Trappers! Now’s the Time to
Cash In, Farm Magazine Says
Early winter weeks are the
time when rural trappers can
cash in on more dolla s of pelt
value than any other season of
the year, says Successful Farm
ing magazine in its current is
sue. December-trapped pelts
bring good prices.
Muskrat pelts show a good
red at this season with only a
few dark streaks along the
back. Trail-and-slide set is
best right now. Locate where
’rats leave water to secure food
or where they slide down a
steep bank into water to eat.
Place trap in about three inch
es of water. Cover lightly. Fas
ten trap out into deep water.
Fox-trapping in farmland
country is made harder by the
chaince that you may catch
stray dogs. Follow fox trail
with first, light snowfall. Use
hole set after you locate fox.
To make it, dig a hole about 12
inches deep into side of a back
woods hillside. Pull dirt from
hole as fox wculd do in digeing.
Bait hole with piece of muskrat
or rabbit. Place trap in d y soil
with piece of waxed paper be
neath and over trap. Cover
waxed paper with thin layer of
dry soil. Brush over set with
evergreen brush. Leave as na
tural as possible. Don’t prac
tice this set close to farmhous
es; it is good for dogs and cats,
too.
Mink are found along small
streams, creeks, rivers, and
ponds, the magazine continues.
Confine mink sets strictly to
water; the animals sense of
smell is sharp. Mink quickly
locate any unclean trap or dis
turbed surroundings. In plac
ing mink traps in small inlets,
arrange traps so traveling mink
will step between , and not ov
er jaws. This assures higher
grip of the trapped foot or leg.
Look for mink tracks in mud
edges about rocts of large trees.
Keep your eye upon spot a
mink trail leads into or from
water. Mink are more easily
trapped where they leave the
water.
Opossum are trapped about
persimmon trees, at entrance to
hollow logs (baited to attract
them), in dry ditches, and so
on. Set traps where you see
spreading, hindfoot mark.
When trapping about persim
mon trees, find where possum
climb up tree, and place trap at
base of tree. Thus you avoid

Battle of Wounded Knee
Was Raging 56 Years Ago
Just 56 years ago, on Dec. 29,
1890, the Battle of Wounded
Knee, the Nation’s last great
Indian fight, was raging on the
Nebraska frontier, throwing
the entire West into a state of
I alarm, it was recalled this week
by the superintendent of the
State Historical society, James
C. Olson, in his weekly press
release entitled, “Out of Old
Nebraska.”
The Sioux, who, in a desper
; ate but vain attempt to save
their last remaining hunting
grounds from occupation by the
! Whites, had struck terror into
the hearts of a generation and
more of Nebraska’s pioneers,
had been placed on a reserva
tion at Pine Ridge, just over
the line in South Dakota.
Pine Ridge was a dismal place
—a forlorn, straggling, little
! camp in the vast emptiness of
Dakota. It was a humiliating
experience for a once proud
race of warriors to be set down
there in virtual imprisonment,
and the tribe seemed doomed to
a slow, painful death. With
hunting and fighting taken
from them they had nothing to
do but spend their days in mis
* erable idleness, existing on a
government dole. The govern
ent tried to teach them to farm,
but those who were not unwill
ing to learn had their efforts
blighted by drouth. The sum
mer of 1890 was particularly
bad. The Sioux country that
1 year was a veritable dust bowl.
Asf a ray of hope through this
blanket of gloom, there came
out of the West the news that
a “Messiah” had appeared with
the message that the “great
spirit” had heard the troubles
of the Sioux and would restore
them to their former hunting
grounds, which once again
would be filled with buffalo,
catching many dogs that would
be trapped if trap Is merely
placed in a likely spot beneath
the tree.
deer, and antelope. The mes
sage spread like wildfire, and
many among the Sioux tribe
took up the “ghost dance.”
Although it is now quite evi
dent that most of the Indians
had no intention of taking the
warpath against the whites,
many newspapers were certain
that the country was facing an
immediate Indian outbreak.
The death of Sitti{ng Bull,
famed Indian chief, who was
killed on December 15, in a
fight which followed his arrest
by Indian police, heightened
the tension. Trouble did come
in late December, 1890, but
hardly as the result of aggres
sion by the Indians.
On December 28, Col. John
Forsyth of the 7th U. S. caval
ry halted a party of about 400
Sioux under Chief Big Foot on
their way to Pine Ridge. The
next morning Col. Forsyth de
manded that the Indians give
up their guhs. The soldiers
were in the process of collect
ing them when someone fired
a shot. Needless to say, the
battle was on. When the smoke
had cleared away, 32 soldiers
and 156 Indiatns were dead..
Many of the Indians were wo
men and children.
The situation remained crit
ical for several days. Several
thousand soldiers were hurried
to the scene, and the Nebraska
militia was called out to guard
our northern border. (The bat
tle had taken place about three
miles from the Nebraska line in
South Dakota.) The general up
rising which the whites feared
never materialized, however,
and by the middle of January
all of the Sioux had surren
dered. The last Indian “war*
was at an end.
