ing to the Chicago Daily Tribune for 
Beno, 1937, 
About Jan. 7, 1937, the Danville Com- 
mercial-News carried a story about a 
“wolf” having been shot near Potomac, 
Vermilion County. 
“Wolf” drives were planned or held 
April 5 and March 19, 1938, near Clinton, 
De Witt County, according to the De- 
catur Herald-Review for March 19, 1938. 
A pack of “wolves” was found near 
Broadlands, Champaign County, about 
Feb. 16, 1939, according to the Arcola 
Record-Herald of that date. Two were 
shot on different days; one weighed 24 
and the other 46 pounds, according to the 
newspaper account. The 24-pound indi- 
vidual was identified by the writer as a 
reddish chow dog, which in death, at 
least, carried its tail straight rather than 
curled in usual chow fashion.

According to the Chicago Daily Trib- 
une of Dec. 28, 1938, a “wolf” weighing 
33 pounds was shot the day before near 
Sugar Grove, Kane County. 
In about 1938, wild dogs were common 
in rough country 4 miles north of Harris- 
burg, Saline County, according to R. E. 
Favreau, at one time employed by the 
Illinois Natural History Survey. 
According to the Pike County Demo- 
crat, a “wolf” was shot near Summer 
Hill about Oct. 18, 1939, and another 
was seen. The county board had recently 
passed a resolution placing a bounty on 
wolves. One had been reported killed near 
Pittsfield a few weeks before the resolu- 
tion was passed. 
According to the Champaign-Urbana 
News-Gazette, Feb. 28, 1939, at least one 
“wolf” had recently been reported near 
Mahomet.
