Wolves Are Causing Trouble In Kankakee District

Little is known in the outside world of the wolves thsd still infest the region of the Kambakee river district But those farmers living at the Range line, south of Lowell, report the animals quite active, and the howling at night is more distinct since the severe cold set in. Several are in the pack and they seem to subsist on rabbits or on carcases of hones and cattle that hanpen to be left alone by a i owell reduction com pany that has deprived wolves and buzzards of many a hearty meal. Wheeler Bryant and Joseph Dinwiddle have each killed wolves it is reported. Section men along the Gifford saw one passing with one leg dragging a steel trap. A small dog was sent in pursuit but was soon vanquished by its distant relative of the wilds. Then the wolf escaped before a gun could be procured.
