Wolves Seen Just North Of Town By Two Citizens.

Perry Marlatt and John Johnson saw two wolves just north of the Groom bridge one day the past week. They were only about 40 rods from where the men were and bn the opposite side of the river. The wolves bounded up and down as they jumped along in an excited manner. Neither of the men who saw them were armed. It is believed that the wolves had been drowned out by the high watei‘3 and Mr. Marlatt believes they had traveled a considerable distance. They were following the river and were going down stream. The high water, Mr. Marlatt said, had driven many groundhogs from their holes and they were scurrying about the fields for several days following the rain. Mr. Marlatt did pot think it possible to capture the wolves at a round-up as -hebeiiovcstheywerenatlve-to-aplac^-some distance away and are probably now many miles from the place they were seen.
