Gray Wolves At Work.

W. A. Watson is in the city today
for the purpose Of obtaining a large
quantity of strychnine, which is to be
used in an attempt to kill the gray
wolves which infest the country
about fifteen miles southeast of Flor
ence. Every effort has been made to
kill the wolves, but SO far with only
Indifferent success. The slaughter Of
calves and yearlings is quite heavy.
The strychnine will be put up in cap
sules and secreted in chunks Of horse
flesh, which will be strewn over what
is known as the "Hillv ranch. If the
effort to poison is unsuccessful it is
not improbable that grand wolf
hunt will be Organized. Florence
