WYOMING BOUNTlES.
Apparent Decrease in the Number Of
Wolves and Coyotes.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Sept. 23-(SpeciaD
AT the last session Of the legislature,
In January, 1901, an appropriation Of
$4,000 was authorized as a fund for
bounty Oh predatory wild animals dur
ing the ensuing two years from April
l, 1901. To date $24 ,063 has ben paid
out, leaving $15,937 for the remaining
seven months, or until the expiration
of the two years to be covered by this
appropriation.
The legislature of 1899 appropriated
$4,000, which sum was exhausted in
one year, whereas the S24 .063 eXpend-
ed out Of the present appropriation has
covered a period of one and One-half
years. This indicates that wolves and
coyotes are either decreasing In nnm-
bers, or ranchmen are not hunting
them with the same vigor as hereto
fore.
Reports from the ranges indicate the
former to be the true cause of the fall
ing off in receipts of pelts for bounty.
In some sections. particularly where
sheep have been graZed for several
years and where the winters have been
especially severe, there are few coyotes
and wolves at present. In other Sec
tions of the state the pests appear to
be numerous, but not SO much SO as
formerly.
Ranchmen report that the prairie
pests are migrating to the ranges of
Montana and the British possessions,
and advance as their reason for think
ing so that the almost complete exter-
mination of rabbits and other small an
ilnals In the state has made it neces-
sary for wolves to seek greener pas
lures. Then, too, the campaign waged
against the pests by ranchmen and pro-
fessional hunters, who usually hunt
out the dens of cubs and destroy the
pups, has had much to do with depict
ing the number Of wolves and coyotes
on the plains.
