Wolves EntIes Away DOGS.

John Berry has returned from q
hunting trip to Fish creek and reports
lots of wolves and few rabbits. It is
believed that the presence of so many
wolves has had something to do with
the scarcity of game in that section.
The big gray animals were constantly
tagging the hunters, trying to entice
away their dogs, and the dogs had
to be tied at night to keep them safe,

plebeians in Rome, in of which MS
