are now claims against the state aggre
eating S20 797. So, and the figures~will be
increased to $4,000 before many months

for over 1000 s6olXes slaughtered, seven
eighEhs of wlldoh5Were cubs. A peculiar
thing about the wolf bounty matter is
that the more boptAous a county becomes
the more wolves afe killed in it Reports
come from ndhpy county officers in the

that oftentimss fox skins are taken for
