Joseph Struntz, residing within a
mile of the GAINESVILLE city limits, shot
an animal he claims to be timber
wolf which was in the act Of killing
a hog in Struntz's pens. Struntz
heard the commotion during the night
and went out finding one hog dead and
the marauder attacking another. He
took one shot and killed the wolf
which tried to escape. He at first
thought it was a dog and paid no at
tention to the incident. Later he came
to the conclusion that he had killed
wolf and applied for the 500 bounty.
It is claimed that this wolf is the re
mainder of pack of six which caused
great damage to stock in that vicin-
ity two years ago before hunters drove
them out. The head of the wolf has
been sent to Madison for positive iden-
LITIGATION.

Game Warden g. S. Little of Stanley,
was recently quoted as saying that he
had found dead cartridges in the woods
by the hundred and believes that if the
winter continues it will result almost
in determination of those birds. They
plant themselves in trees and feed on
the frozen buds during the day and at
night drop to the ground to warm in
the snow, but the rain formed a crust
that prevents them from digging into

are obliged to fly back into the trees
and freeze to death. "The destruction
is serious" Mr.. Little said. "and no

years in the Waupun penitentiary by
the Madison courts. McCleIland has
two wives, one at Milwaukee and one
at Madison and is the father of child

second wife appear as a party defend

Then he promised McClelland if he

But whether a military man or a civilian will take the war office has not yet been decided.
 Earl Kitchener met death at moment which will insure his position in BriAsil history. He was almost the only member of the government who from the begin ming confidently asserted that this would be a long war-his lowest estimate wa $ three years-and he insisted that the gov ernment should make it's plans accord ingly.

In 1910 he paid a brief visit to the United States during trip around the world. At that time it came out in the New York papers that the great Kitchener was a woman hater." He took occasion to deny this and said the only reason he had never married was because he believed a man could not be a good soldier and a good hus band at the same time.

 It was while there. in 1882, that he took his first step on the path that was to lead him eventually to knartum. Trouble was already brewing in the Sudan. Hear ing that the Egyptian army was being organized by Sir Evelyn Wood, young Kitchener saw his opportunity with un- erring instinct and lost no time in of fering his services. The military au- thorities. recognizing at once fhis insight into the native character, put him in the intelligence department, and from the very outset of his Egyptian career nego- tions of the utmost importance were en- trusted to him and carried out with in variable success. As an intelligence offi- cer, Kitchener accompanied Sir Herbert Stewards desert column on that heroic but disastrous enterprise known as the Gordon relief expediton-the relief of General Gordon from Khartum, where he had been entangled during the evacu- ation of the Sudan. Kitchener deeply took to heart the lessons of this fiasco with it's failure of transport and inteli- gence departments, and avoided these troubles in the expedition which he him self led some years later. In the mean time Kitchener was employed in fnnum- erable fights and raids against the der wishes or Mahdists of southern Pvyypt In 1886 he became governor of the Red sea territories and set in motion a series of raids on the notorious Osman Digna the dervish leader In one of these raids Kitchener's men were flanked and put to flight during which he received d bullet which broke his jaw.

 New York is now paying S1 for the best seats, but every one is all praise for the picture. and it is believed here that it is a convincing argument for peace.
 Then, at the Liberty, we find the other great feature picture, The Fall of Nation" by Thomas Dixon. and there is also a musical score specially composed for it by Victor Herbert. This is the first picture for which a score was spe- cially composed by an American com poser.
 Unlike "Civiization." "The Fall of Nation" is a preparedness picture, show ing what could happen to us in an un- prepared condition, as we are. It is also very pretentious and impressive. Each picture however, is almost like a direct argument against the other. They are filling the houses at each performaQce.

 The official news was a greater sur prise than it would otherwise have been because no one knew that Earl Kitchener had left England A memorial service will be held in St. Paurs. The nation was depressed and grieved at the news of General Townshend's sur render at -El-Amara, but not before has it been saddened as today.
 The first question asked when the news of Kitchener's death was announced was:
 Who will succeed him?''
 The answer invariably was, Robertson, of course"
 Sir William Robertson, who is regard ed as the only possible successor to Earl kitchener as the head of the British secretary's duties temporarily when the secretary started on his ill-fated journey. On Saturday and again yesterday he had audiences with King George to report the activities on the British front in which the Canadians have so distin- guished themselves.
 PEOPLE ARE CONFIDENT
 The general has the full confidence of the country. While only a member of Parliament may serve as secretary of war, Secretary Robertson will be eligible if raised to the peerage, or member of the House of Commons might be- ap- pointed war secretary with the under standing that a senior officer, like Earl Kitchener, would have a free rein.
 When the news of the sinking of the cruiser Hampshire with Earl Kitchener and his staff on board was received in London, meeting of the British war council was immediately called.
 Sir William Robertson, chief of the inn perial staff, who probably will become the head of the war office; Sir Edward Grey, secretary for foreign affairs; Regi- nald McKenna, chancellor of the ex- cbequer, and David Lloyd-George, minis ter of munitions, were present at the council.
 The newspaper reporters at the war of fee who had not heard the news regard ing Earl Kitchener announced:
 Neither Earl Kitchener nor Premier Asquith was present"
 Earl Kitchener was appointed secretary of state for war on August s, 1914, a few days after Great Britains declaration of war on Germany He was regarded as Englands greatest soldier and the de- cision of the government to entrust him with supreme direction of the war was recei, ed with unanimous approval.
 As the war progressed Great Brit aims deficiencies in certain directions, particularly in regard to the shortage of artillery ammunition became ap- parent, Earl Kitchener was subjected to severe criticism, led by Lord North cliffe. The secretary was charged with responsibility for failure to foresee the extra ordinary demand for heavy shells, and as a result the ministry of munitions was formed with David Lloyd George at its head
