The wolf that has been stealing w.
r. Hammett's chickens and living off
of the fat of the land around the
slough is no more. He made his
home in the slough and was seen
several times as he prowled about in
search Of food. Monday morning
Mr.. Hammett saw him in his barnyard
and took shot at him. This morn
ing Walter Laird caught sight of the
animal and despatched it with two
shots fortunately directed. The animal
turned out to be a young prairie wolf,
and Mr.. Laird will be entitled to a
bounty. Talk about the wild and
woody west, when wolves inhabit the
slough and prey upon the barn yards
in the neighborhood and are shot in
dooryards. Mankato can enter the
Duluth class, with it's bear story

Capt. r, J. Holcombe of st. Paul
sepent several days this week erect
ing the fence around the tract of land
owned by the State of Minnesota at
Fort Ridgely. The fence is five feet
high, is made of iron and is said to
be very ornamental. It cost the state
the snug sum of s2,325, and at that
price should be something out of the
ordinary, at least. The balance Of
the appropriation of $1,000 will be
used in fixing up the old commissary
building, and cement work, etc. The
people of this section of the state are
very generally badly disappointed
that the money should be used for this
purpose as they feel that additional
ground should have been secured, but
it appears the fellows in the city haG
the inside track and the wishes of the
people ordinary cut no figure Fair
