ELK BROKEN TO HARNESS.

ELEVEN elk that have been broken to harness and trained to drive single, double, and tandem, are owned by two men of Columbia Falls, Mont. They were captured about a year ago, and were easily tamed, being now as gentle as horses. They were taken by hunters on skis. When an elk was located, it was driven down the mountain side into the deep snow in the valley, and there roped and made captive. The owners have had offers ranging from $200 to $250 apiece for the animals, but none of the herd is for sale.—Selected.
