War on Wolves.

Alex Heron. of PagOia. was a Craig
visitor last Thursday. He reports that
the cattlemen on Williams Fork have
hired couple of professional trappers
to rid the range OF the wolves which
have been committing numerous depre-
dations among the cattle on the range
III that vicinity for the past several
months.
Mr.. Heron says that during the past
ten days the wolves killed eight calves
within his immediate vicinity.
AS these wolves had to be gotten rid
Of in some manner the stockmen hired
Two hunters to whom tllev offered a re-
ward of $50 for each wolf captured.
These men went in on Badger creek. a
branch of Williams Fork. and captured
. wolf in a trap. This animal they let
remain alive and in the trap. During
the evening and early morning hours
his captive would set up a howl. thus
decoying others to their fate. as the
hunters lay in hiding close by and when
other wolves appeared they we're
promptly shot. In this manner six
wolves have been lured to death within
b week.

The Pierce Assault.

The Leadville News Dispatch Of last
Wednesday gives the following particu-
lars OF the dastardly assault on j. N.
Pierce:
AT 1880 to-day Jerry Pierce, the well
known cattleman. WAS brought home
from Minturn. Colo. more dead than
alive.
Shortly after 8 o'clock this morning
Mr. Pierce reached Minturn on special
train loaded with cattle belonging to
Pierce. Reef X Co. Minturn Is the place
where the train crews always change.
and when the train pulled into the yards
the old crew dropped off and the new
crew had not yet taken possession Of the
cabOOse.
Mr.. Pierce and an assistant named
Watson were the only two men in the
cabOose. Mr.. Watson went out ahead
to look at the cattle and MIR. Pierce staid
in the car He was partially asleep
when masked man entered and ordered
him to throw up his hands. lie went
through Pierce's pockets, took SIS and
his gold watch. About the time that
his pockets were rifled MIR. Pierce was
fully awakened. The idea struck him
that perhaps some one was playing a
joke on him and he reached over and
pulled the mans mask off.
That was all he remembered. The
hold d-up Immediately used his gun and
struck Mr.. Pierce over the head with it
several times. The weapon inflicted
several ugly wounds and the injured
man fell to the floor of the car and lay
in pool OF his own blood where he was
found about 80 minutes later.
The boId-up had fled and Or. Hoffman
was summoned to dress the wounds.
Mr.. Reef came up from Wolcott at
once, and this morning Mr. Pierce was
taken home on the noon passenger train.
DIR. Hoffman says he thinks the wounds
are not dangerous. but could not tell
just what to think Of the case yet.
Mr.. Pierce regained consciousness
soon after he was found. but is very
weak from the loss Of blood. He cannot
stand alone and his left arm is partially
paralyzed. probably from being beaten
with the gun.
Mr.. Pierce is one Of the best liked and
kindly men In the city. After busi-
ness career both here and in Aspen for
twenty years lie has not a single &C.
Quaintance who does not dearly love him
and who will sympatbize with his family
IN their sorrow at this time.
