NEWTON COUNTY WOMAN HAS A DEMPSEY PUNCH.

Morocco Courier — Mrs. Sam Robbins, of Colfax township, raises chickens. She raises them for profit, and not to feed meandering wolves, and when one of the latter invaded her roosts Sunday evening she did not propose to let him_get away. When it became apparent in the Robbins household that something was after their chickens Sunday evening Mr. Robbins sought his trusty shot gun. But Mrs. Robbins did not wait for her spouse and, armed with a piece of two-by-four, she proceeded to the hen house. There she met and gave battle to the intruder, and one well-placed blow was all that was required. Later investigations disclosed that the vfrolf was a full grown animal, and that his neck had been broken by the owner of the invaded roost. Aside from saving her poultry, Mrs. Robbins can also collect the bounty on the dead wolf.
