ESCAPED PET WOLF
CAPTURED THURSDAY
A pet wolf, nearly grown, belonging
to John LeCompte, escaped about ten
days ago and during that time has
been making raids on the poultry
yards of the neighbors on East Bay
and vicinity. Wednesday morning
Ted Elder caught sight of the animal
and gave him good chase along the
bay shore but lost sight of him. Oil
Thursday, he, accompanied by Ulvin
Aldrich and Bob Anders with a couple
of dogs, went out to find Mr. Wolf
and they sighted him in the tall grass
and weeds along the ditch about a
half block north of the A. E. Wickhani
place. The dogs gave chase all over
the vacant lots in that vicinity, up to
the Lutheran Church, and finally cor-
nered him in an old wrecked auto near
by, where he was captured. The boys
are very much elated over the success
of their chase and are planning on
taking their catch out to the Army
Reservation right soon and having a
sure enough chase.

AGAIN WE BEG PARDON
In correcting the Land For Sale
local of Garry Gossett's last week to
make the acreage read right our lino-
type man put one too many ciphers
in the price, making it read $250.00,
when it should have been "'Any size
tracts from 40 acres up—$25.00 per
acre." We read proof on this local
this week and am sure it reads as Mr.
Gossett intended it should.
