Waldrip foreman of C. C. Martin's sheep camp, forty miles north of Roswell, came in Friday with a batch of scalps upon which he made claim for bounty, says the Roswell Daily Record.  In the lot were fourteen Lobo wolves, seven coyotes and one "bob" cat.  It was quite a killing financially as well as otherwise.  The exact amount of bounty on these scalps can never be told until the end of the year, but last year the amount paid was over $15 for lobo wolves. Mr. Waldrip will receive almost two hundred dollars for his lot brought in Friday.
