WOLVES NEAR CITIES.
Absence of Deep Snow in Northern Wis
consin Makes Them Dan
gerOuS.

SUPERIOR, Wis, Dec. 23.-ISpe-
cial. THE absence of deep snow in the
north woods is making hard times for
the wolves, and as a result they are be-
coming holder as the season advances.
Without deep snow the wolves are I'M
able to follow and drag down deer and
moose, their winter prey, and reports
from the back country indicate that the
wolves are beginning to seek food close
to human habitation, thereby becoming
dangerous, but also easy victims to the
pelt hunter.
Cases of wolf attacks upon human be-
lngs are frequently reported, but as yet
no one has been killed by the animals
In Minnesota and Wisconsin the wolf
bounty Of $50 for grown animals ears
81 for cub, makes the occupation of
wolf hunting by poison, dogs and guns
profitable one, and sevral hunters have
found the business worth their while
An average of one wolf killed each
day in Douglass county, Mimi, has been
the record so far, this month The total
amount paid out in bounties was S46O
Otto Gaslin of Gordon. Wis, brought in
sixty sets of ears this winter.

to light by the death of Fred Clarence

Two years ago the father died and since
that time the search had been taken up
by the mother and advertisements had
been inserted in papers in all parts OF the
country in hopes of finding some trace of
the missing man. The estate of the ia

900 was set aside as the portion of the
wandering son and is still in the bank at

before he died he called some of his
friends to his room and told them of the
home of his parents. Hunt had not
heard of the death of his father and be

were still at Northborro.
