Captures Live Black Fox

Indian Alexander caught a black fox
alive in a trap. The animal was not
injured in any way. Alexander started
for town with his rare captive, but on
his way in met another Indian who in
formed him that he would be arrested
if he brought in the animal alive, but
he would not be hindered if he brought
in the pelt only. Alexander promptly
killed the fox and sold the skin to a lo
cal dealer. The ignorance of Alexan
der has probably cost him considerable
money, as a live black fox would bring
a good figure from breeders on the
coast, far in excess of the actual value
of the skin.
