decided that he would at least try to
reduce the number Of wolves and ac.

not gine far from the house when he
discovered three of the animals feed.

killed. He picked out the largest OF
the three and fired The animal at
which he had shot did not fall, bu,
inst FAD started directly for the ranch
mans adobe house, the door Of which
had been left open. He followed,
thinking to get another shot, but on
reaching the house he was greatly sur.
prised to see instead of lobo, a large
st. Bernard dog lying on the floor OF
his house stone dead. In some man.

and had been running with them and
