Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1914-03-25

given to Cary:
State of Wisconsin, County of
Grant, Town of Patch Grove. 1, P.
Mcnamara, Chairman of said town in
said county, do certify that John
Cary. Jr. has exhibited to me the
carcasses of ten wolf pups which he
claims to have killed in said Town
on the 18th day of April, 1900. that
the scalps we're destroyed in my
presence. Given under my hand and
witness this 9th day of June, 1900,
P. Mcnamara, Chairman of the
Town"
Now Mr.. Cary stood by all this
time and received that certificate
knowing it was not correct, as 1 see
it. This stuff was exhibited on the
18th day of April and given the 9th
day of June, 1900, lacking three days
of two months. Thirty days was all
l was allowed to hold a certificate and
scalps. Here is two months lacking
but three day before presentation, and
no scalps accompanying this certificate
at all whatever.
In Mr.. Cary's claim brought before
the County Board, he claims there
were nine puppies and one old one.
That female wolf has come to life
again since himself and Mcnamara
counted her out in. the chairman's
certificate. It was stated there, that
there we're ten pups and no old one.
The County Board disalIowed both
claims as there were two parties con-
tending for the same wolf.
When we got to Bloomington Boyd
telephoned to MIR. Charles Dickinson
to hold that certificate until we came,
as under the circumstances we claim
ed that wolf. We stayed that night
with Mr.. David Ball. We got to
Lancaster about four days later, went
to Mr.. Dickinson's Office to ascertain
what he had done. Mr.. Dickinson
said he had better bring our claim
before the County Board as there were
two parties interested. MIR. 81. ".
Brown and myself did appear before
the Board and was told they had dis.
allowed both claims I remember of
saying this: Gentlemen I shall
never put my dogs after another wolf
when have her time on my book
until after her time expires.
Now I want one or all of those
parties to make me reply through
the columns of this paper and if you
don't, I shall consider you did bust
ness about as straight as a ten rail
fence staked and ridered.
l would like to see letter from
Mr.. John Roesch, also Dustin Pierce,
Garthwaite, Tony GRAMS, and others,
also one from, Mr.. A. Wayne all of
this city.
Now for one object to paying
bounty on young wolves any longer.
Take the bounty off of the young
wolves and put it onto the old foxes
and old wolves. After the first day
of August they should be classified as
old ones as they are doing for them
selves, catching their own living,
then no chairman can be deceived.
A wolf half or two-third grown, could
not be mistaken. The same rule
would apply on foxes. If a chairman
could be deceived he ought to be put
out of business.
Mcnamara. Mr.. Cary and his fol-
lowers would have made a success
only for the keen eye of that County
Board disallowing both claims to stop
the contention of the two parties.
The chairman notices to the voters
for their signatures at the spring cleo
tion is in my hands and will be
mailed to each chairman Saturday
March 21st. Thirty three in number.
Farmers now tend to your duty and
sign that petition.
Now; letter No. will not appear
until after the County Board meets.
It is ten minutes to IL p. m, so will
bid you all goodnight, and oblige me.
