they often carried off sheep and hogs. Even cattle
attacked. From year year the dogs have
grown wilder. until now they have the characters

several hunters have been pursued by them.
William Gould had the most exciting experiences
three days ago and his tale has aroused the farm
ers to action that they have formed them
selves into posses and are hunting down the wild
dogs. with a view to exterminating them.
Gould returning late in the evening from a
hunting trip when he heard the snarling OF the
wild dogs close at hand. He cleaning eyes
a couple of rods away. and concluded to kill the
animal But attempting fire he found he
had no shells left Then he discovered that he was
