Where are the wolves coming
from9 Since the report of their in
fux into Grant county, published
in the Herald a week ago, reports
have come from other sections of
the state and other states telling of
the increasing number of the war
mlnts." These reports also state
that not only wolves but lynxes,
foxes. and wild cats have increased
alarmingly. One argument for
their increase is, that due to the
depletion of the forests, the wolves
and other carnivOrous wild animals,
are forced within the bounds of
civilization, the animals they feed
upon disappearing with the timber,
Others allege that these types of
wild animals are merely followers
of civilization and will be quickly
exterminated. Either or both OF
these arguments may be true but
one thing is certain, their coming
has brought forth recollections to
many old hunters.
j. G. Parker residing between
Bloomington and Patch Grove died
at his farm home, Monday morning.
