Livermont is in from Rad river to-
day transacting business. He SAYS
the grey wolves are getting very
bothersome again and suggests that
hunting parties be organized for
the purp ,se of exterminating the

trial in Montana and Wyoming and
proved quite successful and if pro-

ravenous and many beast becomes
their victim before spring.
