                                                  Poaching at Dusk

        As night was setting in, Officer Rusk caught Zeke dead to rights with an

        elephant's tusk and the animal's husk.

        The warden also had him confess to hunting oxen and deer for their fragrant


        musk.  Zeke was fined and warned never, never again to hunt for musk, tusk, or
        husk, nor any other game at or after dusk.
