Clever Work of n Gun.

The wolf gun was considered such a
foolish device that the United States
government for a long time refused to
issue patent for it. Now it is in OPP
Grafton and is saving thousands of
head of cattle, sheep and swine. Doz-
ems OF ranchmen in Colorado and Wy
oming are providing themselves with
the weapons. and it is said that they
are worth their weight in gold" The
wolf gun is an ordinary gun arranged
to explode blank cartridge every
hour during the night by clever little
device invented by a Kansas man. The
ranchman places it near his herds and
goes to sleep, knowing that they will
be safe from the attack of predatory
animals because these animals fear the
report of gun. II is faithful watch.
Every hour its report can be heard,
and if there are coyotes within half
mile of the machine they will endeavor
TO get more distance between them and
the noise.-Denver Times.
