Silver Fox
Back in Kent Pen
Tl.ru the kindly offices of C.H.Lar-
son of this city, manager of Kenneth
Springs silver fox farm north east of
Moro, Mrs. Theo. vdnBorstel has rt-
Luvered the ailv£C.iox which dug out
o^. its pen un the vonBoratel farm
near Kent April 1st last.
While
visiting at the Chinook Fur Farm
near Walla Walla about six weeks
ago Mr. Larson was told about a
strange silver fox which had been
brought to that place and offered
for sale by a passing motorist.
When shown the fox Mr. Larson
quickly identified it as being the lost
von Borstel fox by means of its ear
brands. The fox was found near
Ione by C. W. Frazier of Milton on
April 5th. How it got out of Sher
man county, travelled across Gilliam
egunty and half the width of Mor
row county without being seen is not
known. It has been at the Walla
Walla fur farm since April 21st,
when first offered for sale by Frazier.
C. H. Larson and wife and Mrs.
Theo. vonBorstel returned here on
Tuesday from a motor trip to Walla
Walla, bringing with them the fox
which was turned over to Mrs. von
Borstel after she had established
ownership of the animal.
