Kansas Wolf Drives.

Hanover Correspondents TOpeka CAPITAL.
Wolf drives are the order OF the day
throughout this section and hardly a
week passes but what two or three of
them are held. Some OF these drives have
been very successful On one occasion
eight wolves were routed and seven of
the eight fell victims TO the hunters
guns. Another time FIVE were killed, and
several times there have been two or
three wolves killed as a result of the
drive. Wolves seem to be plentiful this
season, and the farmers are determined
to rid the country of the pests.
They have no trouble in interesting the
sportsmen of the nearby towns in the
drives. and II is no uncommon sight to
see 500 men In the roundup. Usually cof-
fec and sandwiches are served at the
roundup grounds, and a general good
visit is held for a short time before the
gunners disperse.
