Had Lono Ears.

A canoe was hauled down the river
about half mile and launched into
the raging river" The wolf by this
time had absorbed about enough wa
ter to make him sink His ears We're
still showing, however. and w. S.
Lane soon had him deposited safely
into the bottom of the frail vessel
which was tossing madly on the
foamy brine"
The wolf was brought to town,
skinned and the pelt hung on a nail
infront of the Hill hardware store.
The pelt soon disappeared an 1t is
supposed that Mr.. Stevens got 1t.
Mr. Hill got out a search warrant
and sent Marshall Wilson after the
pelt. which was secured and will re-
main in the possession Of the marshal
until the bounty proposition is settled.
Now comes the question, who gets
the bounty? What per cent should go
to the owner of the dogs, what to
Stevens and McCracken for following
It, what to the man who shot 1T, and
what to those who got it from the
river? There hasn't been so much
excitement in Bonaparte since Still
we'll had his shooting match here.
The farmers north of town who have
been bothered by wolves have raised
bounty Of several dollars which is
also to be divided.
A large bounty was raised last win
ter and several hunts were taken
which were made as systematic as
possible but no wolf was killed. This
is the first one killed this winter.
! There are others in the woods near
here. A party of hounds and hunters
got one up Wednesday, drove him
! through near the E. E. Miller resi-.
| dence where he was seen.
Amasa Roberts caught six young
ones last spring, one of which he
sold to Blackford Bros. and is still in
their possession and quite tame.

Tuesday with Eliza crossing the ice

and unable to do much except en-
courage the dogs. When they came
past Lon McCracl1en's place Mr.. Nc

had no fire arm that would do execu-

McCracken and Stevens came to
Bonaparte ahead of the wolf, secured
rifles and gave the alarm. BY this
time the wolf was near the south
bank, having made the crossing by
jumping from cake to cake. w. S..
Lane and others got out firearms and
began peppering away, making a
noise resembling Fourth of July

Going over the old dam the wolf
was thrown into the water but was
able to climb upon small island.
Here he reached his death wound
and fell into the water, floating on
down the river
