BIG WOLF DRIVE TO BE MADE NEXT SATURDAY

Plans for a big wolf drive were made Friday night by an enthusiastic and interested crowd of citizens when they met at the Gillam school house. The date for the big event is next Saturday, February 7th, and the area to be covered is approximately 100 square miles. — •The route covered will be west of Medaryville, the east line being the Monon railroad from a point one-half mile north of Medaryville, at the east and west gravel road; then south following the Monon railroad* to a point three and onehalf miles south of Francesville; .west to the Gifford railroad then north to Giffard. The lines will form at 8 a. m. ready to start promptly ait 8:80. Captains in charge of the north line will be Ivan Oopess and Ronald Pullins; east line, Claude Record and Jasper Houston; south line, Frank Bailey and Carl Onken; west line, Leslie Tillett and another to be chosen later. The roundup will be at one o’clock at Jasper Houston’s 400aere farm, which is centrally located and in the clearing. Rifles will be barred from use. There can be no doubt that there are many wolves in this section, as many as four together being seen at Jasper Houston’s farm last week, as well as at other places recently. Two were captured early in the winter and unless they are eradicated much damage in the Joss of live stock will result. Enthusiasm is at high pitch m anticipation of the big drive and many people are expected to be on hands early for the start. —Medaryville Journal.
