Carl Dunrud to Exchange Ten Gallon Hat For Parkha; To Lasso Musk Oxen
NEW YORK, May 22.-(AP)-Carl Dunrud, famous Yellowstone national park ranger, is going to exchange his ten gallon hat for a fur parkha, his Mexican heeled boots for snowshoes and Invade the sub-Polar regions to try to lasso musk oxen and walrus.
The cowpuncher who has a national reputation for throwing and tying steers, will sail with the American Museum of National History Greenland expedition early in June.
The experiment of lassoing musk oxen and walrus, George Palmer Putnam, director of the expedition said today will be made for the purpose of obtaining specimens of these creatures for the American and Denver museums. The Canadian government which owns Ellesmere land, has given permission for the capture of a limited number of the beasts.
Another experiment to be tried by the expedition is the “banding” of Brant geese, to learn their migratory routes.
