they are highly illuminating as a

MAIN STREETS
LATEST HOAX
No Tracks, No Tex, Say Hunters
Tricks win Out-So This
II It

Hang up "them foulin' pieces"
boys, the fox feud's over. 41N
Here's the tale Of one Of Main
Streets fastest hoaxes, that nearly
boomeranged into the laps OF the
perpetrators-or the story of the
fox that nearly bit back.
A couple Of Sundays back, with
the fox hunting craze hitting the
boys fairly, two parties were out in
the prairie searching out the willy
little predator. One party, led by
Gus Otto, had hounds; another
with Verne Soltau had none. OF a
sudden the latter party arrived in
town with a fox draped over the
hood Of the car. The party with
hounds had none.
Things so happened that cut near
Westport the two parties met.
Neither had fox at the time, but
the hounds were on the trail and
baying to the four winds up the
line. So across country hit Vern
Soltau and party; the others went
on after the hounds. But Of sud-
den the hounds came back. Now
according to hound runners only
the death of a fox will cause their
leaving the quarry. Suspicious
arose: the other party had snaked
the fox ahead of their hounds.
Unmindful of the fact that the
hounds had returned the Soltau
party had cooked up scheme.
They would tell them they got the
fox out near Long Lake. So they
did, but insistent was the hound
party that they had gotten their
fox. Hadn't they seen them?
Hadn't they headed for the hounds.
Hadn't the hounds come back?
Why wouldn't they show the boys
the fox? ~
There is one simple answer
there was no fox. What happened
was the boys decided to pull good
one. Vern suggested they get the
skin of the fox shot previously,
drape it over the car, make few
turns through the town, and the
rest would take care of itself.
All this they planned unknowing
Of the startling evidence piling up
against them. So it was too late to
back down after that. They had
made their story and were stuck
with It. tIea4 Vi
How about the tracks the boys
couldn't find at the alleged spot
where the fox was supposed to-
have been killed? They were neat
ly gathered up and stored in Guy
Scott's ice house.
