WOLVES.

IRiver I'rcss.l


A gent leman who has just returned
to the city from business trip o Fort
Conrad, in the northern part OF the
county, gives an alarming account OF
the ravages of wolves among the stock
i'm that section. IT seems they no
longer cOniine their depredations to
the smaller animals. such as calves,
colts and yearlings, but now attack
and destroy full grown, fat and healthy
steers.
Their plan OF operation L. about as
follows: They single out an animal,
and by IA series OF attacks from every
side worry or tire him, until being no
longer able to defend himself. his enc
mics hamstring and then finish him.
The wolves now run in bands of
dozen or more, and many fear that
the time Is last approaching when they
VIII not hesitate to attack II man il he
should he caught alone and unarmed
upon the range.
That they have become boller and
more destructive during the past year
Is beyond question. At first they
would attack only young calves or
colts or old COWS unable to defend
themselves. Then they ventured on
yearlngs. II didn't take them longto
learn that they could master these
animals. and now they feel able to
cope with most anything that walks
on four legs. Their taste has also been
cultivated in the process. They no
good enough for them now. They
want warm flesh with plenty OF rich
warm blood with it, and when they
can get il they will takl nnihinss l,lse-
Hence it is that northern Montana
wolves, unlike CassiIs. do not have II
''lean and hungry look" but are fat,
sleek-headed and sleep o. nights.

TRAGEDY OF THE MINES.
Tom Bloodgood Shot by His Traant Wife for
Refusing to Pardon Her Lover

CHEYENNE. Wyo., Jan. 2O.-Sherff
Hanson and two deputies passed
through here this morning in hot pur-
suit Of Mrs. Alice BlOodeoOd and Jack
Gushing, who are wanted in Cintah
county, the former for the murder OF
her husband.
Mrs. BlOodgood is IA tine-looking
blonde OF about 26, and was the wife
of the foreman ut the Hams Fork coal
mines, near Evanston. Two weeks
ago Gushing came to the mining town
and announced himself as puelist.
lie was a big, strappingfellow,s spared
well. and the miners made "a pet of him
and were going to back him against
any l6O-pOund man in the region for
81 900. Gushing said he came from
Pittsburg, Pa, had been knocked out
by Jack Dempsey, and claimed q have
whipped La Blanche, "the Marine"
lie seemed to know all about coal
mines and not little about women.
lie made such successful love to Mrs.
BlOodgood that night before last they
left town on horseback toget her. They
were thirty miles from railroad, and
Bloodgood and some friends went i'm
pursuit, only an hour behind. They
overlook the pair about midnight,
and q parley was had. BloodgOod
offered to forgive his wife if she would
come back. "Will you let Jack go?"
she demanded. Bloodeood refused,
and the woman raised pistol and
shot him twice. While his friends
lifted him of the saddle the elopers
galloped off, and, it is believed, caught
an east-bound train. BloOdgOOd died
almost instantly. Sheriff Hanson
thought the elopers might have gone
to Denver from here, but got no trace
OF them, and went on to Omaha.
