SLAYER OF % SHEEP
KILLED NEAR GAINESVILLE

GAINESVILLE, visa mammoth
timber wolf, weighing Sc lbs, was
killed Sunday by Sam Crek, of Gary
Ind, on the farm of Harvey Little, in
Evansville, Route II, west Of James
Vile The wolf had been in the vicir
ity for some months and became SO
bold as to run fiOcks Of sheep to the
barnyards during broad daylight.
Twentv-three sheep, mostly lambs,
were victims of the lobo's hunger on
the Roherty farm. Several were kill
ed on the Little farm.
The wise old wolf was sighted often
by farmers, but on occasions when
they were unarmed. He seemed TO be
able to sense danger. Hunting parties
organized to stop his depredations OH
livestock were futile.
Creek happened to be hunting rab-
bits Sunday and jumped the wolf in
a grass plot down a ravine. On the
first shot, Creek crippled the wolf and
kept after him, firing every time he
managed to get within range. After
chasing him mile and firing several
shots of the right rabbit load, Creek
managed to inf1ict fatal wounds.
Wolves have been seen i'll many
townships north Of GAINESVILLE and
several kills were made by hunters
lucky enough to jump them in the
open. Three wolves were seen last
week near the moulding sand pit in
the vicinity of Leyden.

CANCER ON INCREASE
SAYS CENSUS BUREAU

WASHINGTON D. C.-Deaths from
cancer in the United States during
1921 totaled $4,000, the census bureau
estimated Thursday, compared with
5000 in 1920.
The bureaus announcement, coming
in the midst Of a weeks nationwide
campaign to reduce the cancer death
rate, discussed the upward trend in
the rate, and said the 1921 rate was
higher than that for any preceding
year in % of the "a states making re-
ports.
In summarizing it's compilation the
bureau said:
1.-THE adjusted rates show that the
northern states have comparatively
high and the southern states compare
lively low cancer mortality, while
there is little difference between the
adjusted cancer rates of the white and
colored races of the same states"
