CAPTURE A COW MOOSE
The details of an extraordinary capture come from Aitkin, to the effect that Wm. Smith and Jay Wilbur, hunters of that place, left for a moose hunt on March 5th, and have just returned with a live cow moose—something that has never been taken alive in this country. It required five days to get their captive so subdued that it could be handled. It now takes its place in a barn as docile as can be. It was captured in Aitkin county, twenty-five miles north of Aitkin.—Brainerd Dispatch.
