug.
ALI superfluous dirt should be removed
from around the trap and carried away
from the set. When the trap, already
set, is placed in the hole, it should be
covered with fine dirt containing as
much sediment as possible. BY so
doing, the scent of the trap is con-
cealed under the ground. The trap
should be fastened by means of drag
hook or long wooden peg into the
ground After being covered with
fine dirt, the set should be made to
look as nearly as possible the same
as before the hole was dug, by sprink-
ling a little coarse dirt and a few
twigs or leaves on top of the fine dirt.
In order to eliminate the steel smell
of the trap, the new traps should be
with papers or cloths which have been
soaked in a tea made from the tips
Of aspirin or birch trees. To one side
Of the planted trap, beside the stick or
piece of bark previously arranged, the
scent should be placed. There are
several kinds Of scents obtainable, any
one of which may be purchased from
a drug store.
The great secret in trapping coyote
or wolf, said Mr. Stewart, is to arouse
their curiosity. If the trap is hidden
under bushes or other places where
the animal can see that a noticeable
has been made at conceal
ment, the animal will lose no time in
making himself particularly scarce in
that vicinity The finished set should
be made to resemble exactly, If posi-
BILE, the ground before hte planting OF
the trap.
Several different kinds of sets were
described When there are two traps
used, the scent should be placed be-
tween them and when triangle OF
three traps is formed, the scent goes
in the center.
The perfect set, as described by Mr..
consists of one or two traps
planted as herein noted and covered
with from two inches to a foot Of
snow:
