WOLVES BOUNTIFUL
NEAR MONTICELLO

Monticello, May 28.-Wolves abound
in this locality this year to a greater
extent than ever before, and almost
5000 in bounties has been paid out by
the county auditor in the course Of the
past twenty days to farmers bringing
in pelts. 1t is said that owing to the
fact that the wolves were unable to
exist in their usual abodes because
of lack Of food, they have come to this
vicinity in large numbers. Farmers
report having seen wolves on their
land and some of them have hunted
down and killed them for the sake Of
their bounty.
