TRAINED MOOSE SERVES
AS BEAST OF BCRDEX
Fairbanks, April 4 ? William Mun
son, the Sulchaket roadhouse man.
startled the people of Fairbanks to
day by driving Into tho city behind
half grown mooso hitched to a
Yukon sled. He has been training
tho moose lor the paii few weeks
and now has him fairly well broke
to travel, though it sometimes
I ii> ks and occasionally balks.
The mooee is an elght-months
olj calf and was captured last
spring in the Salchaket by the In
dians. They brought tho calf back
home with them and Mr. Munson
purchased It with tho Intention of
taming and making a pet of it.
A harness has been fashioned by
Mr. Munson out of remnants of pony
harness. Tho sled Is a Yukon and
has curved pony shafts fastened
to It, making it Just tho proper
height for tho long-legged moose.
When not being trained, tho moo (c
Is kept in a corral In the road
hoi so grounds. When Mr. Munson
wishes to fcltch It up for practice,
ho usually has to entice it with u
morsel of food. In the same
manner . he must persuado the anl
aai to trot around with tho sled. On
caslonally tho mooso balks and 're
fuses to go ahead, and then tho
driver Is forced to got out of tho
*led and load tho balky b*ast ahead.
Mr. Munson has no doubt but
that he will be able to train tho
animal to go ahead with tho sled
for miles at a stretch.

get through with tho case and ask
ed the deputy whether or not a
quitclaim deed could be used to
tnd the litigation, but the repres
