KILLS HIS SIXTY-NINTH WOLF.

Squire Bussell of Hanging Grove tp., Began Slaying the Varmints When But Eleven Years of Age. Squire Charles W. Bussell of Hanging Grove tp., killed another prairie wolf last Tuesday, making the total number that has fell by his hand in the past forty-five years, 60. This is a record probably unequalled by any other resident in northern Indiana. Mr. Bussell killed his first wolf when he was but eleven years of age, and has been slaying them right along since whenever he got an opportunity. He has sent two carcass’es to Washington, D. C., where they were mounted and placed on exhibition in the Smithsonian Institute, and another will be found in the museum of the state capitol in Indianapolis. The one killed Tuesday was brought in the following day and presented to the Rensselaer high school, and will be mounted and added to the high school museum. This animal was killed not far from Mr. Bussell’s home in Hanging Grove tp.
