them through the southern part Of the

QUARREL OVER WOLFSCALP
Thomas County Thinks It Is Paying
For RaTIins County Wolves

Thomas and Ra Wins county officials are
involved IN a controversy over the bounty
to be paid on wolf and coyote ScaIps- The
commissioners of Thomas county have
been paying the bOuntieS but the number
of scalps which have been brought in
causes the commissioners to believe that
the heads of Rawlins county wolves have
contributed to the number slaughtered
and claimed to have been killed in
Thomas county
This suspicion is due to the fact that
RawlIns county's commissioners have de-
clined to pay the bounty
In answering the inquiry from the coun-
ty clerk of Thomas county, Attorney Gen
eraI GODDARD says
The law fixing a bounty for the wolf
and coyote scalps IS mandatory and coun-
ty commissioners can be compelled TO
pay it
With this opinion it is believed by the
u ThoHaas county authorities that the men
who kill wolves in RaWIins county will
require the commissioners Of that county
TO settle with them
