Galla- way's gun to finally do the job. When viewing their kill, they were amaged to find the beast minus part of two paws. It is reasonable to sup- pose this wolf is the one whose paws were found in a trap set by Mr. Brown almost a year ago, as the stubbs were perfectly healed.. During the past summer farmers have been reporting injury to dogs and sheep killed. This now is believed to he the cause and no doubt the hunters will be on the lookout for more of its kind. The wolf was shot in Brown's bush some two miles from the village. Ptke. William Heibein, Hamilton, spent the week-end with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Heibein, • Pte.
