FEROCIOUS WILD DOGS.
Becoming n Pest Along the Border of
Arizona and New Mexico.
From the CINCINNATI enquirer

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
John Bargeman Under Sheriff of Nava-
jo county has returned to Holbrook, from
an extended trip through the mountains
along the border of Arizona and New Mex
leo, bringing a tale that wild dogs are
creating havoc in that region among cat
tie and sheep. The dogs have been known
for only three years, first making their APP
pearance in q small band in American Val
ley. in Western New Mexico. They have in
creased wonderfully, and are now found
over a broad stretch of country, despite the
efforts of the cattlemen to extermnate
them. The dogs average about 100 pounds
weight. They have the head and shoulders
of bulldog, but the build of a timber wolf
and wolfish characteristics. In color they
are ashy gray, with long black hairs inter
spersed
Like coyotes, they are little afraid of
man, and will follow horsemen for miles
through the timber, not hesitating to at
tack footmen. They occasionally visit
ranches, and many instances are known
where domestic dogs have Joined the
bands. The dogs secure their food by kill
ing sheep and calves, and even full-grown
cattle are known to have been pulled down
by them. Colts are their special game.
Thomas Alger, a resident of Nutrioso is
responsible for the statement that animals
bitten by the wild dogs, If not killed by
them on the spot die within a few days
with all the symptoms Of strychnine poi
soning. He cites an instance where he was
able to verify the local impression to that
effect. His house dog was set upon by sew
eral wild dogs. Alger drove them away,
and the dog appeared little the worse for
his battle. Yet the animal died in two days
with all the signs of strychnine poisoning.
The timber dogs are continually getting
fercer and holder. and the residents of
Eastern Apache county are organizing to
hunt them down.
