Grand Wolf Drive.
1000 men wanted at Kniman, Ind., on Thursday, Jan. 17th, 1893, for a grand wolf drive. The plan is to meet at Kniman at 9 o’clock a. m., where the men will be placed in 8 companies under as many different captains, and sent north, south, east and west to designate points where a line will formed until the circle is completed. A steady advance will then be made from all sides, drivingevery-thing to the center, which will terminate in an open field selected for the purpose. It is proposed to form the circle at least 4 miles in d’ameter, which will enclose 16 square miles of territory, and as wolves are very numerous in this vicinity rjare sport is anticipated. Beside the wolves there should be some fox, and countless numbers of rabbits in the ring. No guns will be allowed to be carried. Come erery-body for a good time, and to assist in ridding the country of these pests. Committee on arrangements; Frank Peters, J. E. Hill.
