Reports are coming to us OF The
killing of sheep by wild cats on
Knapps. Beaver, Douthards Creeks
and other sections of the county.
Hundreds Of dollars worth OF sheep
and lambs have been killed, and
some farmers have lost the entire
increase Of their focks. Old sheep
are by no means immune from at'
tack, and many who do not know
that full grown wild cat is more
than a match for a large doe, can
hardly believe the killing to be
work of cats. We hope the matter
will be taken up BY the county

work commenced last year by al
least doubling the bounty upon cat
