Farmers about the county re-
port an unusually large number of
foxes and wolves this winter and
many Of the animals have been
brought to the courthouse here for
bounty. In discussing the subject
Of wolves and their close resemb-
lance to dogs in many cases, a
group OF town of Reedsburg resi-
dents recall som 3what unusual
yet disastrous happening of few
years ago.
s. j. Collins Of the Collins Ken
nels, Reedsburg, had a female
police dog, imported from Ger
many by Mr.. Kuhn of the Milwau-
kee Corrugating company and val
ued by Mr.. Kuhn at $4,000. Mr..
Collins had the dog at his kennels
from Friday until Sunday night
when she dug out Of the enclosure
and was seen ny Ed. Glossy, who
was at that time employed at the
@. RetzlaR farm near Reedsburg.
Seeing the animal in cornfie1d,
Glossy shot her thinking she wes
wolf, took her to Baraboo, and
it is stated he received both the
state and county bounty. He took
the dog back to Reedsburg i'm
mediately afterward and had all
the old wolf hunters examining the
big timber WOLF which he had
shot.
Mr.. Collins was told of the Incl.
dent and went to the place where
the "wolf" was on probation and
found his police dog, "Flossie", IN
place of the wolf.
Needless to say, AIr. Collins did
MT get any of the bounty and, OF
course had no comeback as the
dog had gotten from under HIS con-
troll. Flossie was considered one
OF the best of her breed and her
loss must have been keenly felt by
her owner.
There are now in Sank county a
number of police dogs, some of
them quite valuable. In Prairie
du Sac and Sank City there are
kennels where the animals, are be,
ing bred for sale and the hunter
before shooting his wolf should
look twice lest he shoot valuable
dog

perus, Colorado, to renew his sub
scription to the News. Mr.. Snyder
is in charge of the Fort Lewis
School of agricultural and house
hold economies. In his letter he
mentions the fact that Miss Joan

and vacation which she will take

been a very efficient stenographer
and secretary at Fort Lewis for
