About two years ago two bulldogs,
for some unknown cause, wandered from
the ranch Of Bratt e. Co., near the head
OF the Birdwood, and joined band of
rowing wolves. They did not return to
the ranch, and have livsd with the wolves
ever since. Within the past year q
species of half dog and half wolf has
been infesting that section and commit
ting dspredations. They possess the
cunning of the wolf combined with the
ferociousness and pluck OF the bulldog,
and are consequently much more bold
and savage in their dspredations upon
the herds and belated traveller across the
plains. These wolf-dogs, or dog wolves,
are supposed to be the offspring of the
bulldogs referred to. They are bscom-
ing quite numerous and troublesome.
