Wagner and two buy Skunkiver gland for coons
A group led by J. Fred Wagner stakes a wildlife retreat on an island in the South Skunk River about 20 miles south of Newton. William Matthews of Detroit and Clarence Guessford of Newton joined, acquiring title to the island and planning to expand timber land to support coon hunting. The camp drew several hunters and trainers, praising the island's dense timber and sycamore trees as ideal for coon propagation.
