ate estimate Of the stock killed by four
wolves Of which he got trace WAS q

days or approximately 100 head Of cat
tie to each wolf. counting all as
calves" says Mr.. Bailey. lat the low
rate Of $40 a head. each wolf would at
this rate cost the ranchmen 81, 900 Il

themselves in the fall and continue to
