the duty Of officers and citizens in
enforcing the laws of the city and
state. What novelty it would be to
see all the city fathers Of Mineral
Point lined up in church. Would it
not be well for some one of our min
listers to take similar step? Itmight
be the production of some good to
our city.
Darlington Republican: The
wolves captured near Fayette last
week proved to be, not wolves. but a
couple of pups belonging to Phil
rkinson. II seems that the pups
were in the company of two old
wolves alright enough, hence the
very natural conclusion that all the
members of the gang were wolves.
1t is unusual for dogs to keep wolf
society, and the hunters who pur-
sued the outfit did so believing they
were chasing pack of wolves Dogs
who do not wish to be chased as
wolves should avoid wolf society.
