A Big Gray Wolf.

John Cavinder, of Walker Tp., was in today, to harvest the bounty on a big Gray wolf he killed the day before. He shot it near Amos Davidson’s place, in Union township. The wolf had been devastaking the poultry flock for some time, und Cavinder and his son-in-law were out looking for him. They happened to get close to the wolf as he lay asleep, and when he started to run Cavinder downed him with a charge of uumher 4 shot, in the short ribs. He brought the hide in with him, and it was a pretty largo wolf.
