8A However lambs are yet being killed on in the later part of June and the first part of July. Fight lambs have been killed in as many nights, J. A. Ferguson being the chief loser in this case. So he and his son William, with Don. McArthur and John Watts accompanying, took the car and went to the farm where the lambs were killed, two miles away, and kept vigil in a gecluded spot, not too far from where the sheep were grazing. J. A. bad put open bells on seven of the sheep a couple days before which proved to be a help, for just when At the Council meeting in June, some claims for lambs killed were settled for by the Council and the story of wild dogs was gone into. The Game Warden for this district was notified and he came up at once. The people turned out that afternoon, 20 or more with guns, and had a general hunt, but got no dogs. _A pup that was trapped is still kept chained up at Albert Yakes‘, 10th con., and it wae examined by th> game »a>~Zen. In his opinion, there was a cross of something wild in it. Last Spring, when the maple sap was running, Neil McQueen, 10th con. was in his bush, when he ran into a litter of young pups, 3 or 4 months old. They barked and snarled at him, but ran away when he gave chase, second growth and brush beâ€" ing so thick he lost track of them. Knowing there were a couple of old fox dens near by, he proceeded there and a short distance from the mouth of the dep, he saw a dead woodchuck,| yet warm. He shoved a long gad down into the hole or den, and in a short while something caught it and began dragging it into the hole, but‘ he saw nothing more of the pups that | day, though he heard old dogs barkâ€"| ing not far away. He set traps and caught two of the pups: one still lives at Mr Yakes‘, the other was killed.| There were five pups seen at that time but no more could be trapped . Three old dogs quite large and strong have been seen together at different ; times before and since then, and are supposed to be the heads of that| pack, but they are wary and nobody‘ has been able to get a shot at them.‘ Wild Dogs Destroying Stock in South Egremont For the past two months or more, geveral farmers between sideroads 10 «ng 25 on concessions 9, 10, 11 and 12 in Egremont township, have been lesing some of their lambs. For a while they were at a loss to know what was happening to them, as the lambs were taken completely away. One man on the 10th lost 6 this way, and a couple of his neighbors lost 2 or 3 each, but lately the lambs have grown too big to be carried away, and the carcasses are being found, always with the hindquarters eaten, or at least a feed taken out of them, and the rest left to be eaten by worms, or buried if thought best. It appears that these marauding animals, whatâ€" ever they are, are very particular aâ€" bout their food, as they never take the second feed out of their kill, but slay a fresh lamb whenever they get hungry . Wild dogs are being blamed for this, and thus is added one more serious problem to the already overâ€" burdened farmer. it up for you.

Last Thursday was almost an ideal day for a picnic and cars poured through the sideroad to A.

When the sheep noticed ‘them, they turned and ran off sideways, so the boys with nerves taut and hearts thumping, trained their guns along the path by which the sheep came. In a few minâ€" utes, which seemed very long, they saw something coming towards them on a slow trot, with nose to the ground on the trail of the sheep. It came within 60 yards of them before it saw them, when two guns spat fire and Mr. Wolf rolled over, but he was socn up and away across an oat field with three anxious boys in pursuit. However poor wolf had been badly hit for after running 80 rods, he lay down, and Don. went up close and finished him with another shot.
