Kipker, of Etna Green, could supply someone with a big start with a beaver coat after trapping a monstrous beaver recently on the Olie Clase farm at Muskelonge Lake.

Mr. Kipker figures the beaver will bring him about $8 and says he can remember the time it would have sold for $65. He has trapped 11 beavers this year, the largest weighing 39 pounds. 75 Years Ago Miss Minnie Gilliam and Mrs. Tillie Phillips have returned to their homes in Warsaw after visiting for the past months with the latter’s son, Fred Phillips, in Connecticut.
