| X. G. track. while coming home from
! work Tuesday evening from the south,
| north of Scots crossing spied beast
near the track which he at first sus-
1 pected was a dog. Joe got near enough
| to see that the animal was large grey
! wolf. There was no instrument at
hand for Mr. Peoples to use, so he
! went around the reclining animal, and
secured not far away a stick suitable
to do some execution, and then quietly
/ came up behind the animal. As II
raised up Joe gave swing and the
| wolf keeled over dead. How II came
there is only conjecture. The SUPPOSE
tion is that either the animal had been
! slightly stunned by passing train or
/ else had lain down from the exhaus-
ton of chase. Mr.. Peoples took the
animal to Glenwood on Wednesday to
/ claim the bounty Of $40 and will have
