KILL THE WOLVES.
Hon. James Fergus Calls a Meeting OF
StockgrO~ers to lake Action.

EDIToR ARGUS: The horse n
Of this county organized a horse
roundup which has been carried out
successfully. The next thing is to
hold a meeting of stool; owners to
form an organization to kill the
wolves that are destroying colts,
calves and even grown animals.
Three freight teams passed here three
days ago loaded with cedar posts,
with one mule short, killed by the
wolves, They also killed fourteen
out OF fifteen colts In the same local
ity. One OF our sheepherders report.
ed two colts and two calves killed on
his range during the three days rain
this spring. Ourforeman, Mr.. Johns,
saw three old and twenty-three young
ones at one time lately, and after
several days hunting with men and
dogs only two of the pups wereiound
and killed. These are but samples of
the destruction they are causing.
They are getting too cunning to be
destroyed by ordinary means. Bet.
ter offer a good bounty and get rid
Of them II we can. The Fergus Live
Stock & Land Co. gives n So bounty.
Oscar Stephens is also very liberal in
giving bounties, but this. as 1t were,
is only a drop in the bucket.
The stockgrowers in the Missouri
valley near Helena are giving a pri-
vate bounty OF SIS. Choteau and
Teton counties are also giving large
bounties.
Let us lay these sectional bicker-
ings to- one side and do something
for the common good. The young
folks will do nothing, so the old man
advises that a meeting Of the stock
growers Of this county be held ut the
court house in Lewistown at 10 "A. m.
on Saturday, June 16, to take steps
| to organize acounty association, and
to take such steps as our sister cOun-
ties are taking to get rid Of this pest.
