Lowell Is Planning for A Big Wolf Drive

Lowell, Ind,, F eb. 16.—Our town has been all excitement for the past two or three days over the report that several wolves had been seen in the neighborhood east and south of Lowell and as a consequence ai.d as a. result the nimrods liave ransacked the garrets and brought to light all the old muskets and other fire arms and gon J on the hunt for Mri Wolf. Great stories are told each evening by hunters us they gather in town, as to how they saw a wolf that day and came near, adding its scalp to their belt, but at the wimLup of the story they tell the same thing—“we did not get him today but will show you fellows how to kill a wolf or two tcmorrow.” A st range r coming to tow n and seeing the hunters armed and ready to go oh their daily wolf hunt, would think we had organized a company of soldiers for war.
