While chatting with the ARGUS re-
porter yesterday NJ. NJ. Messner of Utica
said: "The wolves on the upper Jul
dith are more plentiful this year than
ever before, and it would well repay
anyone who understands the business
to come up and hunt them Mr.. Mess
ner also mentioned the fact that the
road between Lewistown and the upper

every year,; so much so, in fact, that the

ployed for some time at the Lewistown
hotel.
A dastardly outrage and an insult to
the American flag was perpetrated at
Gilt Edge last Friday, when some time
during the night an individual, who is
undoubtedly devoid of all patriotic
feeling or. even common decency, tore
the mourning decorations from the
~postofice and cut the halliards Of the
flag, letting it down into the mud in
the street. Much Indignation was ex-
pressed by many Of the citizens, though
no clue has been found which would
discover the culprit. II the author of
the cowardly action could be caught,
and 1t seems as IL thorough investiga-
ton would unearth him, he ought to
be given a coat of tar and feathers and
run out of camp. 1t is up to the citi-
zens of Gilt Edge to remove the stigma
of this d~astardly crime from off their
town by taking energetic means to To-
cate the perpetrator.
