   HUNTING TODAY.
   
   Strict Sporting Rules Will Be Followed in a Drive Covering Six Square Miles -- Betting on the Results.
   
   There are too many wolves running wild in and about Kansas City. According to a farmer who lives near Swope Park, some of the animals come up in sight of the Zoo Building on hunts for chickens and young calves. To clear the distric south of the city limits of the wolves, a hunt will start at 9 o'clock this morning, covering six square miles of the best wolf country and end in a 100-acre field three miles southeast of Dodson. The hunt will begin about two miles south of Raytown.
   
   STRENGTH OF THE ENEMY UNKNOWN.
   
   The strength of the wolves is unknown, but it is not believed that any of them are armed. However, at least five hundred farmers are expected to take part in the wild animal round-up -- and there may be as many as fifteen hundred, for the event has been well advertised.
   
   The wolf hunt is going to be something like a fox hunt -- only there won't be any horses. All the hunters will walk and the sport will be conducted according to the rulebook on African lion hunting. There are to be four captains: George Corder, S. Wirt, J. Douglass and Isam Duck, all farmers. Each of these will have five lieutenants, and only these twenty-four will carry guns.
   
   Privates in the ranks of the "beaters" are not, however, restricted in the caliber of sticks they may use if attacked by a wolf. As many men as report at the post will be apportioned among the officers. The hunters will walk in lines seventy-five feet from each other and there will be four lines. The square will close in and pen the prospective wolves in an open field, where the officers can get a better bead on the animals. It will take about two hours to cover the course laid out.
   
   THEY'VE HAD WOLF HUNTS BEFORE.
   
   "There are lots of expert wolf hunters out south of town," Mr. Corder said last night. "We have had wolf hunts out here before. I can't make an estimate of how many wolves we will get, but we know there are lots of them there."
   
   "What are you going to do with the ones you capture?" Mr. Corder was asked. "Give them to the Zoo?"
   
   "Hardly! You know the county pays $2.50 bounty for wolf scalps. We are gong to collect the bounty and put it into the school fund."
   
   It is said the hunt is a result of a wager of some of the farmers, who bet that three wolves would not be caught. The purse is reported to be $300. But win or lose, it doesn't look very good for the wolves, does it?
