Shakespeare, insofar as these young
people are concerned, is dead issue.
Not so with the actors, however, for
since it was announced that George
Arliss will act THE Merchant of
Venice" 537 players have asked for
engagements in this production.
An interesting feature of these let
tiers is that large portion of them
came from young players who never
have acted Shakespeare. AS there are
only 20 roles in 1.-THE Merchant of
Venice" and of these three are femi-
nine. it is evident that it is impossible

For the third time the supreme court
has decided an issue of the controversy
between e. r. Calvert and others and John
Anderson and others regarding damages
from the overflow of an irrigation ditch.
This decision is upon the judgment Of
the district court for Gallatin county which
allowed damages to the Calverts and an
injunction against use of the Anderson
ditch until repairs had been made. The
court afirms the judgment, finding that
the bill of exceptions was delayed beyond
the time limit through reliance on an at
tempted order of the district court, which
was made before it had authority.

HUNTER OUTWITS
CUNNING WOLF
"OLD SNOW SLIDE" Is TAKEN
AFTER EIGHT MONTHS
PURSUIT
Barney Brannin, WOlfer, for Ten
Years i'm Government Employ, Cap
lures Animal that EIuded Hunters
for Fifteen Years

After eight mOnths of hard work, pit
ting the strategy of a skilled hunter
against the cunning of an old wolf, Bar
ney Brannin, wOlfer who has been for 10
years in government employ in Montana,
has destroyed Old Snow Slide, who, in
the last Is years, has probably killed
from $4,000 to $4,000 worth of livestock
in the HighwOOd and Little Belt noun
tains, according to word received from
Geyser, by II. e. Bateman, chief OF the
predatory animal control division for
Although stockmen who have had long
experience with animal believed that he
would never be trapped or poisoned, the
VOLTS death finally came through a poison
bait. In order to Outwit the animal, Bran
min was forced to all sorts Of eXpedients.
Although he used three different horses,
their tracks as well as hat of the hunter.
Finally Brannin resOrted to the plan Of
leaving the horse he rode on the Travelled
highway and then made a covering Of
sheep-skin which he placed on the sOles of
his shoes before leaving the trail to go out
to prepare his poison lines.
Covered Big Territory
According to Brannin's belief, the animal
operated in both the HighwoOd and Little
Belt mountains as he twice followed him
from one section to the other. The range
of the wolf was at least from Square Butte
to Spion KOp, a distance of 80 miles. In a
letter to Mr.. Bateman the hunter said that
the wolf was the most difficult to secure
in his experience and that during the
months he followed the wolf he often laid
awake at night trying to devise new
schemes to capture i'm.
According to a letter from a stOckman
at Geyser, the wolf, only three weeks be-
fore it was killed, destroyed a twO-year-Old
heifer and a yearling and also tore but did
not kill two yearling steers. The wolf was

believed to be at least Is years old and the
damage which it has done to livestock is
estimated at nearly $4,000.
Believed To BE Last One
The wolf is believed to be the last wolf
left in the HighwOOd mountains where q
number of wolves have been killed in re-
cent years. 1t is also Brannin's opinion
that it is the same animal that has been
causing much damage in the Little Belts.
If this proves true, it is probably the last
wolf ranging in those mountains, too.
The animal was named Old Snow Slide
by Brannin during his long trailing be-
cause of the color and size of the wolf and
from his habit of sliding into the High
woods so unexpectedly and then slipping
into the Belts from there"
Brannin has been a wolfer in Montana
since 1915 except for two years service in
the army during the World war, part Of
it in France. He has destroyed a number
of the most crafty wolves in the state
which have destroyed in their time a large
amount of valuable livestock.

MANY IMPORTANT
ISSUES BROUGHT
UP AT &C. MEET
APRIL 4TH MEETING OF LOCAL
CIVIC ORGANIZATION DISCLOS.
ES MANY EVENTS OF IMPORT
ANCE TO BE CONSIDERED.

At the regular monthly meeting of
the Redwood Falls Commercial Club
which was held at the club rooms Mon
day night, April 4th, the reports Of
the different committees were read
and business in general transacted.
Many important questions were
brought up for discussion and were en-
acted upon. The meeting of the Board
of Directors preceded the general
business meeting. Those present for
the board meeting were John O'Meara,
president of the board, E. L. Spen-
GER, Geo. Freyer, Leon H. Brown,
DR.. Lynn and F. G.. Hubbard.
/. Among the important issues brought
up for discussion was that of the
Redwood Falls Cooperative Egg and
Poultry Association of Redwood Falls.
Mr.. o. A. Negaard, manager of the
local association was present and
gave the associations views of the
poultry and egg marketing situation
in and around Redwood Falls. The
board of directors Of the association
will sell Certificates of Indebtedness
so that working capital can be secur-
ed with which to pay the farmer a.
round rs per cent of his sales at the
time Of purchasing instead of wait
ing for the market returns from ship
ment as has been done previously.
A motion was made and carried that
the club would lend its moral support
and financial support so far as pos
sible to the Cooperative Egg and
Poultry Association. Mr.. Negaard
applied for membership in the club
and was accepted.
The matter of the train service on
the Redwood Falls-Sleepy Eye branch
that was to have been curtailed by
the railroad company was not discus
sed except for the letter that was re-
ceived by the club from the Railroad
and Warehouse Commission, stating
that the railroad company would not
withdraw the train before the COM
mission sanctioned the movement.
The seemingly high price Of gas
in Redwood Falls was discussed with
the result that the secretary was in
structed to write to the different oil
companies requesting lower price
gas to compete with the other towns
in and around the county. The dog
license war that seems to prevail in
Redwood Falls was taken into con-
sideration at the meeting. 1t seems
to be the opinion of many dog owners
that the idea of the higher tax ORR
ginated and was approved by the Com
mercial Club. This is false state
ment, the club thought it matter
for the consideration of the City Coun-
Gil only and had nothing to do with
the higher tax that has been levied.

CONFERENCE OF
SOCIAL WORK AT
SLAYTON, MAY A
UNDER AUSPICES OF STATE
CONFERENCE OF SOCIAL WORK
BOARD OF CONTROL AND EX-
TENSION DIVISION OF U. OF M.

MinneSota has a national reputa-
tion fortrits hospitality, for its Ten
Thousand Lakes, for it's natural re-
sources, but best of all for its Won
derful laws offering protection to
children Each year, at a designated
place, and at considerable expense,
State Conference of Social Work is
held, atawhich questions relating to
children and their families are given
consideration. Since the attendance
is necessarily limited, the people at
large do not benefit to the extent
which seems desirable. In order to
overcome this disadvantage, it has
seemed advisable to arrange for Re-
gional or District Conferences. Such
a conference has been planned for
Slayton in Murray County, on May
4th, 1927, under the auspices of the
State Conference of Social Work,
the State Board of Control and the
General Extension Division of the
University of Minnesota.
No fees are to be charged, the
meetings are open to the public,
and the opportunity will be given to
both ask and answer questions which
are pertinent. The only requirement
in an interest sufficient to induce
those to make the trip to Slayton.
Since 1913, Minnesota has had on
its statute books a law granting to
certain mothers with dependent chill
dren stipulated monthly allowances
from county funds. From January 1,
1918, to December 81, 1926, the sum
of Sc, ,293, ,34O.50 has been thus expend-
ed. Do people know how much of this
sum has been spent by the county,
or how many families have received
this assistance in 1926? Has the
county solved the best and most econ
omical method of investigating and
supervising this allowance. These
questions will be answered at the
meeting.
The topic, County Allowance to
Mothers" is to open the program.
1t is requested that at least one per-
son from each community attend this
session. It may be found that it
will pay in dollars and cents. Miss
Mona C Callister, Child Welfare Work
err of Redwood County will attend this
conference.
