Henry Targerson Of Leon trapped
large wolf near his place last week.
Ole o. Sovick, the we'll known
farmer OF Eddy, who also delights to
take a good hunt, and trap during
the cold seasons of the year, has al
ready captured three grey dogs, who
inhabit our woods and prey upon
sheep and other creatures which they
can devour. But on Thursday of last
week he struck the hardest job and
longest travel he has made for some
time, in order to get a trapped wolf,
who had snapped the chain and made
his getaway. Mr.. Sovick, when going
out to his traps on this morning, had
only taken along a 22-calibre rifle
with only one shell in his possession.
The wolf proved wary and led him on
for miles, never getting close enough
to risk the lone shot on him, al
though seen time again. After hours
OF chase through deep snow and
through heavy underbrush Mr.. Wolf
finally took refuge in machine shed
over at George Rossell's place, where
Mr Sovick got next to him, where
the % did the work.
Our old friend, Martin H. Dustrud
formerly a resident of Caledonia
township, but now Of Horace, N. D.,
remltting for another year for the
journal, writes: "Politics are great
~ mixed up here. A. c. Townley and
MS rubber stamps will soon be turned
out. III nothing else will, the taxes
tnls year will open the eyes Of the
people, and it is high time If they
oont want our state run into bank
ruptcy. These League leaders are
the worst kind of carpet baggers we
ever had here. The taxes are over
twice as much as last year. Greet
lnes to you and other friends. -
