As LARGE as a Shepherd Dog.

A large timber wolf, as large as a
shepherd dog, was killed by a son of
John A. Sandry. living ON the old
Hainesvale" farm in this township
Sunday afternoon. His wolfship had
been seen several times near the home
when the dogs chased him. Sunday
afternoon he was after the dogs when
young Sandry got a small rife and
approaching within a few yards OF
him shot him through the shoulder.
He was ferocious and made for the
boy who used the gun as a club and
caved in the VOLTS skull. Notwith-
standing this the animal lived almost
half hour. This animal had grown
very bold and is thought to have been
an old timer. 1t is supposed there are
others lurking about that vicinity
and their scalps will soon dangle from
the belt of some of our mighty
hunters '-Lansing Mirror.

they hardly realized it, it was time
for something to eat" Ice cream,
cake and fruit were then served OF
which each and everyone partook
freely. Miss Glenna Babcock, OF

when parting time came was eff
