For several weeks wolves have been

enough to attack men, owing to the

WITHOUT GOVERNORS NAME
Paine Bill, Providing For Federal
Plan, Becomes Law.

Columbus, O.-The Paine pill, pro-
viding for return to the federal plan
of government for cities of Ohio in
place of the present board plan, be-
came law without the signature OF
Gov Harris, by reason of the expira-
tion of the ten days the governor has
had in which to consider the measure.
The bill was filed in the Office Of Sec
retary of State Thompson by the gov
ernor's private secretary just before
noon, which was the final act of con-
verting the measure into q law.
II does not go into effect until jan
uary /, 1910, so some of the present
members of the city boards elected by
the people will not be disturbed until
the expiration of their terms.
Gov. Harris has not yet taken any
action on the Espy small school board
bill. He probably will not sign 1t, nor
is he likely to veto 1t. Thus 1t viii,
in all likelihood, become law on May
21 by expiration of the ten-day veto
limit.

Harshbarger Of Matawanna found a
large wildcat caught by the hind leg.
To get the bounty on the scalp, how
ever, his catship had TO be transported
alive into Miffiin county.

Harshbarger fitted hoop, constructed
from a sapling, in the mouth and
fastened 1t in the forks OF a small tree
Then, with a pole he picked up cat

sack. Throwing the sack over his
shoulder he carried the cat nine miles

sacks, as the animal had bitten and
scratched its way through the others
The cat died during the night, and
