was half-fed stray dogs. Not
being good wing shot even
could he get his eyes on the noe
turnal marauders, he concluded
to try cold poison instead of hot
lead. Friday night he doped a big
hunk of beef and spread it over
his pasture. Saturday Latimer
looked up the result Of his hunt
and found a large gray wolf
sprawled out on the green sward,
cold in death but beautiful to the
beholder. 1t is evident that the
pursuit of wolves during the
late winter and early spring in
Carroll and Livingston counties
should account for the appear
ance of the voracious carnivori

pig progagatOrs of those counties
to come on and claim their own.
