D., May ing contests now are firmly fixed as annual affairs in Pembina county, The idea of a.wolf hunt was broached. three years ago. Each of the last two contests has been more successful than its predecessor. The third contest extended from Dee. 1, 1922 to April 1, 1923, a period during which only coyotes pretty welt grownm.would be killed. The county commissioners offered $50 to the persons killing the greatest number, $26 for second prize, $15 and $10 for third and fourth prizes. In addi. jon $100 was set aside tobe divided pro rata among persons. killing wolves, The money was in addition to the regular bounty. The main object was to eradicate wolves which prey on the sheep of the county, but the contest also fur- nished good winter sport, W. W. Felson, county auditor, an/ nounces that 87 wolves were killed in the contest. Robert Flanagan of Crystal, led with 16 wolf scalps to his credit, Albert Widme was second with nine, W. E. Styles third with eight and Andrew Olson fourth with seven, isos aN persons were in the contest.
