Ashland People Have a Wolf Hunt.

ASHLAND, Neb., Feb 26.-(Specal)-
There was a grand wolf hunt southeast of
town Saturday. Two territories were COW
cred, the first roundup being at the Fair
land school house. The lines started at
$50 a. m. and covered the territory south
and north of the school house and as far
east as Creamer's east line. This roundup
accomplished nothing as there was not a
wolf in the ring. One, however, escaped
through the north line. But not being con-
tent with this, all were eager for another
roundup. The captains divided the men
equally and surrounded the territory one
mile north Of Kleiser's and east. The north
and west lines stood still while the other
two lines drove the wolves out of the woods.
The roundup was on corner and a better
place could not be found. The men in the
hollows drove the wolves out and one was
driven through the north side before 1t
was entirely formed. When the men came
cut of the woods three wolves were in the
ring. One was killed at once. Frank Gill
bert shot another. The one left was a fine
large fellow and each hunter was anxious
to bring him down, But the wolf was too
sharp and after running for some time es-
capped down through a hollow.
