"a re- s.
A good sized gray wolf was seen
on Fifth street between Bank and
Timea street this morning by H. G.
w. Eppers. Mr. Eppers said the wolf
was making tracks across a vacant
lot there, and that he was only across
the street from him when he spied
the animal.
The wolf was a good sized animal,
and evidently had been chased in
here, perhaps from across the river,
where there are plenty OF wolves run
ming at large according to all reports.
At any event the sight of wolf In
the city outside of a circus menagerie
or the Rand Park zoo, Is most I'M
usual.
The wolf visitor was heard from
later this morning. He was attempt
ing to get meal of chickens from a
yard on Exchange street, between
Tenth and Eleventh streets. The
wolf came into the yard. and chickens
commenced to make disturbance.
thinking 1t was only dog, some of the
people attempted to scare him OH,
when the animal broke out of the yar.l.
The wolf was followed in his fight
by a squad of boys and men, armed
with whatever weapons were close at
hand. The wolf darted down South
Tenth street, when driven away from
his breakfast of chickens.
The animal is said to be big as a
good sized dog, and is evidently trying
to make its way into the timber on the
outskirts of town.
The wolf was killed this noon in
West Keokuk, it was reported. Tho
wolf bounty is $40 in this county.
