WOLF HUNT ISPLANNED
Farmers In Middle Creek and North
Skunk District Are Wroth.

1t seems improbable that Mahaska
county is returning to the wild and
wooley' condition of fifty years ago
but certain incidents that have hap.
pened during the past few months in
the vicinity of Rose Hill serve to sub.
stantiate the fact. The wolves have
become so numerous that live stock
such as pigs, sheep and small calves
are no longer safe in the fields or in
open sheds. Several of the farmers
residing north of Rose Hill along Mid.
die Creek and North Skunk river have
suffered the loss of sheep and pigs to
the extent of many dollars. There
seems to be no way to stop the ravages
of the beasts for they brighten at the
sight or smell of human and keep
we'll out of gun range. One mother
wolf, considerably holder than the rest
reared her young under a lumber pile
on the Phil Grace farm about one and
half mile northwest of Rose Hill.
The lumber pile was close to the gate
by which Mr.. Grace and family passed
through daily, but the nesting place
of the mother was not known until
after the young were of sufficient size
to tame care of themselves. The farm.
ers of the community have become
both alarmed and angry at the damage
done by the daring robbers and they.
have offered reward OF $25 each for
the determination of the beasts. A
gigantic wolf hunt is being planned
which will take place in the near fu-
ture. 1t is hoped to be able to kill
several of the animals on this raid. At
present there is no way to stop the
ravages of the wolves except by a
close watch on the fiocks which takes
much time and which at this busy sea-
son of the year Is almost impossible.
Wolves are seen at dusk and early
morning standing at distance and en-
viously cycling the herds OF sheep as
they Craze in the pastures and II the
fiocks are not watched closely they
will steal within short distance and
then make a rush among sheep. What
have been seen are of the large tim
Der wolf variety and are of sufficient
size to kill even cattle if they were
forced by hunger to do SO. Upon IN
yestigation several places in the bluffs
along North River and Millde Creek
have been found among the rocks and
In burroughs where the mother wolves
have raised their young. At night a
large pack will gather and pass ov55Tr,
the country awakening the. residents
with tffsir ho%1ngg aFhs reward offer.
ed BY the farmers together with the
bounty offered blythe county should
be suficient inducemcnt for someone
who is well versed In wolf hunting TO
camp in the vicinity of Rose Hill.
