Wolves are numerous this winter IN

been killed, still there are many

and death records during 1908. Births

greater part of their lives died during

says he has it recorded in the 1909

Miss Mary Coil of Lake George is
here visiting her grandfather, John
Otremba. and other relatives.
We are requested to announce that
tresspassing on premises owned by
parties not living here is no longer
dangerous in the region back of
Lastrup. A new scheme has been
devised by genius by which tress-
passers for fire wood cannot be
caught very easily. A large bell has
been placed on a high stump on an
elevated place near the banks OF Mink
cceek. A girl watches the road and
gives waring by ringing the bell
when suspicious Individuals appear
in the neighborhood, thus giving
trespasses time to escape.
