Marble Creek, seven or eight milel
south of Ironton, have had full grown
steers killed by the wolves the pas
spring. 1t seems to us that raiding

they are not SO formidable or great il
numbers that prompt and decisive
action would not ~extinguish them

had three head of cattle killed by thu
wolves.
