Modern Dan BOOnes
Lead Deer To Death

A fantastic story of how two
hunters captured 200-pound deer
and literally led him to slaughter
on the opening day Of the sea-
son was told at International Falls
recently. Bill Harris and Ed Schil-
Ter, both of Rainier, had hunted
all Saturday morning without get
ting a shot, even though they
changed locations several times.
In desperation, they drove out the
Black Bay road and stopped mid
way, between Rainier and Island
View.
Tramping YEARLY through the
bush, they suddenly espied two
bucks, their horns locked in NOR
tai combat. Both hunters fired
and the larger of the creatures
fell dead, two bullets in his shoul-
der. The two hunters recalled
that they were several miles from
their car and two deer carcasses
would be lot to drag. They then
decided to make the remaining
animal walk himself to death and
save themselves some trouble.
Being unable to disentangle the
living from the dead deer, they
cut off the latter's horns, leav-
ing them dangling on the others
head. They had no rope, therefore
led the animal by the horns. It
was a difficult task, they said, be-
cause the buck, though tired from
fighting, was far from dead. Sew
eral times he shook Schiller and
Harris into the bushes but each
time they regained hold on the
animal. After a two-hour strug-
gle and at point within 100 yards
of their car, the hunters were COM
PEELED to shoot their quarry. THAT
animal sure was tough" Harris
said later. 81 could hardly push
fork into his gravy"

will not be one until later

the usual order of things there is

here in Pine county except that the
wife is now contented at Barnum
after three years of residence there.
They send greetings to friends made
during many years residence in Pine

International
News Review
BY GEORG sTRANDvOLD

A little incident took place in Ber-
lin a few days ago-an incident in
itself insignificant and yet of more
than passing interest: WON Delbos,
foreign minister of the French re-
public, was on his way to Warsaw
and other central European capitals,
and his train made a half-hour rou-
tine stop in Berlin. Ordinarily, as
a matter of international courtesy,
there would have been on hand a
minor official of the German foreign
department in the capacity of greeter
in behalf of the country through
which the train was passing, but in
this case no less parsonage than
COnstantin Won Neurath, German
foreign minister, was on hand, and
he spent the entire half hour with
his French colleague whom he, by
the way, met for the first time. The
impromptu and cordial nature of this
meeting was considered very good
omen for the future of European in
ternational relations, for Germany
very evidently went out of her way
to show more than mere politeness
to France.
The DelbOs Trip.
This was in keeping with the at
mosphere surrounding the trip OF
Monsieur Delbos to Poland, Rou-
mania, Jugoslavia and Czecho-Slo-
vakia; that journey had been planned
quite some time back, and it increased
in Importance after the London con-
versations between British and French
prime ministers and foreign min
listers. All information from the
countries most directly interested ap-
pears to indicate that the European
tension has lessened as a result of
the recent conversations between
Adolf Hitler and Lord Halifax and
the subsequent meeting of British
and French statesmen in London.
Delbos has been instructed by his
governmental one may surmise
by the other participants in the Lon
don meeting-to assure the central
European nations of continued French
friendship; he also was given speci-
fic advice to the effect that the
Czecho-Slovakian government be
asked to modify it's policy toward the
German minority population within
the domains of Prague.
A part of the background of the
Delbos journey is the fact that Ger
many has made cautious demand
for the return of her war-lost colo
MES, and that Great Britain and
France will be willing to at least
consider this problem on condition
that the German government declare
its willingness to cooperate with 9TH
er powers in their effort to main
tain peace in Europe. Events are
on the march"-but not much can be
said about them at the present time
because all official statements con-
corning behind-the-stage negotiations
are very guarded.

TB On Increase;

Records show that the death
rate from tuberculosis has been
on the increase in Minnesota dur

This little Seal can be purchased

Minister Accepts
A New Location
Rev. John A. Hughes and
Wife Will Leave Sand
stone Charge.

After nearly a decade of serving
the Congregational church in Sand
stone as its pastor, Rev. John A.
Hughes will take up new duties in
the same capacity at Mahnomen
about January l. Rev. and Mrs.
Hughes came to Sandstone in Deem
Der, 1923, from Sibley, Iowa, and
the former has established himself
in the hearts of many as sincere
and able minister of the gospel.
Rev. and Mrs. Hughes, both in
their various activities in the COM
munity, could always be counted
on to do their utmost to bring sue
cess to any undertaking and that
activity will be sorely missed when
they leave. Both were ardent bas-
ketball fans and followed the high
school team throughout its annual
schedule, and both were active in
Eastern Star lodge work, Rev. Hughes
being also a Mason.
While one is sad to think of Rev.
and Mrs. Hughes going from the
community, there is an accepted rea-
son to make that thought also a
happy one and that is its consistency
with the gospel work of that admir-
able couple. There is work to be
done where they are going and they
are equal to the task.
Trained in England.
Rev. Hughes received his theolog-
ical training in England, his native
land, and came to the United States
in 1910. Since that time he has
served pastorates in Sibley, Iowa;
Sleepy Eye, Mimi, and Grand
Meadow, Mimi, before he came to
Sandstone. The congregation which
Rev. Hughes will serve at Mahnomen
has not had minister since 1880,
but the preliminary enthusiasm shown
bids well for good field.
Rev. and Mrs. Hughes have son
and daughter. The sons name is
j. Arthur Hughes and he is superin-
tendent of schools at Red Lake Falls.
The daughter, Mrs. John E. Mold, re-
sides at Marshalltown, Iowa.
Friends over wide territory will
wish the esteemable couple well in
their new endeavor and at the same
time wish the Sandstone congregation
worthy successor to Rev. Hughes.
