Several farmers in the town of Texas
have been missing sheep lately. The
mystery of their disappearance was eX-
planned last Saturday when a farmer
living north of the Brokaw road went
out into his pasture bordering some
woodland and saw wolf devouring
one of his sheep. The wolf ran off in
to the woods at the sight of the farmer,
leaving the sheep about half eaten. 1t
is supposed that forest fires in the town
of Hewitt drove the wolf into the farm
ing settlement. The farmers are too
busy at present fighting fires to organize
a wolf hunt, but will do so later.
