Hon. E. D. Coe, of The Whitewater
Register, has the following on early
day wolves in Jefferson county:
A few Sundays since The Inter Ocean
| contained letter of nearly column
from Hubbleton, telling how in the
'40's, or late '3O's, Benjamin Piper, a
Jefferson county pioneer, was chased
| by pack Of wolves when on his way
from Watsrtown to Ixonia, and how
| he escaped by taking refuge in cave,
where he killed enough wolves to block
up the mouth and then made his way
out of another opening 200 feet away.
| AS the writer was born within half a
mile of Ben. Piper's house, and used
to hear all the pioneer stories of the
time, and never heard of Piper's wolf
scrape or of any such handy cave as is
brought into the story, he thinks it
must have grown tremendously on
somebody's hands.
