Wolves Are Bad
South of Bogata
Weldon Elbert v’eteto of Dal-
las- formerly of Deport, has sole!
to William Rozell. Regain bank-
r and stockman. 630 acris of
unimproVed land 2'i miles south
of Bogata on Highway .37 The
tract adjoins land owned by Ito-
zell.
When the editor asked William
if he planned to fence and stock
it with goats to clean it up. he
said that wolves were too bad
What the newspaper man can t
understand is why all the deer
hunters in the area with high-
power rifles don’t clean them out
and make some money from the
bounty. It is as much sport to
wait out a wolf and kill it as it is
a buck—and get paid for doing it.
