Hunting Wolves With Lizzie.

Wheatfield Review. Dr. Fyfe, while making a professional call at the Matenky home in Walker township Monday, and while driving his Lizzie, saw a large gray wolf in a com field on the Barnard ranch. Doc got Bill Jeffers and gun and put Bill straddle of the radiator with gun pointed straight ahead and took after the wolf through the 200 acre com field and after Doc had run all over the field and had mowed.the com stalks down all ready for planting oa«s "in the spring and the darn coyote got away. The Lizzie had enough com stalks sticking through theradiator, wheels, gear and fenders to fill a 50x100 foot silo. When Doc had made another call at the frame place Tuesday afternoon, on the road home he wasn’t satisfied with one day’s sport. He again thought of the wolf and while he was thinking the Lizzie became unbalanced and Doc and het took a'header for the ditch and turned right side up down, breaking the top and windshield all to smithereens. Then Doc remembered how he had advocated the plan to have the township roads widened after the editor and his Lizzie had run off into the ditchanar Kersey (no damage to either the editor or his Lizzie). You would now hardly know Doc’s new 1916 car with a 1917 new top, windshield, radius rod and radiator on it. Doc hasn’t called at the Review office to report his diagnosis of the trouble and we are unable to quote the medical term to use when a Lizzie is upside down in the ditch, but we hope Doc will make a more determined effort to have the roads widened.
