Scalp Swindling.

From the New York Mail.
There Is law in Wisconsin under
which the state pays a bounty on the
scalps of wolves. the result being that
those animals are persistently sought bv
hunters. So many wolf scalps have been
turned in of late that the royalties have
proved rather burdensome to the stats
treasury
While examining a lot of scalps not long
ago a state official became suspicious.
Were they real wolf scaips? Unable 10
settle the question, lie sent a batch OF
tie scalps to Washington for an expert
opinion. He got il promptly.
They were not wolf scalps at all. But
guess what they were? Neither more
nor less than the scalps of squirrels. IL
is estimated that the state of Wisconsin
has been swindled out of SlOo,UCV by the
scalp trick.
